Jots
10.03.14 | Thanks for the shoutout Jac. You're probably my top pick for new Staff tbh along with maybe Treb and Nocte |
conesmoke
10.03.14 | And I luv every one of ya for it. m/ |
Jots
10.03.14 | he wrote a review less than a month ago. idk, maybe his output isn't as high as it should be.. meh |
Gyromania
10.03.14 | yah i agree with all of these |
ExplosiveOranges
10.03.14 | Thanks so much, Jac. Gotta agree with Johnny that you're my top pick for staff. |
Tyler.
10.03.14 | Johnny review math rock and you know what that's fine by me: ] |
Gyromania
10.03.14 | not really big on the list of contribs atm. i think jamie, menaw, and jac are the best pics for staff atm |
TalonsOfFire
10.03.14 | Even though I'm not on this list I agree and would probably vote you for new staff |
ExplosiveOranges
10.03.14 | smh arcade |

10.03.14 | Thelastsignal |
TalonsOfFire
10.03.14 | Haha it's all good man, me and oranges are gonna apply for contrib at the end of the year so fingers crossed |
Judio!
10.03.14 | If I had known these types of lists get featured, I would've made my list of 20 at this point lol. Still, these are all great picks of course.
Someone please make a list of contribs who should be staff and include me cuz I've had a bad week k thanks :] |
Judio!
10.03.14 | oh and list needs more thelastsignal |
TalonsOfFire
10.03.14 | It's too bad baron shitposted so much or else he would've made a great contributor |
ExplosiveOranges
10.03.14 | Trvth. Also, I haven't seen Mark (thelastsignal) in a while. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.03.14 | RIP #2 |
NervousBreakdown
10.03.14 | FiveLeavesLeft is a good user, I think he was contributor once though although he doesn't show up anymore. Rowan5215, TalonsOfFire, PostMesmeric and thelastsignal are all good.
I enjoy a lot of Baron reviews, but he's only 14 so I don't he's old enough for the job. How does he shitpost so much though, maybe i'm just not there but idk what u mean by that. It's a shame he left, I wanted him to review more things. |
Gyromania
10.03.14 | fiveleaves was staff, actually |
TalonsOfFire
10.03.14 | He constantly complained about his life and wanting to be popular and his depression, and got lots of attention (mostly negative) from it. Not exactly professional, but then again he's 14. Yeah he was probably too young |
NervousBreakdown
10.03.14 | well writing is an outlet for anger and emotion so maybe he was just trying to get rid of all the pain? idk.
just cuz his life is shitty doesn't mean he can't be a good writer. and why the fuck is a 14 year old have
depression jesus christ
and fiveleaves was staff? did he resign? |
SharkTooth
10.03.14 | "jesus christ and fiveleaves was staff?"
got demoted due to pedophilia jokes and shitposting on the Babymetal thread |
SharkTooth
10.03.14 | "why the fuck is a 14 year old have depression"
I wonder the same thing tbh |
NervousBreakdown
10.03.14 | ahh okay, not sure what he said that warranted a demotion but whatever
but if baron was this piece of shit that you make him out to be, maybe it's best that he quit |
ExplosiveOranges
10.03.14 | All the Robs are worthy of staff tbh |
Trebor.
10.03.14 | lol |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | there's always a chance he might come back tho |
pedro70512
10.04.14 | I'd like to be contrib but I'd have to give up my staff position elsewhere. not quite worth the immunity. |
scottpilgrim10
10.04.14 | Great picks all around, especially Johnny for helping others out with their writing |
Judio!
10.04.14 | "Users Who Should Not Be Contribs:
Arcade
HolidayKirk"
wtf HolidayKirk is amazing dude |
Mort.
10.04.14 | Wait, did hong leave? |
Judio!
10.04.14 | he stopped commenting or something idk |
Judio!
10.04.14 | lmao |
Judio!
10.04.14 | "wtf HolidayKirk is amazing dude"
also Arcade is amazing!!!!!!! |
Judio!
10.04.14 | let's be real here, he brought the ridicule upon himself |
NecroticaLives
10.04.14 | Actually I'm 19. Who came up with the notion that I was 14? |
ChoccyPhilly
10.04.14 | Green Baron had thousands of posts of just "yes" and crap like that. Having a proper conversation in the comments were impossible cos he would draw out one point for like 5 comments, and even then it was vague. Just came across and unprofessional |
ChoccyPhilly
10.04.14 | If you want an example, we argued about this for like 3 pages, and i STILL couldn't understand his reasons.
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=63908&page=15#comments
I know I'm being petty, but conversing with him was infuriating in this instance |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | i just read that, and i think that conversing with YOU was infuriating. you were clearly in the wrong, but you wouldn't let up.
with that said, your descriptions changed my mind about baron. he's a piece of shit and it's for the best that he's gone. |
ChoccyPhilly
10.04.14 | i know i know, I was being a total shite too, but it was all in the moment for the most part |
Dancedrewdance
10.04.14 | Yeah Jonny deserves it more than anyone |
jagride
10.04.14 | "well writing is an outlet for anger and emotion so maybe he was just trying to get rid of all the pain?"
i would add a few extra question marks but that's a fitting epitaph for a 14 year old that quit a music site
dorks |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | trashing Baron is so fun though :(
like i read that list of his where he talked about high school and my god, i couldn't help but laugh at how miserable and hopeless his life is. |
ChoccyPhilly
10.04.14 | Back to the positive!
He's a good reviewer at least and it looks like he's going to continue posting revs |
NecroticaLives
10.04.14 | Oh never mind, you guys were talking about Baron being 14, not me. Gotcha |
ChoccyPhilly
10.04.14 | My comment also applies to you, Five! |
Dancedrewdance
10.04.14 | I hate you static |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | but if he's not positive, why should we? |
Rowan5215
10.04.14 | Aw cheers cunt
Although the most exciting thing about this list is that JAC IS BACK
But still thanks and I agree with the other picks too
Hoping me and my bro Oranges get promoted at the same time |
Lethean
10.04.14 | static gets 5 white ponies outta 5 |
Sowing
10.04.14 | I always love promotion season. It's like sputnik's version of Christmas morning. I'd advise all 3 of these dudes to at least apply, you never know what can happen. |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | on green baron's last.fm it says he thinks he might apply for contrib. someone tell him it's hopeless already |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | alright fine, i've tore at him enough already, i'll leave it be |
Lethean
10.04.14 | will u leave the kid alone |
Rowan5215
10.04.14 | Baron is fine y'all are just meanies |

