Rage Against The X Factor

For my UK based readers :

If, like me, you are sick of the X Factor winner having a guaranteed Christmas number one every year, and especially don't want him topping the Christmas chart with a Hannah Sodding Montana song, then please buy the download of the track

KILLING IN THE NAME

by

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

from each of these sites :

iTunes
www.7digital.co.uk
www.hmv.co.uk
www.amazon.co.uk

And if you're a member at tunetribe please buy it there too.

It only costs 79p to 99p each time - and just 29p on Amazon - so you can buy six copies for well under a fiver. Buy just one from iTunes and from 7digital, but HMV, Amazon and Tunetribe all have two different entries for the track, and if you buy one of each that does count as two sales.

Please buy these tracks some time between now and Saturday evening. Thank you so much.

Let's tell them enough is enough.

I shall be purchasing, even though the money will still go to some huge corporate machine, and even though there is no way in hell that Radio 1 will play the lyrics "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me".

There is also charity page for SHELTER set up by the organisers. Apparently they're up to about £17,400 at the moment.
