Seeing as our previous Spotify playlists have done down so well we thought we'd make this a new weekly feature. Essentially this is a mixtape-like companion, featuring songs from records we've reviewed, bands in the news, people we've spoken to and stuff being talked about on the boards. Plus a, ahem, topical picture from Google image search.

Spotifriday No. 1

Squarepusher 'Fluxgate'

A teasing opening track... Read Adam Anonymous's chat with Tom Jenkinson here. Read Luke Slater's live review of the Ether festival show, with support from BLK JKS here.

múm 'Guilty Rocks'

We love these Icelanders. They're playing in London at the Tabernacle on July 13th. Details and yays in this thread. Also Mr Lukowski went to unpronounceable festival in a far-flung corner of Iceland and reviewed various Icelandic bands, including them here.

The Horrors 'Scarlet Fields'

Charles Ubaghs gave their new record Primary Colours an amazing 9/10 review here. And this week we put up a stream of it here, then you all talked about it on the boards here

Sonic Youth 'Unmade Bed'

OMG they played the Scala on Monday. DiS didn't get tickets so don't be holding your breath for a reviews. Lots of you went and talked about it in this thread

Banjo Or Freakout 'Someone Great (LCD Soundsystem Cover)'

Whilst you're down there in the echo chamber, this swirly-fuzzy noizemaker played with HEALTH, which Dom Gourlay reviewed here. Also this week, Banjo made a mixtape for former DiS editor Mike Diver over on Clashmusic.com.

Mew 'Am I Wry? No'

These music-loved epic Scandinavians are rumoured (thread here) to be joining the Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction tour and confirmed to played Latitude (news)

Depeche Mode 'In Sympathy'

Their new album Sounds of the Universe is everywhere. Mr Lukowski reviewed it here. Plus Adam Anonymous interviewed the guy who runs a Depeche Mode theme bar in, er, Estonia here

Metric 'Gold Guns Girls'

Hopefully it didn't pass you by that it's METRIC WEEK on DiS this week. We love them and this is your humble editor's favourite track from their forthcoming album Fantasies. You can find all our Metric week content here.

Peaches 'Talk To Me'

If Peaches didn't exist Gwen Stefani would not wear hot pants and the media/world would not get Lady Gaga. Shame her new album isn't much cop, according to Alexander Tudor's review, which features the word "mangina" here.

Girls Aloud 'Untouchable'

It's out this week. It has the line "...like beautiful robots dancing alone." It was reviewed by the lovely Wendy Roby in the Singles round-up here. It's nearly seven minutes long!

Metric 'Collect Call'

Did we mention it was Metric week this week? Content here

Regina Spektor 'Us'

Ah, a noughties classic. Regina has a new album called Far due soon (news). This week she was confirmed to play the Serpentine Sessions in Hyde Park this summer - other headliners include Bon Iver and Tindersticks. Details here.

Tiny Masters Of Today 'Skeletons'

Fun young 'uns. Pictures in our new In Photos galleries by Lucy Johnston here.

Mugison 'Murr Murr'

The founder and host of the aforementioned Icelandic festival, which Mr Lukowski reviewed here

The Mars Volta 'Drunkship of Lanterns'

With their new album in the offing, they were confirmed for Somerset House this summer (news)

PJ Harvey & John Parish 'The Chair'

Read our review of the Parish & Peej 'homecoming' show in Bristol here.

Jarvis Cocker 'Angela'

The Pulp man is back. There's been talk about his new album not being quite so good on the boards but this is a bit of a swerve ball comeback single. DiS likes the Super Furries-ish cut of his arc.

Morrissey 'Something Is Squeezing My Skull'

Keepings things elder statesmanly is Morrissey. The single was also in the singles round-up here. Also Mr Lukowski reviewed the re-issues of Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted here.

Metric 'Stadium Love'

This two-by-two anthem ends the forthcoming album Fantasies. If you haven't already, click here for Metric week.

Deftones 'Pink Cellphone'

NSFW! They're playing London around the time of Reading festival according to this thread. Anyone know what Giant Drag are up to?
