RADIO 1'S SEKRIT MASTERPLAN TO RUIN XMO EVERY YEAR

1. Approach festive season.

2. Find godawful acoustic dirge.

3. Promote g.a.d. as tiny alternative indie underdog to juggernaut of Xmas tat.

4. Play tiny alternative indie underdog fvcking incessantly. Play juggernaut of Xmas tat 0 times.

5. Watch as indie underdog gets to No.1

6. HURRAH FOR REAL MUSIC

This year the injustice seems less than in the horrible winter of Gary Jules because - even though Nizlopi is actually MUCH WORSE than "Mad World" was - there's not any actually good records it's keeping off the top (The Frog was never going to beat Westlife, eheu). Even so this smarts.

Two final points. First off, no five year old knows who Bruce Lee is. Second off, every five year old wd prefer "Jingle Bells (Nim Nim)" to "The JCB Song".
