MP3 blogs are a dime a dozen, but it's difficult to find a site that offers consistent material. Matthew Perpetua's "Fluxblog" (www.newflux.blogspot.com) functions as a kind alternate pop universe where the hits are catchier and more obscure than what you find on commercial radio. On any given day you're as likely to hear Japanese noise rock as forgotten soul tracks, all from little-known labels that need the exposure. "Fluxblog" gives you all the benefits of having a music-geek friend without having to listen to him go on and on about some Belgian crunk-techno remix.
Not so much Jean-Paul Belmondo as Fluxblog Belcrunkno. *is brutally beaten*

The SPIN magazine article is out now too, it's in the issue with Green Day on the cover. I kinda hate the photo of me (but I hate all photos of me, so it's got nothing to do with Reuben Cox), but Jon Caramanica's article about mp3 blogs is by far the best one to date.

Yeah, the only ("only"...I admit to a clear bias) skin I have in this game is knowing MP on a personal level. Even being intimately involved with Fluxblog for years, I never made (or expected) a dime. I have no issue with people critiquing his writing. Shit just always tends to get overly-personal here, which is doubly shitty since he isn't even around anymore to defend himself.

Regardless of your opinion of the Big Perp, I will say this: I wholly approve of the "vertical" form of content dumping rather than those stupid click-thru slideshows... Particularly when they're editorial-free on sites like Buzzfeed.
So basically what I'm saying is: give me more big Perp all up in my vertical.