10.04.14 | Static (for swagbob AOTY though) |
Frippertronics

Gnocchi
10.04.14 | Waiting for the next cycle, should be some great writers pumping things out in the next couple of months
Edit: Nice list Jac, should've had a couple more spots on it though. |
NecroticaLives
10.04.14 | The moment I return, I'm instantly switching my name back to Necrotica and returning to the good writing I did back in 2013. Gotta return to my roots |
ChoccyPhilly
10.04.14 | nevermind |
ExplosiveOranges
10.04.14 | "Waiting for the next cycle, should be some great writers pumping things out in the next couple of months"
Dude, apply for staff. |
emester
10.04.14 | Agree for oranges as contrib 20000000 to the third power percent |
Frippertronics
10.04.14 | Oranges will earn the right to become contrib once he conquers the Big Ass Wankers EP |
Gnocchi
10.04.14 | I don't think I can fully hold onto that position (if I got it (although I'll apply because I feel I should)). Baby on the way and a full-time job - I've written 11 reviews this year, a number which should probably bumping around the hundred mark. I run my own webzine which has hosted most of my reviews/interviews/etc (which is closer to the hundred mark).
If I miss out on the position, I'll continue being a veteran Contrib - showing the ropes to the new blood that the site continually attracts. There's some great writers here, as well as those on the Contrib roster that have worked harder/consistently towards moving to the site's upper tier. |
Torontonian
10.04.14 | you forgot BM and Green Baron. |
ChoccyPhilly
10.04.14 | lol don't go there again |
Torontonian
10.04.14 | ^sorry, didn't read the comments. Ya i'm sure they were mentioned already. :0 |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | i will say, how come we're all shitting on green baron now that he's not here to defend himself? couldn't we just tell him that while he was here? |
Jots
10.04.14 | "how come we're all shitting on green baron now that he's not here to defend himself? couldn't we just tell him that while he was here?"
- oh, they did |
Torontonian
10.04.14 | @nervousbreakdown i wasn't shitting on him at all. he actually writes some of the best reviews on this site. |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | but if everyone hated him then why does he have so many defenders?
i mean is that why he left or what |
Rowan5215
10.04.14 | Not everyone hated him but a lot of people gave him shit cos he was the little guy
now that he left it seems like people are feeling bad about it and defending him where they would've given him shit before
well done fellas |
Torontonian
10.04.14 | @nervousbreakdown he's a cool guy. half of sputnik is made up of assholes, hence the shit-talking. He really doesn't
deserve any of it though. |
ExplosiveOranges
10.04.14 | "If I miss out on the position, I'll continue being a veteran Contrib - showing the ropes to the new blood that the site continually attracts.

