Finding out that the X-Factor winner's single this year is a cover of Hallelujah made me want to throw items at the TV. How ironic that the song has the lyric, "but you don't really care for music, do ya?".

But here's a more contructive solution - buy Jeff Buckley's cover from a online music shop in an effort, likely futile but still satisfying, to make it number one this weekend instead. Many have - just look for the Facebook groups, the website, and the newspaper coverage.

Also, while I am filled with more festive cheer this year than for many years, I still find that Band Aid song to be utterly repugnant.
