I didn’t realise quite how angry I was until I started writing up this week’s singles. But it appears I am really quite furious if shouty caps are anything to go by. For which, of course, massive apollies- I have calmed down now. »

Rocking up the crest of their seventh birthday, DiS scribbler Gareth Dobson hacks away at the defences of Castle Wichita to reveal a set of rather contented innards, complete with tales of DFA1979 loss, guitar solos that never finished and why no-one got The Cribs for the first four years...»

It serves them right to suffer. While some of us sat scratching our arses from the comfort of our living rooms, occasionally pushing the red button to keep Jo Whiley at bay, some idiots actually went to Glastonbury. But we're not bitter. No. It would have been nice to have an invite, but that's all history now. Here, DiS’s Ben Patashnik, Joshua Cole and Georgina Terry attempt to fashion coherent narratives from their weekends of mud-soaked madness…»

This week, DiS is going to Iceland! No! Not to the frozen food haven for some over-sized breasts a la Kerry Katona (formerly of hit UK girl group Atomic Kitten), but to the frozen LAND haven quite a lot further north than Scotland for the quite fantastic Iceland Airwaves Festival that runs in Reykjavik from Wednesday to Sunday. See? We do leave the M25! We’re going on a plane so that things like grass and trees do not confuse us.»

Let the DiScussing begin! We’ve been racking brains – prior to pulverising each other’s – at the DiSopolis these past few weeks to come up with our top 66 albums of the past six years; the very best records to see the light of day during DiS’s lifetime (yes, six years). Arguments have been won and lost, a handful of frankly incredible artists have improbably missed the cut through forgetfulness and space constraints, and we’ve all got quite, quite drunk along the way...»