*salute* Godspeed, my friend.

10.04.14 | @torontonian whilst the crappy used is true, this is unforgivable and it wasnt the first time either:
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=848379&listid=149613 |
Torontonian
10.04.14 | bro i'm not gonna read the its 300+ posts but i can assume he was shit on pretty badly unfortunatley. Poor Baron. :( |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | "whilst the crappy used is true"
what does this mean? |
NervousBreakdown
10.04.14 | plus baron never finished his anberlin list before he left, so i have that against him. |
Hyperion1001
10.04.14 | havent really interacted with rowan too much so i cant really speak for him (sorry dude, ill go
read some of your stuff though!), but i think both johnny and explosive are great writers and i
hope to seem them continuing to work on their stuff and hopefully apply next round. |
Frippertronics
10.04.14 | He became one with the Tornado. He truly now is MisterTornado. |
BMDrummer
10.04.14 | hong just always acted like an awkward kid who was worried about getting the pussy, it was really easy to give him shit |

Rowan5215
10.04.14 | No harm done Hype I don't blame you
If you're interested, read the Vestascension review that's featured now and also my Manchester Orchestra, and Keaton Henson reviews those are the best of what I got |
Hyperion1001
10.04.14 | will do bro thanks |
ScuroFantasma
10.04.14 | great list, all 3 are great reviewers, and though I haven't spoken to Rowan much, Johnny and Explo are fantastic dudes too. |
Rowan5215
10.04.14 | You always seemed like a bro to me Scuro maybe we should have a man-date and shoot the shit sometime |
ScuroFantasma
10.04.14 | agreed man, I'd be up for that |

10.04.14 | "It's too bad baron shitposted so much or else he would've made a great contributor"

deathschool
10.04.14 | How is Jac not Staff? But yeah. I agree. These dudes are contrib level. |
Judio!
10.04.14 | deathschool should be staff tbh |
Mort.
10.04.14 | "hong just always acted like an awkward kid who was worried about getting the pussy, it was really easy to give him shit"
Fucking lol
|
Gnocchi
10.04.14 | While on the topic I'd put a personal vote in for thelastsignal (Mark)
Hell of a writer, fucking awesome dude. |
ScuroFantasma
10.04.14 | agreed, Mark is a fantastic reviewer. He hasn't been too active recently which is a shame, he's a great guy. |
Gnocchi
10.04.14 | He's been pretty busy lately - - off internet - - but he frequents my own webzine more than I do. |
TalonsOfFire
10.04.14 | I never disliked him though his complaining got on my nerves at times. He was a great reviewer especially for only being 14, but his young age also made him an easy target. He didn't deserve all the crap he got though despite all his whining. |
Snowdog808
10.04.14 | Frippertronics [3]
