1. With simon cowell and his freakshow entourage about to release their cover of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ on the unfortunate listening British public please join our campaign to get the original ‘real’ version of ‘Heroes’ to number one. Please join and support, add this link to any site/forum you feel it may be of use, thanks.

  2. That's a great idea.

    But no one will beat the 'Rage Against The Machine for Christmas Number 1' group. Brilliant thing is, it actually happened.
  3. They're actually trying to get 4 minutes, 33 seconds of silence to the top of the charts this Christmas.
  4. It's not the x factor christmas single it's a mid-november charity 'Cowell wants a knighthood' bandwagon jump that makes it even worse.
  5. fuck me, not Heroes. i love that song.

    Cowell's already killed Hallelujah and Everybody Hurts, he doesn't have to murder every classic that comes to mind.
  6. I love that song, but alas, I live in America.

    It would be cool to have a simultaneous campaign here.

    I thought there was an identical thing done back in the 50s by John Cage - called 4:33 (with one single note), or is this the same thing?
  8. Simon Cowell is a chancre on the penis of the music industry.

    Would kill to have that one in lossless
  10. Simon Cowell is a chancre on the penis of the music industry.

    He's 25% of what's wrong with the industry. Then others took note from him and his '25% wrongness' changed to 100%.

    The 4'33 'song' is a great idea though. It really does open you up to the sounds around you.

    Same thing. It's being dubbed "Cage Against The Machine"



  12. It's about as entertaining too. Although you know something like this is gonna sell like anything, but I'd personally prefer to give my money to some charity instead and more.
