Title: Killing in the Name!
Post by: Shifthoof on December 15, 2009, 01:57:04 pm

I posted this on Dunemaul forums but thanks to the high number of dirty non Uk'rs it didn't get much response

The linked page is 100% public

Basically, the idea of the page is to get Rage Against the Machines' track "Killing in the Name" to Christmas Number1 in the UK by people buying it through the listed sites (Play.com etc) so the UK doesn't have to bear another tedious X-Factor song.

It's currently outselling the track it's trying to beat. Do your bit for the UK! :D

I'm not sure how they intend to beat the X Factor #1... they are just going to earn RatM a lot of money :P

By trying to seem unconformist and different people are just creating another bandwagon for people to jump on....

I bought that album a few years back and I still listen to it occasionally but I dono if I like this sort of thing personally D:

Conformism has always been a funny word. By being non-conformist you're conforming to something else, i.e. being non-conformist.

Anyway don't know if I support this RAtM vs. X-Factor (I despise the X-Factor) stuff but if you haven't heard Rage before they are amazing and definitely worth checking out.

I'd rather buck the trend and not care about who wins the christmas #1.
