Rage Against The X Factor

[eiffel_71]

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.

Do that and the money still goes to Sony.

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.

Cowell is rich enough, whether he gets a tiny bit more money out of it or not, I don't care and neither will he.

I think the point is to prove to Cowell that we don't all like the drivel he produces and perhaps irritate him a little that he didn't get the Christmas Number 1 he was no doubt smugly expecting.

I've not seen any of the X-Factor series, thankfully. I can find out the result, whether I like it or not, by logging on to Facebook and seeing friends' status updates on any given Saturday or Sunday!
