Not sure. I found a couple contemporaneous comments back and forth between him and @dag before he disappeared, but they seem to have vanished. (Seriously @dag, if that's not true, please tell me.) He'd been mildly trolling MFers for a while, but nothing really awful unless it was private. There was also a killed video that I didn't really understand, but I think it was some kind of asshat retaliation. Other than that, there wasn't really much. I've seen other banned members held before multiple tribunals before being exonerated for a whole lot more. Btw, there were a LOT of members I wanted to invoke in that post for being the reasons I joined, like you, like @Sarzy, like @Eklek, @Fletch, @jwray, @lucky760, @spoco2, @gwiz665, @mintbbb, @gorgonheap, @Issykitty, @JAPR, @ant, @videosiftbannedme, @Trancecoach, and on and on and on. We used to create the quality here; now, it seems, we're subject to it. It'd be nice to live up to our reputation.

Yeah, what exactly happened there??

Hey, buddy. I don't know whether you'll be checking your profile much now that you've been sent on the CircleLine cruise, but I wanted to tell you that I for one am rather disgusted by the way this played out.

@JAPR: thank you so much for the opportunity to downvote this POS tune.

Jefferson Airplane? Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Wow, beautiful stuff. I'm torn between the convenience of living near large cities and the sheer beauty of being farther removed from all the dead grey concrete in favor of close access to beauty like this.
Edit: lol overuse of "beauty" much?


I'd rather be lost in the woods than found in the city...

Why did you do that to me?

Also @JAPR, this new pop scene looks like it's hear to stay. If this article is to be believed, Boom Boom Pow sold over 4 million copies digitally in '09. Whatever this shit is, a lot of people are throwing their money at it; the music business is gonna milk that cow dry.

@JAPR
dude, that landing was real. there's no viral about it.

I mean, come on, the cuts give it away even before the prominent advertisement written on the concrete block behind them.

what? it looks like this is a clip of an episode of some dumb jackass rip-off show. it says so in the yt description and provides a link. if someone showed you a clip of the office and had a link to nbc would you call that viral?


Yeah, but look at the reactions everyone had to it...if the clip was reposted in other places without that context stated, as here, people just see somebody fuck up at something...rather than a planned stunt of a dude falling (from not that high at all, I've jumped off roofs of that height with little pain from impact at landing, it seems to me that he's not in any true pain at all at the end there, and definitely didn't break anything). I noticed the youtube account and thus edited my comment to reflect my reinterpretation.

The prominent synth hook sounded good enough on this with a real band backing it that I just blocked out the lyrics and was almost able to enjoy this song purely based off of the fair compositional quality, but then I remembered that it stands for so much that I hate and it slipped away.


Well I believe the house band for the Jimmy Fallon show is "the Roots". Can't go wrong there...
