He did a limited issue CD and asked his fans to vote on which track _they'd_ like to see as a single. The one they picked just entered the UK charts at number 9! Bet that'll piss off the major record labels, especially as the marketing budget was probably about zero. I might just watch Top of the Pops this week."
