Silent night?
Now, who’s up for a chorus of Deck Us All With Boston Charlie?
It’s the Holiday Season Dept
...and abuncha wags in the U.K. want to mess with your mind (or at least the pop charts...):A motley crew [oh, har-de-har! - o.g.] of musicians backed by a Facebook campaign are plotting to hijack the poor beleaguered Christmas number one with a four-minute recording of silence.Meanwhile over at Roseholme, Roberta produces a generic carol, guaranteed to offend no one.
Following last year’s triumphant, internet-bolstered, telly-talent-compo-orthodoxy-upending ascendance of the gleefully inappropriate and profanity-sprinkled Killing in the Name by Rage Against The Machine to the once-sacred top spot, a campaign is under way to get a charity recording of avant garde composer John Cage's 4'33" to the lofty position for 25 December.
