DiS has spent some time exploring Instagram in search of musicians to follow (you can follow me as @seaninsound here and @DrownedinPhotos if you so wish. We also just signed up as @DrownedinSound, we'll use it a bit, but it's mostly so no-one pretends to be us), and seeing as last week Instagram launched web profiles, here are a 10 accounts we recommend and 40 more musicians/bands we think you may want to follow:»
Whilst one big site-defining list with somewhat arbitrary positionings, full of compromises and a whiff of fair-play politics is all well and good, the far more fascinating thing is the ONE album people believe stands on a column, far above all others. Over the past 10 years, this has usually been pretty much the same four or five albums topping people's list, making the job of picking the top five albums of the year, somewhat easier. Not in tweeny-ten, oh no. This year, as you'll see below, has been the least lacking in consensus since records began (ok, as we're sure you know as we keep banging on about it, it was only 10 years ago we launched, so this clearly isn't the most scientific of research!). »

It's time for another edition of the content-mangled-into-the-form-of-a-playlist that we amusingly dubbed 'Spotifriday'. We hope you enjoy it. 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.»

Following the unanticipated success of the Grizzly Bear 'Gumbo' recipe last year on DiS, we toyed with the idea of a regular indie-rock in the kitchen section on DiS. Yet, you soon discover that many musicians idea of a culinary delight is adding brown sauce to a Ginster's pastie that was accidently cooked in the glovebox by a faulty van heater. Of course there have been exceptions (Harriet from Los Campesinos! in particular) but then we saw White Hinterland's twitter, with Casey Dienel offering up daily recipes, so we thought, in the run-up to their new record Kairos, rather than just review and give away some tracks to showcase their snow-capped electronica (think Ladytron and Broadcast with a dose of Lykke Li and JJ stirred in), we'd, er, make them sing for their supper; or rather give you some ideas of what you can eat for yours... »
