YouTube and the Ultimate CliffRoll

YouTube has blocked music videos to UK users following a disbute with the people who sort out the royalties for songwriters. Apparently payments are overdue and it doesn't look like YouTube will be paying them. The full story can be read here.

In other news...
Following up from the Ultimate RickRoll, in which the idea was to get Rick Astley's tune, Never Gonna Give You Up, to the Christmas number 1 spot, there's not plans for a CliffRoll which intends to get Cliff Richard his number 1 single of the noughties, therefore ending up with a number 1 single in every decade of his career. The CliffRoll will take place on the lead up to the Easter Sunday countdown on April 12th. But that's not all! The song chosen is an odd choice as it is a Christmas song. And it's not Christmas! Yet. So, I'm just passing on the message for everyone to download the track from iTunes, 7Digital, HMV Digital, or whatever floats your boat, during the week beginning April 6th. But what is the song? Mistletoe And Wine, of course. Let's CliffRoll Easter 2009.
