We've been shortlisted for one of the most important prizes in our digital domain. Help us, won't you?
We're lucky enough to have been shortlisted as one of the five best online music magazines in the country and we'd be super-grateful if you'd be so kind as to vote for our sorry asses.
We're up against the might of NME.COM, our good friends at Playlouder, the splendid Popjustice and the oft-ignored ilikemusic.
DiS is, of course, significantly better than all of those websites combined and as a result we'd love for you to click below and VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Gotta love the NME
when is it announced?
the electronic category is wack - Pete fucking Tong. i despair.
this cheered me up on the homepage: "Sandi Thom has signed up to play an exclusive set at the top of the BT Tower to launch the BT Digital Music Awards 2006."
anyone got nothing to live for? SORRY MOULDYCHERRYX.
Sandi Thom is bloody shit though
She makes my blood boil with rage.
So I will forgive you for that one :)
sorry
are you volunteering?
for what?
*bemused expression*
the aforementioned pushing of Thom
and courtcase thereafter.
ah ok
yes i hate her, but i do not wish her to die, just for her vocal cords to be ripped out so we never have to endure such utter gash as 'I wish I was a I CANT EVEN FINISH IT MAKES ME SO MAD!
you're HIRED
: DDDD
Woohooo!
Whats the pay guv'nor?
you need...pay?
for ending Sandi Thom's tierany?
i hardly know who you are.
ok, a 2 packs of tictacs
and a banana.
THAT'S MY FINAL OFFER :D
Well, i was thinking you could at least buy me an ice-cream or something
to thank me so we dont have to hear her next single 'I wish I was a Gothic with a sping in my step'
ok, an ice-cream, two packs of tictacs, a banana and
the capital P from my username.
i think that's the new Betty Curse single though. twoseys?
Your on Mr!
Can the icecream be chocolate flavour please? :)
it would be an honour : )
of course, vanilla it is! yes. lovely vanilla. hmmm hmmm. vanilla. milli vanilla ice. hmm.
NO!
*stamps foot in manner of petulant child* I WANT CHOCOLATE! Im the one getting my hands dirty with Thoms bloody vocal cords bitch!
get me a new keyboard
and i'll meet you half way for chocolate, a motorway cafe in Reading. a capital P has never made me laugh and spit so much in my life.
Sandi Thom's bloody vocal chords are like GOLD. SOLID gold! Ebay and the thanks of a nation will reimburse you suitably fo sho.
Glad you have been amused :)
a new keyboard? they cant be too expensive, Done!
Now all i need is a car to take me to that cafe....
i have : )
i have no idea how to get a car with guts and a pc keyboard though - i'm sure there's a cosmic link somewhere : D
a car with guts?!
environmentally friendly
unless the guts belong to a Greenpeace worker.
LIEK...
Sandi Thoms guts? Spread out all over the seats like a slimy, yet heartwarming cushion?
I Wish I Was A Fiat Panda With New Car Smell In The Air
?
heartwarming though? i don't want to sit on Sandi Thom, no 'fence o' nuffin'. you're weeeeeeeird.
I meant heart warming in the sense that
you sit on her squishy remains and sigh a sigh of relief and happiness knowing that your ears will never agin be inflicted to her STOOOPID music, ever again :D
...and then the radio is switched on
and Orson blast out and THE CIRCLE OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND MADNESS CONTINUES!
she's not podgy enough for a decent 'squish'. now KT Tunstall, there's some grade-A whoopy cushion material.
She isnt podgy!
*loses hope in ever not being fat*
Orson aren't THAT terrible, I'd have said pussycat dolls they make me want to die :(
oooh you're right!!
and we could suit out a people carrier with them.
well for one, podgy is the most attractive thing ANY girl can be in my opinion and secondly you're clearly not fat if your picture's to be believed. i'll stop being Dr. Phil now : p
well thanks :)
OMG yes, so we are going to gut all of the pussycat dolls and make car upholstery with them!....................................................are we terrible people?
i think the conversation may have lost DiS a few votes
'well i like their anti-Doherty stance, but their cannibal endorsement is making me queasy.'
i don't think you're that terrible; it occurred to me PSD would look like leather so i certainly am.
You truly are,
You DISGUST me.
thank you
just today i've publicly labelled the US government terrorists and promoted skinning...and now there's this annoying red dot on my shirt...hang on it's moving...wha...
Well the US government blatently ARE terrorists so that's ok.
how's the red dot progressing at this point chum? Does it look bad for you....?
i'll be honest
the ice cream looks unlikely. i'll try my best : )
Please pull through!
I don't think I can live without you!.....and that chocolate ice-cream.
Haha
My mind proper filled with a bit DOUBLE YOU TEE EFF when I saw that headline on the right then...
Oh and...
voted :)
Shameful.
This website is a poor excuse for a music site at best. You've got half-wit writers who try their hardest to incorporate their irrelevant opinions into news stories, with terrible puns and crap jokes.
News cannot be broadcast with bias. However, I suppose you relish being labelled 'unconventional'. Do you also relish being labelled 'childish', 'unprofessional' and 'awfully unfunny'?
This site impresses its community. Its 100 or so forum users. People browsing the internet look on this site and pass it off as yet another elitist blog.
The reviews are also, forgive me, piss-poor. They're either over-pretentious (see Howling Bells) or just uninformed and dreadfully written (see everything else).
