White Hinterland's favourite recipes #1
Following the unanticipated success of the Grizzly Bear 'Gumbo' recipe last year on DiS, we toyed with the idea of a regular indie-rock in the kitchen section on DiS. Yet, you soon discover that many musicians idea of a culinary delight is adding brown sauce to a Ginster's pastie that was accidently cooked in the glovebox by a faulty van heater.

Bands, they come and go, but when you choose a football team, that's a life sentence. I asked some friends to share their misery with me. »

Neil Los Campesinos! on Shape Records
I imagine the majority of us are fans of the ‘DIY’ label (if not, you may as well stop reading now). A DIY label is even more exciting if someone you know is running it. Those of you who live in London probably know a million people running labels. There are a bunch of people in Cardiff who are doing the DIY thing. But not only are they doing it, they’re doing it well. »
Ollie Los Campesinos! - A City Guide to Cardiff

Now with a major redevelopment in the centre the city is becoming the Capitol city that Wales deserves. In this guide I’ll show where to eat, drink, shop and enjoy what the city has to offer."»
