Reminds me of the old "Each week Rage Against The Machine rage against a machine" thing Melody Maker used to do. :lol: :notworthy:

Slayed is a great record. Fact. :)
It reminds me of my teenage years.

Organisers of a Christmas number 1 protest against the X Factor have chosen to purchase a different song owned by the Sony Music Entertainment than the Joe McElderry track being released by Simon Cowell's bit of Sony Music Entertainment.

Thirded. For me this is like a choice between being disemboweled by some horrific medieval Chinese device, and being dangled over a pit of starving piranhas. Decisions, decisions...

would this pit of starving piranhas have water in it?

Rock and roll is alive and kicking somewhere, presumably, just not on the Auntie's airwaves.

Pull My Strings would have been a much better protest against the X Factor. Maybe we could buy that for 2010.

I thought exactly the same James, but after I read an interview with Mr Cowell, the thoughts - "Smug Arrogant Bastard" came to mind and I had to join in.

Besides i'd only spend the 29p on... :wink: ;D
