If you haven’t heard of the new viral internet thang, here it is.

Let’s try to get Tom waits to the Xmas number 1 in Ireland. If you have no idea who Tom waits is, he is something of a cross between Ronnie Drew and Billy Joel, with a bit of Nina Simone thrown in.

So, while the rest of the world buys X-factor rubbish, we can be really cool and have a Tom Waits number one for Xmas. This kind of thing makes world news, so go and do it.

Anyway, I want you to go out and buy this song, which really is a very good song:

Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis.
