Hell yes.

Despite having this anyway I went ahead and bought Killing In The Name from Play.com because well I wanted to Rage Against the X-Factor Machine.

For those of you that don't know - in the UK in the past few years the X-Factor "single" has been No 1 in the UK charts at Xmas time, or has been vying for the No1 spot.

This year a bunch of people started a campaign to fight this trend of insipid pop dominance over the charts and backed RATM's Killing In The Name for No1. Its been an amusing time and now RATM have won over the X-Factor effort, which happens to be a cover of Climb by Miley Cyrus which is ALSO in the top 40 already.

Anyways, I'm happy now despite being at work on Xmas for 12hours.

Shit song, but i miss the days when Mr Blobby was Christmas #1.

Gah! I hate to always be bitching about things, but you do know that all this is just giving sony more funds to promote x-factor artists, don't you? Besides, RATM just sound's embarrassing these days, what with the horribly nu-metal fuckernaut they helped to popularise. Crazytown were, ultimately, RATM's fault.

Hi, we're Rage Against the Machine. We write lyrics about the evils of capitalism and commercialism while making millions of dollars selling CDs. Now testify.

Now that I would buy.

rage against the machine? seriously? it's almost 2010 you balldunking fucks, talk about something else now.

I always thought Rage, inc. were a bunch of shrieking, intellectually dishonest, morally self-promoting fuckheads- Morello's Maoist loyalty to the Peruvian Shining Path guerillas was particulary nauseating- but I would argue that 0:41-0:53 of Killing would be perhaps the single greatest ringtone in the history of human civilization.

blah blah blah irrelevant posturing, discussion of a band that only early teens gave a fuck about even five years ago

Testify indeed, seeing as the sales were supposedly donated to a homeless charity (http://www.avclub.com/articles/internet-1-simon-cowell-0,36547/) [citation needed].
