pcock Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 sony wins, but it would be more interesting than seeing bland popstar number 304495 being number one and sony still winning. im not buying either of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idrn Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 on the 'sticking it to the man' note, this decade has been mired by the iraq/afghan wars, a new recession, and in-your-face political scandle (expenses). these have actually been in the public consciousness though (ie. not just people who take a interest in economics or politics), so on this level i think that there is a degree of protest, or at least articulation of disgruntlement at political culture/global events/the arts that a song (which could otherwise sound dated or teen angsty) carries the sentiment of well. in this case, rage against the machine are a vessel for a conglomerate of public dissent, and most certainly not promotion of their own. it's a communal act that could have only been made possibly by the social technologies developed over the last decade too, which makes it all the more beautiful.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 it is a protest song, that's what makes it appear to be a protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest analogue wings Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm all for the reality tv combo breaker idea - just don't kid yourself that the band that sang about evil corporations while signed to Sony Records is any less fake than the X Factor band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 So you lot would rather see some awful nineties crusties at number one with an aural equivalent of the average youtube comment, rather than a fresh faced young Geordie lad with an interpretation of Camus' myth of sisyphus? You fucking cunts. I'm going to stab you. Cunts. Racist cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest margaret thatcher Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i'd think it was briliant if rage against the machine could have a christmas #1. it's got nothing to do with the record label, it's all to do with the fact that x factor has had the xmas #1 for the last 4 years now, maybe 5 this year. a dirty protest, if you like.
