Page 341 / 821 - PS News

In July 2006, Teletext's pop pages Ace closed. Until November of that year, 341 became the home of mainstream music news for acts including Justin Timberlake, Girls Aloud etc. However, when Teletext management imposed a 6-page limit on all sections (not just Planet Sound's pages), the two news pages became like the PS News of old, concentrating mainly on indie/rock stories. The pages update daily.

Page 342 / 822 - PS News & Tours

This page deals with all the daily music news from all sources.
As with 341/821, each page has a headline referring to the first article on the page. (There are 1-3 articles per page). As well as rounding up tour information and announcing artists' new singles/albums, PS News is often used to trail interviews with artist quotes. News stories from other sources are generally credited. It features stories on both new and established acts. Since November 2006, this became the home for all stories on artists announcing tours, though it generally has other non-tour stories here on non-mainstream acts also.

Page 343 / 823 - Single reviews

Known as Launchpad, this is where singles are reviewed each week. The pages change on Thursday and Monday. The Thursday single reviews are for the more mainstream singles out the following week. Monday's reviews focus on new and esoteric acts' singles.

Page 344 / 824 - Album/gig reviews

This is where albums and gigs are reviewed. These are updated daily, with the main album reviews repeated at weekends. Albums are reviewed from Wednesday to Tuesday, so that next week's biggest albums are reviewed on Wednesday.

Rating system

Planet Sound rates albums, singles, demos and live performances out of 10. Usually this can be explained as such:

Live reviews

Live acts have rarely received 10/10.

The first 10/10 rating was awarded for a Hope of the States gig at Camden Verge in 2003. Hope of the States were an English Post rock -influenced indie band from Chichester. Other gigs to receive 10/10 since are:

The Polyphonic Spree can claim the greatest credit - 24/10 - referring to the number of people in the band for a gig at London's church venue Union Chapel in 2002. The Polyphonic Spree is a self-described " choral symphonic rock " group from the Dallas Texas area

The lowest ever mark for a gig was awarded to London-based indie band Rocket for their gig at Hoxton Bar & Grill in 2006, who not only received 0/10, but were specifically identified as the worst live band Planet Sound had ever seen.

Page 345 / 825 - Mainstream feature

While Planet Sound traditionally always ran exclusive interviews with musicians, this mainstream feature - launched like page 341 in July 2006 after Ace's closure - includes general background articles on populist acts such as Justin Timberlake and Madonna as well as background features on topics such as Glastonbury. Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31 1981 He has English ancestry although he has also claimed some American Indian ancestry probably through unconfirmed Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie (born August 16 1958 known as Madonna, is an American Glastonbury is a small town in Somerset, England, situated at a Dry point on the Somerset Levels, south of Bristol. It often carries exclusive interviews with mainstream acts too.

This segment is usually eight pages long, with the last two pages for ads and contact information.
Usually, one page is a Top Ten list. This can be as diverse from Top Ten Imaginary Metalcore Bands to Top Ten Songs Of This Month.

In mid 2002, when Leeds-based band The Music were coming into the scene, a Voider wrote saying they were a Stone Roses karaoke band. Leeds ( is located on the River Aire in West Yorkshire, England The Music are an Alternative rock band from Kippax, Leeds, comprised of Robert Harvey (vocals guitar Adam Nutter (lead guitar Stuart Coleman (bass The Stone Roses were an English Alternative rock band formed in Manchester in 1984 The Music's singer Robert Harvey saw the letter, and wrote to Planet Sound. His letter was printed, with Robert offering the Voider free tickets to any of their gigs so he could say his views to the band's faces.
In March 2006 Paul Heaton of The Beautiful South wrote in to mention "Why do bands go on about Myspace, when they can promote themselves here for free? Buy our Album!" The reply from the writing team said "Damn. Paul David Heaton (born 9 May 1962 is an English Singer-songwriter. The Beautiful South were an English Pop group formed at the end of the 1980s by former members of Hull group The Housemartins - Paul Heaton We forgot to ask for a bribe. "

In March 2007, Heaton was revealed on The Void to be have been the cause of Simply Red getting an 8/10 album review. Simply Red is an English pop band Their style draws influences from pop, rock, jazz, Lovers rock, and Blue-eyed soul Earls wrote an apparently sincere review of their album Stay but, after a letter asking him if he'd gone deaf, Earls replied he'd only written the review after losing a game of bowling to Heaton.

