ATP New York 2009: the DiS review
It’s perpetually 1972 at Kutsher’s Country Club, the utterly perfect location for the New York incarnation of ATP. The event may attract several generations of indie rock fan, but for the people who run the resort this is no different to a local weddi»
Drowned in Saturday: Alright for Fighting? Dancing? At the movies?
Putting together this playlist we were taken aback by how many songs feature Saturday in the title and strangely, how many of them are pretty great. In fact, there are so many songs that had Saturday in the title that we didn't really bother (with a few exceptions) to find other things which sound-like or sum up this day of youthful exuberance, barbecues and birthday bashes. »
Close to P4K-tion: DiS does the Pitchfork Music Festival
While it'll probably be nigh on time for the Apocalypse before consensus has finally been reached on whether Pitchfork represents the apotheosis of music journalism or everything wrong with everything, there's no denying that Ryan Schreiber and cohorts st»
Rockness Festival - The DiS review
I've been hearing people talking up Rockness as better than T In The Park. One cursory look at the line-ups for both festivals will tell you this isn't true, at least in the quantity and sheer size of artists playing, but what Rockness can boast is an atmosphere to match TITP in scaled down format, with a greater emphasis on DJs and dance acts. The organiser's boast that it is 'the most beautiful festival in the world' is entirely vindicated by the picture postcard view of Loch Ness and the lush glen spreading out behind the main stage, with the weather mostly brilliant sunshine.»

The Weekly DiScussion: bad cover versions
Klaxons' appearance with Rihanna at this year's BRIT Awards could have gone either way, so in the spirit of things DiS gives the not-rave trio advice on how to negotiate the pop covers minefield. Cough The Manics cough»
Drugs. Music. Let's talk.
Music and drugs. They go together seamlessly, flawlessly and as happily as two intricately linked things. Gareth Dobson takes a fistful of mushrooms from Camden Market and mulls over whether rock n roll is seriously a lot better for all the crap that's been imbibed.»
Summercase 2007: the DiS review
DiS heads to Barcelona for the second time this year - following Primavera at the end of May - for Summercase. What we find: a drunk Lily Allen, a chilled-out Chemical Brothers, and some dodgy scotch...»
A Month In Records: July 2006
As July slides away into memory’s mists, one can’t help but feel that summer – so swiftly and brutally upon us though it was – is slipping through our fingers with all the fluidity of the Coke Zero that DiS has taken to consuming by the tanker-load. Really, why is it that Diet Coke by another name is so appealing? Is it because a guy advertises the stuff on the telly, or are black cans simply that cool? Answers on a postcard to some other address than ours – we really don’t have the time to read your nonsensical musings on the matter.»
A Month in Records: April 2006
