The Crows

They are out to get me, I know it, see them everywhere. When I get up in the mornings and look out my window, they're there. On the way to work, they're there. And when I get to work they are here too.

What do they want? Maybe they want to be my friend, maybe they want to eat me, maybe they want the loaf of bread I attach to my coat so that old people won't talk to me. Who knows?

YeahYeahYeah

Did you not consider these hazards when you joined the crow sanctuary?

What do Voiders make of someone who spends a lot of their money on gig tickets, but then can't afford to buy the CD and downloads illegally instead? They're still supporting bands in some form. It's not always black and white. Baby Grumpling

I recently illegally downloaded some Limp Bizkit songs, then bought their Greatest Hits album for £5 from my local Asda. Does this make me doubly wrong? Stardog

My heart bleeds when I think of all your poor little mites who resolve your "poverty " by downloading music from an expensive computer onto prissy software. Boo hoo. Attilathehood

First, Steve Nicks says most bands are obscenely rich, then he claims 99% of illegal downloads are from skint kids. Make your mind up and stop pulling "facts" from the air. As for Tyler, if he wanted the VAC album so much, he paid the £40 for it. NPW

I have a new love: Southern blues metal. I was already a fan of Down and Corrosion of Conformity, and now listen to Blackstone Cherry, Clutch and Jerry Cantrell. Heavier metal is a bit stale right now, indie needs a bushfire to ravage the weeds, but whisky-soaked grooves with a dash of wah-wah are perfect for the sunshine. Scary Guy

I'm tired of pop and R & B fans moaning when they can buy albums for £5- £10. Us alt-fans have to pay £15 £20. Otsego

Box Clever

I am intrigued by the phrase: "mad as a box". I've met many boxes in my time, but I've never met one that was mad.

Well, actually there was this one box that was gibbering away and could be mistaken for mad, but he was on medication at the time. So...

Mad boxes, anyone?

I admit I download illegally, but only Japanese artists who HMV charge £40 to order and I can't find anywhere else. I wouldn't have got into Phantasmagoria, Dir En Grey, Gackt or Lareine if it wasn't for downloads. As soon as DEG's The Marrow of A Bone was released here I bought it, and I'd do the same for others if British music stores weren't so close-minded. One Winged Angel

Brian Higgins of Xenomania has said he's fed up of being told he's the one who does all the hard work on Girls Aloud's music, and states they're "my muses". New Rave Snail

Simon Fuller didn't manage Eurythmics at their '80s peak and Pinsent can't say they weren't successful. They're Britain's most successful duo and are still in the music business. No Spice Girl will last 25 years, and none of their voices match Annie. Paul Connelly

Dark Knight is the best

My film of the year is The Dark Knight. It may be the popular choice but that doesn't mean it shall be denied my vote (and the way I see it, if Javier Bardem can win an Academy Award for his role in Anton Chigurh in the sublime No Country For Old Men then Heath Ledger's Joker should be awarded on default!).

My current favourite foreign film? Downfall, easily. And The Mist, one of the unsung mainstream delights of 2008. I loved it! Steve Martin

Re HS, Kettering. A flawed but fun sci-fi action film in 1995's Virtuosity with pre-Oscar Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. My favourite of this decade is Korea's Natural City, which blends breathtaking action and emotional in a Blade Runner-esque sci-fi world. Damien, Birmingham

Rich A, be careful of supporting widespread denunciation of offensive lyrics. This risks putting music into a lyrical cul-de-sac.

Cannibal is a top film

I agree with Anon that killing animals for their meat is just as violent as killing them for a movie. I also disagree with reviewer Victor Olliver giving Cannibal Holocaust 1/5. Aaron, Yorks

comic critic

I'd totally forgotten about Look Around You, series one, with the periodic element symbol for music (Mu) and the experiment that made the man go into a state where he was permanently just about to sneeze- that was great. But I just don't get the new series.

Dare To Believe has "borrowed" the explosions from Monty Python- there is a lack of random explosions in comedy these days, not to mention otters.

The Spontaneously Combusting Penguin

And the symbol for giraffe is JAF. Love it.

I won't see Cannibal

Re: Anon's pro-veggie rant which had nowt to do with films. If animals weren't farmed for meat, what would the farmers do with all animals? They don't keep them for fun. But as a meat-eating animal lover, I don't like to see cruelty in any fims so I won't be seeing Cannibal Holocaust. Gem, Wrexham

Vortex: This was my point. It is plain aniimals were cruelly treated on the movie. For a while Holocaust was also regarded as a snuff movie. (VO)
