Looking for something to buy this summer?

Those of you that have read past posts on this blog may have come across one about Xfm, which is my local radio station here in London. If you're not in London, you can listen to it on the InterWeb.

There is a breakfast show. It's a Sony Gold winner several times, so it's worth listening to. The music is mainly indie, rock and the occasional piece of dance-based stuff. It's a good station.

A while back they brought out a record for the Football World Cup, which did very well. The competition alone was worth listening to.

This time, they are back with the feel-good hit for the summer. It comes out on 1 August 2005 and you can hear it by clicking this link. It's by Twisted X featuring Outlaw.

Outlaw are a band made up of kids aged about 11 or 12. And they really play their instruments. It's not some studio nonsense.

The song might not win any awards, but for their age it's fantastic. All proceeds go to the Band Aid Trust, helping to alleviate poverty around the world. So, even if you hate it, this could be the best way to give a little bit of money to charity.

Go on, buy this record today.
