X-Factor Silence… 0

Last year I was occasionally writing about X-Factor here, as do most other Country/Folk artists on their own sites.  This year, I’ve kept reasonably quiet on whole thing. There are two reasons for this…

2) The nice folks over at Holy Moly do a much better job than I ever could. Matt Edmondson’s videos in particular are well worth a gawp at.

For those that hate X-Factor: Don’t worry, it finishes soon.

I’m guilty, it’s my fault. I started the #donk thing on Twitter.

I had no intention of starting a wacky internet craze or meme surrounding the word ‘Donk’, I was merely thinking aloud and the internet did the rest. Honestly, it did.

By way of background, Put A Donk On It is a record by The Blackout Crew and is without a doubt one of the high watermarks of popular music in the 21st Century so far. The fact that it wasn’t a global hit remains an absolute mystery to me. Here’s how… Read the rest
