DiS Radio Returns! Q1 2011 Report by Sean Adams & Mike Diver

After an absence of several years, the "award-winning" DiS Radio is back!

In case you missed the mention on the boards this weekend and don't subscribe to our Mixcloud then you might have missed the return of DiS Radio. Some of you may remember the show from a few years back, before various 'official' music industry bodies introduced a royalty rate which prohibited us from continuing doing the podcast, without bankrupting ourselves.

Last week, Sean Adams (that's me) and former DiS editor, and now BBC Reviews editor, Mike Diver, sat down and recorded a first quarter report, summing up our favourite releases and the highlights of the year so far. And via the magic of Mixcloud, you can stream the "radio" show here:

Tracklisting
Mogwai 'San Pedro'
Tim Hecker 'Hatred Of Music 1'
How To Dress Well 'Ready For The World'
Ghostpoet 'Run Run Run'
Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie Xx 'Ny Is Killing Me'
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead 'Summer Of Dead Souls'
Bright Eyes 'Beginner’s Mind'
Cut Copy 'Blink And You'll Miss A Revolution'
Smith Westerns 'Dance Away'
Katy B 'Broken Record'
Diddy '"Hello Good Morning"'
Gang Gang Dance 'Glass Jar'
Austra 'Beat & The Pulse'
Julianna Barwick 'Magic Place'

DiScuss: Is it a major issue for you that this is streaming and not downloable like wot it used to be? Any thoughts? Too much talking? Not enough music? Too long? Better left dead and buried? More of this sort of thing?

Streamed is better than downloaded by my book

This is the kind of thing I'll listen to once and enjoy - I don't want the hassle of having to download it really.

Sean, you're very well spoken...

and a big fat "more of this sort of thing" from me, please. agreed with WLWC above, streaming is probably my preferred method of podcast as well.

Surprised Sean didn't bleep out the bit

where Diver (correctly) said that Hurley is rubbish.

I felt in some other faults. Errors making it more human ;-)

I can listen to the streamed version in work without the warning that im breaking all the internet rules

I also thoroughly enjoyed the Jessie J rant - if her record wasnt bad enough already, im being forced to listen to it whenever I walk into Asda
