Ignoring the Machine

By now you would have to be living under a rock not to know about the battle for Christmas number one between the Karaoke Factor winner and Rage Against the Machine. Personally, I don't think either song is any good and don't really want either to be number one. But if I have to pick, it would be RATM. Why? Well, because Bland Factor winner seems to think he deserves it, he wants people to "support him" not buy his record if they enjoy it. Neither choice is about the music and both are owned by the same record company, but RATM was always about the protest. I think the best protest is in not handing my money over to people who churn out music I think is crap and that is why I won't be getting either, even in protest.

So, if someone you love is planning on buying the Beige Factor song this Christmas, be a friend and slap some sense into them.
