Our columnists round up the best in their field
A temporal burp uploads a historical research dossier from the far future into The Quietus’ content management system.

Do you like to soften your nihilism with hard-boogie geetar? Is queer tech-grind your go-to antidote for global socio-political meltdown? Do you rail against the mindless barbarism of austerity with help from mind-walloping noisepunk? Then this, dear friend, is the end-of-year list for you
