It's The Climb...

Sorry if this blog feels a bit disjointed, it's an issue I'm passionate about...


Hey, sorry I've not updated in a while, I've been busy with uni shit.
but, bar one or two things I'm free till new year now :)

So, what's been happening...

Well the Large Hadron Collider is now working (although it'll be a long while before we hear anything significant from it). The Copenhagen Climate Talks are predictably failing to make any progress, and some bankers think they deserve a nice christmas bonus for all their hard work.

But, i'd like to focus on something a little more important than these things, a battle for hearts and minds if you will.

I am of course talking about the battle for the UK Christmas No.1, between X-Factor winner Joe McElderry (I had to look that up) and his stunning cover of that well loved classic 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus. And a slightly different band, Rage Against The Machine's 1992 Epic 'Killing In The Name'.

Now this has obviously been spread and discussed all over the media who obviously have nothing better to write about, so i'll just summarise here:

- For the last four years the X-Factor 'winners' have dominated the christmas no.1
- This year, a facebook group opened in an attempt to get RATM to no.1 and usurp the X-Factor (and raise some money for charity)
- Simon cowell calls the campaign "Cynical & Stupid"... more people buy Rage.
- Tom Morello donates all money raised to UK youth charity and encourages people to buy. (calls campaign a 'wonderful dose of anarchy')
- Simon Cowell says he's "done us a favour" by removing crap such as 'Bob The Builder' and 'Mr. Blobby' from the christmas charts. (P.S. FUCK YOU!, I'D RATHER LISTEN TO BOB THE BUILDER).
- Facebook group has so far raised £30,000 for charity and are currently ahead in the charts.
- Simon confident X-Factor will win.
- Bookies Odds are on Rage to win, at 8/11, with Joe at evens.
(NME are keeping a real-time update here)

So, where are we now. Well Rage are ahead in the midweek charts, but today saw the CD go on sale, which the retards who watch x-factor will ultimately buy because they're illiterate and don't know how to download.

In case you'd forgotten here are the no.1's for the last decade.. All shit
2000 Bob The Builder "Can We Fix It?"
2001 Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman "Somethin' Stupid"
2002 Girls Aloud "Sound of the Underground"
2003 Michael Andrews & Gary Jules "Mad World"
2004 Band Aid 20 "Do They Know It's Christmas
2005 Shayne Ward "That's My Goal"
2006 Leona Lewis "A Moment Like This"
2007 Leon Jackson "When You Believe"
2008 Alexandra Burke "Hallelujah"
2009 RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE "KILLING IN THE NAME"

C-C-C-C-COMBO-BREAKER!

Come on! let's do it.
- To Prove Cowell Wrong
- To have one decent Christmas No.1 this decade.
- To say 'Fuck You X-Factor'
- For the lulz
- To end this decade on a fucking high!

Download it now (it's 29p for fuck's sake, and it goes to charity, unlike the x-factor song which all goes to Joe, Simon Cowell and Miley Cyrus. (any rational person would rather fund terrorism than pay them!))

Oh, and in case you've missed it, here's the inevitable internet viral:


Shep.
