Half Man Half Biscuit for Number 1
Posted by Humphrey Plugg on 22 March 2010 - 4:43pm.
As part of the "save 6 Music" campaign, there's a campaign to get the incomparably wonderful "Joy Division Oven Gloves" to number one in a couple of weeks - full details here: http://www.joydivisionovengloves.com/
Seems well worth 79p! I guess if it was bought via the Word download site the magazine would get a cut, so it's definitely a win-win.
For those who've never had the pleasure, here's a surprisingly literal video:

Oh no! Another Facebook flash mob
I hate these. I like this song but like that other one they Facebooked up the charts recently, enough already.
Is this likely to change anyone's mind and cause them to save 6Music? I doubt it.
Probably not
But it's a laugh.
I'd agree with you
but it's HMHB! I'm sure Nigel is writing a song about Facebook flash mobs for the next album, after all this is the man who wrote:
Splendid!
Worth buying just to get HMHB into the charts and give them a blast of well deserved cash.
If it creates more publicity for 6Music then all the better.
It's what I believe is known as a 'win-win'.
I refer the right honorable massive to the blog I posted earlier
They want to get the track to Number 6 in the charts, not number one.

I wouldn't have thought Facebook groups and indeed 6 Music were entirely HMHB's bag either (West Kirby FM more like) but they don't seem to mind, it's reported on the official website anyway:

OK guys and gals
this is the week to download it via http://www.joydivisionovengloves.com/
it won't save 6Music (probably), Facebook "flashmobs" are pretty tedious but, let's face it, who wouldn't love to see HMHB in the top 10?
Or buy it from here
and The Word will get a cut
