For those of you not aware what's happening is that for around four years (if memory serves me right) the X factor tv show has finished close to Christmas guaranteeing the winner the number one spot. This year out of nowhere a group has been started through facebook that has grown incredibly fast and now holds around 760,000 members and have been encouraging downloads of the song to keep X factor off the top spot.
Currently killing in the name is 10% ahead of Joe McElderry's cover of The Climb (Miley Cyrus) but this may be about to change as the song gets released on CD tomorrow, whichever song that is at the top of the charts on Saturday 19th will be declared this years number one.
Simon Cowell of X factor has described the campaign as "cynical" but I was wondering if anybody else had any views regarding it...

Costa Mesa, CA-December 15, 2009- Industree Music Network, Inc., a new web-based company that centers around Social Music Sharing™, an innovative online music distribution and monetization platform, launches. Social Music Sharing™ combines social networking, music, and the ability for fans to share in the artists' album sales that they directly and indirectly help generate.
Social Music Sharing™ takes the most powerful component from traditional network-marketing based business models, the ability for consumers to share in the sales generated by the people they directly and indirectly invite into the network, and leaves the sign-up fees, purchase requirements, and aggressive sales tactics behind.
Industree stands firmly by the "share the wealth" philosophy; 40-50 per cent of every album sale is shared with the fans and five per cent of every sale is donated to charity.
Industree employs an "Honor System" pricing structure, which is based on the fans' honest opinion of the music that they buy. Fans ultimately name their own price for the music that they buy, and then the person who initially invited them, as well as that person's "Roots," all share in the profits.

The song is the best and the worst song I ever heard.
My heart breaks everytime I hear it, but still I can't stop listening to this song.
Have you heard it? What do you think about it?
Would like to her others meanings about the song :)

Also, since this marks the end of the decade, I tried to figure out my 'best of the decade' list. This was a bit harder, as I'm sure I've forgotten many which were released in the decade. My Top 50 of the decade

This time, I'm looking for recommendations for my father. He enjoys music very much. A few specific bands he enjoys are are: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack Johnson, Lincoln Park, Kings of Leon, Weezer, and pretty much anything that might be played on a classic rock radio station. He doesn't like the following so much: pop, country, anything electronic or synthesized sounding, hip hop & rap.
I'm looking for fairly new, lesser-known bands that he might enjoy (anything old or mainstream, and I risk getting him something he already has, he downloads a lot of music from itunes and I can't keep up). I just want to share some music from my generation with him, something he would enjoy but wouldn't normally run into on his own.
Any help anyone could give me would be very appreciated!
