  1. Hello pop pickers! As you no doubt know, the BBC has announced plans to close BBC 6Music and some other services. I am part of the 170,000 member Facebook campaign against this. You will all have your own music tastes, that's great, we want to keep 6 in part so that jangly indie alt post punk funk soul freak acid prog nonsense can be kept away from hurting your ears. We have chosen this week to try to get Half Man Half Biscuit's Joy Division Oven Gloves to #6 in the charts. Whilst I must urge you to buy this fine piece of Birkenhead poetry and visit joydivisionovengloves.com to learn more about our lovely campaign, my question to you helpful people is one of dufferish bewilderment. at the moment, we are bouncing around 1/2/3 on the Amazon chart. we have moved up from about 7 to 3 in the play chart. But we are 54 at iTunes? Where are we likely to end up? My theory is that my fellow duffers like me tend to buy CDs (and books and electronics), hence already have Amazon accounts whereas (being somewhat out of touch) may have iPod thingies but have shied away from downloads as we come for a generation thyat supported bands by buying their (vinyl) albums. Interested to hear your thoughts Save 6!
