Jon Allen's debut single Dead Man's Suit might be worth checking out when it comes out on February 2. On Happy Now, his voice goes from a Leonard Cohen/ Bob Dylan feel in the verses, to attacking like Noddy Holder in the chorus. Andy McGarvey

I agree with Mark that Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective is stunning. It's like every important sound of the last 40 years, compressed into 55 minutes. Bliss. Chas&Morph

Tony's dismissal of the stooges was ignorant beyond belief. What does having a hit have to do with being good or bad? I shudder to think of the delights he's been missing out on by dismissing bands who don't chart. Listen to fun house and tell me the stooges were poor.

raw power is my favourite and they owe a debt to there, but their previous work stands up as truly new and exciting. Shiny McShine

Worrisome

I am so worried about what I will bring to the metaphorical Zine party. For, while some Ziners bring funny and intelligent stories, or fabby mix CDs, or Tizer, I'm scared that I will only ever bring skanky sausage rolls that taste like tony blair's pants. And they just get thrown in the bin. I hope I will bring better things than that.

Blossom Black Shadow

Last but not least, BBS. But how do you know what tony's pants taste like?

As Earls is on the Brits voting panel, can he explain why AC/DC were nominated in the international group/ album categories, when four of the five members are British-born? If Antony Hegarty and Mark Ronson are British enough to win British prizes, surely so are the Young brothers. Dodrade

Earls: Sorry, no idea on how the internationality is decided. An even bigger surprise was that big Aussies Pendulum were in the UK longlist.

Void: Our money is on David Johansen to advertise Maximuscle.

I knew Glasvegas when they supported Dirty Pretty Things, and they were a lot better back then. They played retro doo-wop rock & roll, which is a far sight better than all this feedback. It ruined Go Square Go, which used to be fantastic. Liam Greenshaw

What's in a name?

There's something that's been bothering me for a while now. And to be honest, I'm surprised One Winged Angel hasn't mentioned it (she's just too nice, I guess). But now I feel the need to say: Haryuu No Hanekata, if you have in fact chosen to name yourself after the Latin for One Winged Angel, you do realise it is "Hanehata"! There, glad that's off my chest.

Klimmy does Endemol

To boost its ratings, ITV needs a new, fun-filled gameshow. My idea? A sort of, but not really, cross between Bullseye and Big Break. TV personality Keith Chegwin would present, whilst the final round would be called "Beat The Metric System". I imagine acrobats will also be involved on some level. A friend of mine appeared on Fun House. True story.

The reason Oasis weren't nominated for any Brits is that they had their time 14 years ago. They're now at the stage where they win lifetime achievement awards. It's the youngsters' turn now.

I think a lifetime prize is something to be proud of, rather than stating "We don't win proper awards any more, so s*** like this will have to do," as Noel Gallagher did when they picked up their Outstanding Prize in 2007. Indiegirl

I'd like to give belated praise to Dear Science by TV On The Radio. I hear Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire in there, and they have a great knack of sounding different from song to song. As for guilty pleasures, does Schmilsson by Nilsson count, or did Tarantino's backing render it cool? Brian Hamill

Halloween lanterns

I was arguing with Jerry Springer about whether pumpkins or turnips make the best Halloween lanterns, and he told me to "Talk to the hand". I thought to myself: "Talk to the hand? What a strange request." but, figuring it was some weird American custom, I grabbed his hand and started explaining to it the wonders of the turnip. He punched me in the mouth.

You're lucky he didn't say "Give me a hand," or "Lend me your ear".

To answer Paul's question about Alain Whyte, he's still very much involved in Morrissey's music- he co-wrote his songs on his new album Years of Refusal and I think they're the best ones. Whether or not he'll be back playing with Moz is another question, but he's superior to Jesse Tobias, as he's more innovative. Ian Tivendale

Although my name's not LR, it is actually Flabbergasted Baby Face, but seeing as I forgot to write my name at the end of the last e-mail, WLW decided to rename me, thus I will now be known as LR!

What a celebration of mediocrity the PS' readers' poll results were. It made me realise 2008 was a very poor year for music. Kings of Leon were dull, and the fact they were so lauded amazes me. Elbow have always been brilliant but, if 2008 had been a better year, I suspect they would have remained a hidden gem.

I hope that 2009 is more exciting. It really shouldn't be too hard to beat. Sean O'Neill

Even a casual glance at my record collection shows a distinct Earls influence. That doesn't stop me being baffled by his championing Franz Ferdinand and giving Ulysses 8/10. To me, it sounds like their usual lumpy music and clunky lyrics that they've always peddled.
