Simon Cowell and his freak show entourage are to release a version of David Bowie's 'Heroes' - In a similar vein to last year's get Rage Against the machine to the christmas number one a facebook campaign is being launched to get the original and incomparable Bowie version to number one instead. Further details here as and when but please look out for it and support it if you can.

One of the "I Hate X Factor" Facebook groups is suggesting John Cage's 4' 33" thereby forcing music radio stations to fill the air with silence instead of whatever crap Simon Cowell tries to flog us.
INSPIRED!!!!!

Funnily enough we were talking in the office about what we could release to keep Cowell's crew off the Crimble no 1. Bowie must be desperate if he lets these twunts ruin a classic.

This isn't his christmas single it's his mid November 'give me a knighthood' charity bandwagon jump.

I can totally understand why people would want to sabotage the X factor Christmas song but i have to admit Im a new convert (not that I follow it religiously) but the show is great! its exciting, dramatic, pathetic, funny and does hit so many emotionalk buttons for a tv show...Including those who hate it.
Sometimes being hated has its commercial gains and yes the masses love it too.
KER-CHING to Simon Cowell for making that money.
Also that other programme that got me recently was Strictly Come Dancing which i thought would never have any appeal to me whatsoever.
Thanks to DJ Goldie (massive fan of his metalheadz stuff) for turning me onto it. Fucking hell its sexy as fuck, its bright, and even love old man Brucie, and the ladies in their outfits?..Even Felicity Kendall was stunning. I would seriously do her...Freddie, book me for a granny scene. Jacks back! !happy!
RAAAAAAGH!

Probably wouldn't accept it. He's already refused a CBE and Knighthood, bless him.
