This Week's Singles: 24/05/10
This week: a plea for more nice things [NO REALLY], whether it is worth being the sixth man on the moon and a mahoosive dose of Good Ache. Also: Giving Up On Going Out With People, But Not Getting All Boo-Hoo About It. Some good advice there. »
Great Escape 2010 - The DiS Review
Rather than try to "review" all 300+ bands who played The Great Escape in Brighton last weekend, we decided to focus on the best bits. »
Spotifriday #42 - This Week on DiS as a playlist
The fourty-second Spotify playlist is a little like the fourty-second President of the USA in that it's a bit of a dark horse. And is quite long. It features Rolo Tomassi, Rusko, Blood Red Shoes, HEALTH, Dark Dark Dark, Summer Camp and an awful lot more. That Rusko track absolutely demands your attention, though. »
DiS meets The Ruby Suns

It features the BEST sounds from this week's Singles, News, Reviews, and even a couple of tracks, as per usual, from the ever brilliant and increasingly popular armchair dancefloor column.»
This Week's Singles: 01/03/10
This week: a lady what can kill a man with her bare thighs, a delightful videothing from OK GO and, and, and, and, and, and, and, right, AND, the Single of the Week is free to download. I am too good to you. »
Spotifriday #29 - This Week on DiS as a playlist
Normal service resumed this week, and what a bunch of albums, singles and news stories we've had to hand-pick this playlist from. No fewer than TWO 9/10 albums, a couple of 8s and a Suede re-union. That's not mentioning the two Singles of the Week, by Yeasayer and These New Puritans. Brill.»
