From bradfitz's lj_maintenance update: 
The site will be down in 30 minutes for probably 30 minutes. That's 12:30 am -- 1:00 am PDT (-0800 GMT). So GMT would
be 8:30 am -- 9:00 am. My apologies to those of you in Europe who are just getting into work and are bored. You'll actually
have to work this morning. :-) 

Feh. Feh, I say, feh! :p

Because I'm bored and because LJ is still down 37 minutes after it's supposed to have been back up, I will now continue to talk about the list of songs that've apparently been banned from the radiowaves.

Metallica - Seek and Destroy
Metallica - Harvester or Sorrow
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Metallica - Fade to Black

Okay, I understand why they might find SaD offensive. HoS, okay, yeah, maybe. FtB has a history of "offensiveness". But ES? WTF?

All Rage Against The Machine songs

Huh. Go Zack & Co!

REM - It's the End of the World as We Know - It

Okay, yeah, I get the point. But it still made me smile first time I heard it since Tuesday.

Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian

The Bangles? Offensive? *blink*

Alanis Morissette - Ironic

And again, I ask, WTF?

The Beatles - A Day in the Life
The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
The Beatles - Ticket To Ride
The Beatles - Obla Di, Obla Da

And yet again, what the fucking fuck? I bet John would find the concept of Ob La Di, Ob La Da being banned hilarious. Goddamn freaks.

Bob Dylan/Guns N Roses - Knockin' on Heaven's Door

OPookay, taking personal offense here. This was on my Comfort Playlist during this whole thing. I can't really see the offense. It's a comforting song, people.

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

Another Playlist song. See above. Not comforting per se, but singing along with it was a great way of expressing myself.

Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction

Heh. Now I want to hear that song. Oddly appropriate, ne?

Los Bravos - Black is Black
Eh?

Elvis - (You're the) Devil in Disguise

Again, eh?

Elton John - Daniel

Yet again, EH?

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World

WTFuckingF? Comfort Song, people!

Simon And Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Zjah? Hello?

Yager and Evans - In the Year 2525

That one makes even less sense than all the other ones.

Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

No, wait, this one. I can vaguely comprehend people not wanting to play What a Wonderful World, but this? This? Argh!

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Travelin' Band

Need I say it anymore? WTF?

Update: It's now 54 minutes later than the original deadline, and 9 minutes past the new one. C'me on, guys. I'm: boooooored.

Jesus Chris. Excuse me, I seem to have developed a sudden urge for Bruce Springsteen songs.

Zjah! Bruce Springsteen did a song with the Wallflowers? Gah!

Update: Four minutes past the yet even newer deadline. A bit more accurate estimates, boys?

Er. Just realised tomorrow is femgeeks.net's birthday. Ooiii. That means lots of html tonight, because the day after, I'm sposed to put up independentsoul.net. Ack.

Another 40 minutes? Whine? Argh!

dormando! Stop gloating and make the slaves update faster!

Grmbl. Late start on purpose? Why must this be my server? Arg!

Huh. So I'm looking through rrosa's picture pages, and I just wanted to note that in this picture, JC vaguegy reminds me of Larry Mullen in drag. No, seriously. Y'know, in the One video by Anton Corbijn? Wow.

YES! Back!

Oh, for god's sake. It looks like they've gone through and found anything with a reference to planes, fire, etc...and banned it. 's like when I heard they were going through TV show openers set in NY and editing out shots of the skyline that included the WTC. I was like, "The *hell?* They can't possibly be serious. Can they?" And then I laughed.

Think, people. Don't just react. That's bad.

Was talking about this to a coworker yesterday. In a way, it's uderstandable that they don't want to remind people of the loss. But it's no good pretending the towers were never there in the first place, y'know?
