If you don't see the problem with the entire thing, please just get an AARP card and quit playing music.

Nah. The hate was even stronger when he posted a non-video tune right before the utter demise of Harmony Central. We all seemed to have the distinct impression he wanted to be making a NIN song in the nineties, but he just didn't have the balls, brains, or musical sense to get there. Plus the entire song was supposedly a backhand to the face of the "whiners" that didn't like what was happening with HC, but actually just sounded like him whining that people didn't like his brilliant ideas that were gonna save the world.
At least this clip didn't bother with the self-worshipping lyrical content.
Agree with all of that
My point was that the actual music in that video is not much different than some background music i hear when i went out to eat dinner in south beach last year or some hipster wannabe DJ is spinning someplace.
Yea the restaraunts i went to had background music

I'm just surprised he didn't have to hit each note two or three times before it would go through.

It wasnt Anderton
It was a bunch of fellow HCers, we were monitoring/watching for the 1 million post and it happened to be mine, i forgot who told me i was mine (johnnys go the blues i think) but it was a off topic issue and he said it was mine
That clip wasnt as bad as i anticipated, flame away

It's not as bad as expected, it's just the goofy dance he's doing... it's awkward, like remember Elaine's dance on Seinfeld?

Didn't watch the video but you guys don't like old people, particularly if they're white and they're dancing. Does that summarize it accurately?

I liked the first couple of Chemical Brothers albums, but I'm happily clueless about whether that was Techno or not. I don't like that endlessly repetitive Ibiza stuff. I think it's fairly hilarious that people think 64 repetitions of something is some sort of genius. Mostly I'm a bit jealous I can't defraud people and get rich off of it, but oh well.

Hell, I am an old bastard, but I know I should never immortalize myself like that on video. In private with the curtains drawn and a mirror, sure. But never on video.

I think that you may have missed the joke. But it wasn't that funny so it's OK.
