This Week's Singles 11.02.13: Darwin Deez, Tempest Storm, Charli XCX, The Cribs

In Depth by Wendy Roby

Single of the Week! Darwin Deez - ‘Free (The Editorial Me)’ (Lucky Number) Ludicrously-curly tunesmith Darwin Deez has a knack, and it is almost aggravating to hear him manipulating us again, with his bloody melodies and his wretched happines»

This Week's Singles: 09/07/12 Big Black Delta, Deco Child, Meursault, The 2 Bears

In Depth by Wendy Roby

The Cribs' 80s mixtape

In Depth by Cate Blanche

We asked the twins from The Cribs to make a mixtape for us and set the theme: The Year You Were Born. The year was 1980 and it was a time of great upheaval, as the tectonic plates of DIY punk culture began to grind against the upper echelons of the mainstream. It was a time of great music, and bad hair. Not that any of these things are reasons why we set this mixtape theme for The Cribs, but they ran with it all the same... »

This Week's Singles: 31/08/2009

In Depth by Wendy Roby

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. »

Glastonbury '07: three DiSsers, some booze and hella mud...

In Depth by A bunch of drunk DiS writers

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.»

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...»
