World of Chig   

3.11.05

This Sunday will be a slightly significant milestone in Chig's life, so it seems the ideal day for an uplifting, music-related announcement. Sadly, Radio 1 has yet to agree to my suggestion that the inane JK and Joel monkeys be prevented from desecrating* the so-called chart show any longer, and that they be placed in stocks outside Broadcasting House where the public can see, as well as hear, what utter twats they are, and someone decent who actually cares about music and knows something about it will be allowed to give us our Top 40 back. No, that announcement must be next month. (Surely? Please.) In the meantime, we'll have to rely on another announcement. So, at long last, three years after our splendid Fifty Years of Number Ones Project (see sidebar), World Of Chig will be announcing a brand new, interactive 'project' type thingy, which will drag on for months and months, until May in fact, ending just before the highly significant life event which is related to the significant event this Sunday. Or when people stop participating, whichever is the sooner. Confused? Good.

Suffice it to say that this new thing will be about music. Hurrah! It will involve you making lists. Hurrah again! It will involve voting, by you, dear reader, and a big Excel spreadsheet by me. Thrice hurrah! What could be more exciting? Only the prospect of full-on snogging and sexual intercourse with Shayne from 'Shayne's Path To Pop Stardom and Being Chig's Houseboy'; a fly-on-the-wall documentary which you might know as The X Factor, but that's another story.



(Gratuitous picture.)

Bet you can't wait. See you on Sunday. (There might be other stuff in the meantime. You never can tell.)


*Note to JK and Joel: that word doesn't mean 'shitting on', but it might as well.
