oh my god - this is completely deranged.

old news, I guess, but I just saw it for the first time.
(it seems to work best if you skip the introductory material and just skip straight to the list.)

agreed- completely deranged. I really wonder what roomful of trained monkeys determined that list.
In my opinion, WXPN (furthest leftwing radio station in the area) went completely apeshit on 9/11. it was too close to their fall fund drive for them to take any risks and if memory serves, prior to that they didn't really do much in terms of news- they had someone occasionally read some newswire stuff, but the new release from Richard Thompson had equal weight to, say, the economy, at the time. They started broadcasting BBC news updates and now they have NPR news on the hour. which is good, in my opinion.
what was weird was the day they played a song and afterwards, the DJ went insane with wild apologies, promising that WXPN would be extremely careful with its choices of songs and sensitive to the events of 9/11 in song selection and so on.
the song? Cousteau's "Last Good Day of the Year."

I'm reminded of how, for the two or three months after 9/11, the bartenders at my favorite dive bar in seattle had to use the lockout feature of their high tech jukebox to make track one of this album unplayable.

Oh yeah...

No "Killing" on the local Alternative station since 9/11... haven't actually heard it anywhere, even on the VERY 80's stations...