Other musicians to have written in include Stuart Murdoch of Belle & Sebastian, Ian McCulloch of Echo & The Bunnymen and Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai, who corrected one Voider's assertions that said band ran a Glasgow metal night purely as an exercise in irony. Belle and Sebastian are an Indie pop band formed in Glasgow, Scotland in January 1996 Echo & the Bunnymen are an English Post-punk group formed in Liverpool in 1978 Mogwai are a Scottish rock group from Glasgow, Scotland. Formed by Stuart Braithwaite and Dominic Aitchison in 1995 Glasgow (ˈglæzgoʊ is the largest city in Scotland and third most populous in the United Kingdom At the height of their fame, Travis singer Fran Healy told Planet Sound that his Aunt Babs read PS, leading her to write in regularly for several months. Travis are a Scottish Alternative rock band from Glasgow, comprising Fran Healy ( lead vocals, Guitar, Piano,

On 19 August 2006, Simon Ratcliffe from Basement Jaxx wrote in to say hello to his grandad, who tells the band about any time they are mentioned on Teletext. Basement Jaxx are a critically acclaimed UK House duo comprising Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe that rose to popularity in the late 1990s The letter also mentions that if there was a Basement Jaxx Radio station, Simon's grandad would be the first to DJ, despite being 93.

In December 2007, Maximo Park singer Paul Smith wrote to praise the blues musician Jandek as part of a debate on "What is the world's heaviest music?", initially inspired by a Voider's letter about Sunn O))). Maxïmo Park (sometimes spelled Maximo Park) are an English Post-punk revival band signed to Warp Records, who formed in 2000 Sunn O (pronounced simply sun) is an American Drone metal band in its broadest sense however it incorporates elements of the Dark ambient, Black

Peter Pinsent

One Voider, Peter Pinsent, gained cult notoriety with his constant letters praising the merits of Geri Halliwell and is considered by some to be a huge bore. Geraldine Estelle "Geri" Halliwell (born 6 August 1972 is an English pop Singer-songwriter, Children's author, Actress Each letter would praise her as being a million times better than any band recently discussed. On one occasion, all the pages in The Void were by Pinsent.
He was quiet throughout 2006, which left fellow Voiders to theorize that Geri's pregnancy was the reason for this. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. However, in January 2007, Pinsent returned to The Void with a letter heavily criticising Kylie Minogue. Kylie Ann Minogue, OBE, born 28 May 1968 is an Australian pop Singer - Songwriter and occasional Actress. A second letter the following week explained that he had been absent from The Void because he had been looking after his terminally-ill father.

Since his return, Pinsent has regularly had letters screened, with Halliwell inevitably dominating his missives.
Some say Pinsent is actually Geri Halliwell herself, writing in under an alias to get her back in the public eye. This is without foundation - a letter by then-regular Voider Tony Satan in 2004 revealed that Pinsent was a former bodybuilding champion from his native Pinner, Middx.
One reader parodied Pinsent under the anagram alias Pennie T Spert, which many readers assumed was a pseudonym of Pinsent.
Many of the people who write into The Void become regulars, such as Rebecca Nahid, Tony Satan, Tyler Durden, Mark de Sade, Big Fat Flying Bloke, DJ Rhimes, DJ Gordy, Fluffy the Evil One, Baby Firefly, Simon Ellis, Brian The New Rave Snail, Tracey Bousfield, Kirkland Ciccone, The Doc and Bradders.

End of year polls

Planet Sound runs a Top 50 for the best singles and albums each year, as decided by John Earls and - until he left Teletext in 2005 - its then-editor, Colin Irwin. Planet Sound has a policy of only including one release per artist per year, so that anyone with a mention in Top 50 singles of the year won't be included in that year's Top 50 albums, and vice versa.
