BUY JEFF BUCKLEY!! KILL X FACTOR!!

Jeff Buckley is in a chart battle but does not know who with yet.

The winner of this years X-Factor will be releasing a cover of 'Hallelujah' a song Jeff famously covered for his 1994 legendary debut album 'Grace'. So Jeff is up against the Irish furbie kid, the 4 urban lads or the girl who actually can sing but is 10 a penny.

Its a fucking shame that a truly great artists work is in the media for these reasons and a shame that the charts are so bullshit nowadays. Its a reason I listen to Radio 2. On the flipside some kids who read about this might have the foresight to download 'Grace' and thus find out about decent music.

Buckley's version rose from 49 to 43 last week (Nov 30) in the charts. Facebook groups are trying to help sales but sadly I reckon some flash in the pan muppet will have that at Christmas time thus to the annoyance of people who have taste and souring a great song.

Last Goodbye
