The battle is settled

As a Dane I always find it pretty amusing to follow the far out UK battle for the number one Christmas single. They really make a big fuss about it. You are even able to place bets on the different bands at the bookmakers. Unless something unforeseen happens this year winner is going to be the winner of the talent show X-Factor, Shayne Ward. I think that this just shows what all readers of DoCopenhagen already knows, the music charts are uninteresting and doesn't reflect all the cool stuff that has happened during 05.

By the way, I read a recommendation of Joanna Newsom at StereoGum.com and downloaded her album Milk-Eyed Mender from 04. I really like it so I'm going to recommend it also. You can download live versions of a bunch of her songs here.
