I think I mentioned this in the ugly statues thread, but there was a town in New Jersey that I used to have to go to for work that had a 9/11 memorial on the lawn of its courthouse that was a maybe 10-foot mini clocktower with "TIME TO REMEMBER" engraved in each clockface. What a message -- it's always "time to remember." You should literally be thinking about 9/11 every second of every day.

The Onion has been pretty funny as of late, just not with that one.

I like the write-up in the Voice link that calls out that Xiu Xiu song, nails why that song always rubbed me the wrong way. Like, misdirected vitriol there, on some level.

never heard that one. calling Empire State of Mind a 9/11 response song is a pretty big stretch though.

"Empire State of Mind" was originally written by Brooklyn natives Angela Hunte and Jane't "Jnay" Sewell-Ulepic who were feeling homesick while on an overseas trip in February 2009. The following month they sent the song in for consideration at Roc Nation, although it received negative reviews. Initially discouraged, the duo sent the song to Jay-Z after a suggestion by an associate of EMI Music Publishing (EMI), and after an incident which they described as an omen.

After hearing the song, Jay-Z immediately recorded it, changing all of the verses but keeping the hook.

lol

"immediately" - final master is recorded in Voice Memos on Hov's iPhone. Memphis Bleek is humming the string parts.

This thread was therapeutic after reading my friends' Facebook posts from yesterday this morning. It was all I could do to not troll every single one of them.
