August came and went so quickly that we at DiS can’t be entirely sure it wasn’t some weird, lucid dream. After all, we're pretty sure Romanian discus throwers aren’t supposed to congregate outside our bus stop, fairly certain that our television doesn’t usually flicker with images of Actual Talented People, and resolutely convinced we shouldn’t have spent the week or two since the Olympics mourning what was essentially an elongated school sports day presided over by the who’s who of bastard conglomerates. But such was the sheer cynicism-crumbling excellence of London 2012 that, well, if you saw DiS stumbling around Stratford at 5am following the Closing Ceremony, a clutch of Mandeville plush toys pressed to our chest, the blue and white of our Team GB face paint smudged from tears, strumming a morose version of Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone on a battered acoustic guitar to a billboard of Jessica Ennis, uh, thanks for not stealing our wallets.»

You may remember that a little while back - before DiS HQ was hijacked by festivals and legal threats from bands whose spamming backfired - we made you a 120-minutes-inspired YouTube playlist to mark the launch of http://youtube.com/drownedinsound. If you missed the first one, it can be found here. You lot seemed to "like" it, at least in a Facebook nod of approval kind of way, so we thought we'd make another one, of oldies and newies that we love.»

Last week an e-mail/press release was sent round the world telling us that Tom Waits was going to set the record straight. Obviously everyone thought this was going to be a new album, and so it turns out it's absolutely correct. Mr Waits' new full-length is called Bad Me and will be released through Anti- Records on October 24. »
