Who's number one ?
Here's something I found which I'll simply paste because I believe it's of great interest.
Let's get The Who to number one
Iconic music legends The Who have never had a number 1 single in the UK charts. This seems wrong, somehow, especially considering the general excellence of their back-catalogue. Here's the idea then - you and everyone you know needs to download an MP3 of The Who's "Baba O'Riley" from a reputable retailer whose sales contribute to the UK chart (iTunes, HMV, 7-Digital, Napster, that kind of thing), and we get The Who to the top of the charts.
The key thing to remember though is this: we all need to do this in the same week. So, in the week commencing Monday 16th November 2009, you need to get online and buy "Baba O'Riley"... and you need to get all your friends to do the same thing... and they need to get all their friends... and so on.
Not only can we set right a musical wrong by finally giving The Who a chart-topper, we can also demonstrate the combined might of social networking. So whether you tweet, post, blog, poke, or anything else - tell everyone: buy The Who's "Baba O'Riley" as an MP3 download in the week commencing Monday 16th November 2009.
Where to buy... but not until week commencing 16th November 2009!
iTunes, HMV.com, Napster, 7 digital or Amazon.

The future of radio?
I've recently been checking out the competition. I've been listening to large amounts of community stations and internet radio programmes.And with very few exceptions, they've all missed the point. So many of them are purely doing a watered down version of commercial FM radio, with in some cases even worse presenters. I didn't realise this was possible, but believe me, it is.
For the new form of radio to survive, we need to be the innovators, not the followers. There are so many people in the market providing late night love songs or the best hits from the '80's, '90's and '90's, a concept invented in the 1980's by the hideous GWR (Great Western Radio) which ruined commercial radio.This boring format can be found anywhere, try something different.There's many untapped genres of music out there with a ready fan base waiting to be served. So let's serve them, and watch our audiences grow.
