DiS in digest: our pick of the week's news
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver April 20th, 2007

What a week it has been! Sunny days, not-so-warm nights – it’s almost like the summer… only, like, proof of our impending destruction at the merciless hands of global warming.

Or do we have to write it ‘nu rave’? Whatever…

Popworld Pulp cursed by its own title!
Nothing really needs to be added here. Nope.

Rein in Zane? Xfm have!
Him off Popworld is to present the Xfm breakfast show in London… good thing my clock-radio’s fucked…
