Point of The Matter

The angel you know and loved is no more, she has gone into retirement.

Of course, I'm talking about the angel that sits on top of the Christmas tree! In a way, I'm glad Mother decided to throw her out. But wait, what's this, Mother? You're getting a star for the tree this year? But where will I sit? I thought I was in line for the tree! Why must thou forsake me?

One Winged Angel

Look on the bright side- no more splinters.

It's excellent news that pj harvey and John Parish have a new album out in May. My hopes for the year are fairly predictable- new albums from Teenage Fanclub, Sparklehorse and Lemonheads. Also, he's done some sterling collaborative work recently, but a new solo album by Mark Lanegan would be sweetly McSweet. The Doc

I hope Morrissey's new album is a rebirth after the inert Ringleader. I'm hoping for Mozean freshness. Rob Hunt

Why was Ian Brown in Chumps of The Week for his Brits nominations? His last album The Word Is Yours was fantastic, and its single Illegal Attacks was great, even though it was too controversial to get radio play. It just needed a few brave people to give it a chance. Brown's nomination is deserved, when you see what he's up against. Kev Bird

Earls: Illegal Attacks is great, and was in our Top 10 Singles of 2007.

Strange world

I've been told that modern jets can fly themselves and that instead of three in the cockpit, they require only a pilot and a trained monkey with a gun. The pilot is to assure the passengers and the monkey is to shoot him if he goes near the controls. Maybe so, but all my applications to become a pilot have been rejected, derided and mocked.

Grey Owl's Vagabond Cousin

I've trained Marcel to do the same, should Mabel or Cedric ever attempt to go near the Zine controls.

The Script are so bland, and so over-played on radio too. Motown Girl

For a concept album, get Captain Beyond's debut. That said, Rush's 2112 could also be considered a concept album, as it was inspired by Ayn Rand's book Antham. Tony Christou

Barking up the wrong tree

So there I was, pursuing Teletext pages!... when a thought struck me. Although I use the name Frumpy Squirrel, I'm not an actual squirrel and know that I never will be (much to my dismay). How many other Ziners aren't what their names say they are? Is darklord an actual lord with the light off? Is The Barking Tree a slightly insane elm?

Frumpy Squirrel

Anyone paying attention knows Barking Tree is oak, not elm. The slightly insane part is, however, accurate.

I accidentally sat in chewing gum today. Ruined my favourite pair of jeans. They weren't best pleased, and told me that if I didn't get them as good as new, they would set the trouser mafia after me. And you don't want the trouser mafia after you.

I recently saw Franz Ferdinand's second album on sale in my local Poundland. I paid £10 for it when it came out. Typical. Speaking of which, The Credit Crunch is my favourite YouTube discovery. It should have got into the chart, but probably didn't as no one was willing to pay for it. Dionne Jones

I enjoyed the Top 10 special day on The Void, especially the list of albums
a Voider discovered in 2008. I agree that the set from Hamburg is astonishing. It seems a more relevant measure of how good an album is than which calendar year it came out in. But it felt a little undressed without one of Sleepy Sealion's perfectly formed masterpieces. Kevin Lee

I agree with Shane that his birth year, 1984, was great for albums, but he should also check Steeltown by Big Country that year. It's got a guitar sound I've not heard since, and Richard Branson is a fan, judging from how the sleeve is in the new Virgin Atlantic advert. Kevin O'Neill

Curb this nonsense

All this talk of politics has made me want to campaign against something. Kerbs, to be specific. Last year, more people died in kerb-related incidents than I had hot dinners. FACT. Come to think of it, if I lived in the Middle East; which, obviously I don't, I could form a pressure group called "Kurds Against Kerbs". Or, alternatively, "KAK".

You might say this campaign is a load of KAK, so to speak.

The parental advisory debate reminds me of when I heard The Strokes' 12.51 on the radio during the day. I was surprised to hear them play the f-word uncensored, and I don't recall the First Impressions album having a parental advisory sticker.

As for best year for albums, I say 2004. The Open, Keane, Franz, Ordinary Boys, The Streets, Razorlight. Sadly, most of those have split or not lived up to expectations since. Ted Robinson
