Don't Buy This to Stop X-Factor Being Christmas #1, Buy It Because It's Good

lucky soul for christmas no 1

Being in Italy this year has meant that the humiliation-circus that is X-Factor has completely passed me by, and what a wonderful thing that is.

At least it had until I read Dave Gorman's impassioned plea for people to buy something decent instead. He's nominated Malcolm Middleton's We're All Going To Die, which is a bit depressing but quite catchy...

And one of the commenters on Dave's blog reminded me that last.fm have a Christmas number one campaign too. I hadn't checked it out when they emailed me about it, but I've just had a listen and it sounds great. Surely well worth the 40p(!) it costs to buy, and the profits are all going to charity too.

How many more "it's worth it just for that" boxes does it have to tick?

It's actually possible to live in Edinburgh and avoid this, what is it? X factor? Life is certainly better without it, you're right there.

Then I must apologise profusely for having brought it to your attention ;-) I guess at least I didn't provide any links to it, just to much better alternatives.