You are popular for all the wrong reasons. This website is notorious for being full of ugly people with rubbish music tastes. Why should I vote for you?
I will be passing this link on, encouraging my friends to vote anything but Drowned in Sound.
No doubt a handful of pathetic vaginas will follow this post with immature insults. Firstly the children (millionaire, therapyrock etc.), then their role models - the sad adults.
Bye.
fuck off
and yet...
you still have managed to notch up 190 posts on the board in just under three weeks.
good work.
including
totally HILARIOUS ones saying 'who is best, board member A or B'
very clever.
fool
Bit mental there.
Why are you here then?
join us
change us.
or start your own site.
if i didn't like steak
i wouldn't go to a steakhouse. Let alone go to one, and then complain about them serving too much beef.
If you don't like it go elsewhere. magic.
I'm not saying I agree
But that's one serious piece of enjoyable bile you've just spewed forth there.
That's some impressive beef you have there.
My reviews are neither pretentious nor ill-informed though. So. You know. Get bent, etc.
indeed John !
Yours are pretentious and ill-informed at the same time...
Genius Lyle, genius :)
you can't be serious
...
Well said lovecat
You've said what everyone who passes through this site is thinking. The reviewers on here are a joke. They come out with the biggest load of ill-informed, slanderous and offensive comments they can think off, and this is all lapped up by the half wits who frequent this place. The reviews and articles here all sound like the rantings of a retarded 10 year old.
yeah but at least we dont try and wage
INTERNET WAR!!!
hahahahahah!
Omgz, the NME forum
iz so Crap!!!11! lol
etc....
yeah and you thick fucks fell for it
all you pathetic losers posting angry replies hahahaha
Wrighty?
One can only hope you really meant that "Bye" at the end there
Close the door on your way out, would you? Cheers.
As for me, voting is done. But I'm not quite sure why you'd *want* to win that - nothing in any of the other categories fills me with anything other than boredom :-s
Meh.
I don't see why i'm ever singled out
I'm not even slightly elitest. I suppose it's because i'm 16. Oh, it is.
Shannon Doherty next?
That's the second time my heart has stopped in the last two days
Yesterday it stopped when I saw the headline "Radiohead never to tour again". Only to be followed by the words "this year" on gigwise.com
My heart actually skipped a beat
for some reason. I don't even like him :-/
that's brilliant.
I'm trying to think of any reason why this was funny
And there aren't any.
Grow up, DiS. You can do much better than that.
it wasn't meant to be funny
It was meant to get peoples attention and I'd guess if it made you click on it, as you possibly would on a link which said FREE or SEX, then it has worked. Moreso than if we politely said DiS nominated for some award, look at us, ain't we great, please vote for us.
We just thought it was such a ridiculous idea about someone clearly living in a world of media extremes living a precarious lifestyle which puts him, as a role model and icon at the forefront of an impressional escapist generation, that no-one would find it offensive, or as offensive as the disgusting nature of british media.
I believe that most people would understand that this was just to cause a silly stir on the web especially in the land of RSS feeds and that and that it might make a few people smirk.
Take the thought of death and your disgust for what we do and put something positive into the world this weekend.
er
"We just thought it was such a ridiculous idea about someone clearly living in a world of media extremes living a precarious lifestyle which puts him, as a role model and icon at the forefront of an impressional escapist generation, that no-one would find it offensive, or as offensive as the disgusting nature of british media."
That's a long and confusing sentence. Please say that you didn't think about the lame joke THAT much!
I would have put 'Vote for DiS in BT Digital Music Awards' meself.
'Russian Madonna Gig Could Result in Deaths', now that's more like it.
Shocked
...to see DiS stoop this low.
People tend to forget drug addiction is an illness, and if any of us had taken a few wrong turns we could be in his state.
I'm not a Doherty fan, nor am a rightous politically correct type, but jesus - get over yourselves.
You were once the pinnicle of everything good about internet journalism (save for maybe pitchfork) but now you've demonstrated in one foul swoop everything bad about internet journalism. It's funny how easy it is to change opinions and wipe out several years good work.
Round of applause for DiS!
yeay!
round of applause!
lighten up!
not meaning to be a fascist
and not that it doesn't make your arguement any less strong...
but you've rated Thee Unstrung 10/10?!
deafness is also an illness and I'm sorry if this silly friday bit of titilation has offended you greatly. we'll go sit in our rooms for the weekend and attempt grow up a bit into nice normal conservative types.
Hahaha
Ouch - i dont actually like Thee Unstrung... i'm confused!
They had one catchy song a while back mind, but 10/10, i must have been pished!
this headline
was a total cockblock!
bah.
i will vote.
I also think this is pathetic journalism
not really annoyed about it I just think it's dumb. Moving on...
...
Not being funny yeah, but:
1) This is not journalism, it's an advert. People and concerns are allowed to advertise themselves. Complainers are mentally ill.
2) While it would be a bit out of order for an organisation like say, ITN to falsely report someone's death - this is not a news organisation, it's a music website. And this isn't a report, it's a link to an advert. Complainers are mentally ill.
3) The death of an annoying man who took drugs and made bad music would be hilarious. Complainers are mentally ill.
4) To Colin Roberts: You bastard. :)
5) Complainers are mentally ill.
End communication.
