An anti-X Factor "supergroup" is getting together to record its entry in the race for this year's Christmas number one - the sound of silence.

Orbital, Imogen Heap and Pete Doherty are among those who will do nothing in a recording studio in London on Monday.

They will be recreating composer John Cage's experimental work 4'33", the sound of an orchestra not playing.

True, but so is being dragged naked through a field of broken glass. :D

I know I'm being picky, but these disruption attempts are just as contrived as the x-factor number ones.

As little as I like Rage Against the Machine, I respect the fact that they are actually a proper band/group, and not some manufactured twaddle, incessantly churning out middle of the road insipid dross in place of real music; but they only achieved their success last year because someone chose them for the facebook campaign. It could just as easily have been the crazy frog!

They're a bit slow. There's already a Facebook group trying to get Family Guy's Bird Is The Word to number one for Xmas.

...amongst various other efforts. The anti-X-Factor effort is so divided this year that X-Factor will probably regain the Christmas number 1 this year.
