No weather today I have sadly found it necessary to remove my weatherpixie. It was unavailable too often, and delayed the loading of my front page substantually. I'll try it again later, and see if response time improves, because I really liked it. 5:44:16 AM    comment []

Metallica sues band using E and F chords "Metallica are taking legal action against independant Canadian rock band Unfaith over what they feel is unsanctioned usage of two chords the band has been using since 1982 : E and F. "People are going to get on our case again for this, but try to see it from our point of view just once," stated Metallica's Lars Ulrich. "We're not saying we own those two chords, individually - that would be ridiculous. We're just saying that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with our music."" (MTV, sorta) Actually a few music and news sources fell for this hoax hook, like and sinker. Now, however, it seems the sources with eggs on their faces have pulled them from their pages. See e.g. here or this page. Lots of blogs fell for it, too. See e.g. metafilter. 3:59:42 AM    comment []
