And the UK Christmas Number 1 2009 is...
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the NameFor the first time in years we've had a proper chart battle in the UK and not only that a battle for Christmas number 1.Most of the Xmas number 1s of the decade have belonged to reality tv show winners - the only good one being Girls Aloud Sound of the Underground.

No talking inbetween - it's the album in it's entirety. This week it's Metallica's self-titled release.Was surprised to hear Busted's What I Go To School for when I got into my car after work today. And even more surprised when the track after that sou

I didn't imagine some flashy video, perhaps just a performance video complete with

Mercury Music Prize 2009

Artist:
So it's the Mercury Music Prize tomorrow. I generally don't pay that much attention to it - I'll catch whoever won it from the papers and read a wee bit on the albums, but I've never sat down to watch/listen to it.But as both Florence + the Machine & Bat For Lashes are nominated and I actually happen to own these albums, thought I would give it a watch tomorrow. Though, unfortunately tomorrow's sh
