So it's that festive time of year again and I guess we should start mentioning the dreaded (dreadful?) Christmas number one spot, which as ever is tipped to be taken by recent 'X Factor' victor Leon with his bland (even by 'X Factor' standards) cover of Mariah Carey's 'When You Believe'. However, us having ears, we'd much rather munch through our seasonal mince pies to Malcolm Middleton's 'We're All Going to Die', which was released yesterday. Rather than give the usual blurb about how much we admire Mr Middleton for taking on said reality TV show winner, we'll leave him to convince you to buy his record in his own words: "It's about saving our children's future. It's about not ruining Colin's [Radio One DJ Murray, who has thrown his support behind the release] Christmas. It's about wiping the smiles off of faces that smile all year round anyway, and putting those smiles on all of our faces that don't. If you already have the song then buy one of the remixes, they sound great and count towards the chart too. And then let's never mention this again, except in winks and smiles".
