Ask DiS: The Friday inbox
crablin by Colin Roberts February 3rd, 2006

It's Friday and the end of the working week appears to be rolling in, so whilst you all switch off Excel and turn to DiS to carry you through the last few hours before binge drinking and smoking crack for the weekend, we open our Inbox for a new weekly feature.

Send your letters to us by clicking here.

This week, edited by Colin Roberts.

Dear DiS,
I couldn't help but notice that you have something of a penchant for slightly sarcastic and occasionally offensive news coverage. Whilst this may be humorous in some cases, I'm a little sick of reading Mike Diver's anecdotes and Colin Roberts' side comments. I think I speak for everyone that reads Drowned in Sound when I ask you to just give us the facts, with no comments about anything but music. You're not comedians, generally, you're idiots.

Hi Anonymous. I appreciate your concerns regarding our news coverage. I do, however, believe that our approach not only presents the facts, but entertains to an extent too. What's better than learning and laughing at the same time? I'd also like to point out that Mike Diver is certainly NOT an idiot.

Dear DiS,
i jus came to yr fkn webshite (yeah, fkn shite lol) n i red yor rev of da new fall out by singel. i jus wanna say yor a bunch of stupid wankers and i hope yr webshite fails bbadly. bye.

Greetings emo_punk. I'm sad to hear that you feel our review of the new Fall Out Boy single was not satisfactory. I do, however, agree with the review and have decided that writing anymore towards this reply would give it more press than it actually deserves. Thanks for checking out DiS!

Dear DiS,
Thanks for running a great website, I really enjoy reading the news and reviews, you guys are doing a great job! All the best x
