Charity or Lining Simon Cowell's pockets? not too much of a tough choice. Jennie - drownedinsound.com have been running a campaign to get a much more festive song in the christmas top 40 'Get behind me Santa' by the rather excellent Sufjan Stevens. Worth checking out!

Nice post, any readers who haven't, go read. Kerri - Given my current situation, I don't think I could afford it! Jennie - I don't care, go buy it! Or go get the muppets Bo Rap instead. That is awesome. Ian – well at least you still left me a comment! Nice post, any readers who haven’t, go read.

Kerri – Given my current situation, I don’t think I could afford it!

On the one hand, I see where these people are coming from - X Factor is a big pile of awful and the acts are getting worse every year. A bit of competition is necessary and I'd love to see Simon Cowell pissed off and that stupid Elderberry boy cry. I just don't like the choice of song. Not that I don't like the song, but it's Christmas for God's sake! (Or Santa, or whoever you worship. For me, it's Santa). They could have chosen something a bit nice and perhaps even Christmassy. But no, some flipping metal child somewhere said 'hur, hur, wouldn't it be funny if RATM were number one at Christmas with the least christmassy song ever?' and now it might be... So, in conclusion; X Factor not being xmas number one =good. RATM being xmas number one = bad. Maybe I'll release a Christmas single. I am thoroughly torn.
