Matthew Perpetua and Fluxblog make the NY Times, fame and fortune is his

-- Tim Finney (tfinne...), October 18th, 2004.

Why?

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.

and my lame points will increase by 10.

I'd say that Matt's the bomb or something, but I'm clearly biased.

its grown on me somewhat ..

.. she is now back in NYC after a mad few weeks promotion over in uk

even i even managed a few minutes on the phone with her was scared at first .. but had a riot of fun actually ..

onwards! m.e/ireallylovemusic

Digable Planets/"Blowout Comb" – Now that the jazz-influenced rap trio has reunited and will headline Chicago's Lollapalooza festival, it's time to dust off this 1994 album, which, in retrospect, was waaaay ahead of its time. The Planets got out of beatnik mode and started messing with some harder beats, and the results are funkier and a little angrier than the group's debut, Reachin'.

www.fluxblog.org – At this MP3 blog, art begets art. Cartoonist John Cei Douglas interprets Spoon's "The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine" in graphic short story form. "Valentine," by the way, is one of several sweeping, epic rock songs on the Austin band's latest, Gimme Fiction, due Tuesday.

Lil' Jon and the East Side Boyz, "Crunk Juice" (expanded edition) – The bonus CD features two notable mixes of "What U Gon' Do:" a version with reggaeton stars Daddy Yankee and Pitbull and one with dancehall rappers Elephant Man and Lady Saw. Also, you get Lil' Jon's remix of Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina," which is, in case you didn't know, the party jam of the year.

Bring on the NY Times.

Congrats.

more obscure than what you find on commercial radio.

what an odd thing to say

Why Lindsay Buckingham, why now? Did I miss an explanation post?

Over the past few months I have become fascinated by Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac. I had always liked their music but for whatever reason this stuff has become a lot more interesting and resonant for me recently...Also, I figured that there were probably a significant number of readers who either were not very aware of Lindsey’s music or hadn’t given it much thought.

Considering who likely reads Fluxblog in 2011, this is probably true.

Cuz Corny is the new Cool, fool!

^still true

Because Buckingham sounded prescient in 2010

Fake Matador Bulletin Board

I don't think the real Matador Bulletin Board is online anymore either lol

i lurked on barbelith for years, it was grate

it was a bulletin-board style site similar to (but much uglier than) ILX for nerds to argue about 90s indie rock (Pavement, primarily). Morbz, Johnny Fever, and several other ILXors gradually migrated over here

xp

lol of course you were there, bg

it was relevant to my interests

in the days before wikipedia that was p useful for parsing Morrison's references

goths detected

i never had the patience required for the makeup tbh

lol no one's ever accused me of being a goth before

I don't even like Joy Division

Morrison's fanbase of that time was only part goth

at least compared to another Vertigo writer who'd wrapped up a series in the mid 90s

it's a continuum

show me a chart

most of the data is lost to the internet, i'll have to rely on guesswork and prejudice

on a scale of occasional guyliner to custom all-black wardrobe...

It's long gone, though I sometimes still go to click it in my bookmarks and remember it's not there.

I don't even like Joy Division

the goth "I don't even own a television"

lol

I posted on Barbelith too (though not that much), and I've always been far from a goth. I assume Invisibles fans were probably more likely to be ravers, like the protagonists?

i never had the patience required for the makeup tbh

so you keep insisting, strangely urgently

stop harassing me, if i get even a little verklempt this eyeliner is done

FMBB - wow hadn't thought about that place in like a decade (was mostly a lurker). that and the Joos board were my go-tos

everyone here is goth, sorry

Bruh, how am I just now learning bg and mh were on Barbelith. I was a mod up in that mug, yo. Mind blown rn.

lmao what the fuck

were you haircare on barbelith too?

Arthur Sudnam, it was my Other Pseudonym.

i def remember that name! spent a few minutes earlier browsing through barbelith via the wayback machine - amazed at how many of those posters i remembered vividly

i think i might have ended up at ilx for the first time via it being mentioned offhandedly in a flux post, so i guess matty p is directly to blame for my benighted presence on this board

He told me directly to check this place out, so clearly he has much to answer for.

yet again i am moved to wonder whether we are in fact the same person

I'm yrev very glad you've accepted the truth, old friend.

*where is my mind starts playing in the distance as i/we reach out to hold hands with helena-bonham carter*

did they only send the corny fux from that board over here or what

;)

when barbelith sends its people, they're not sending their best, okay

FMBB ruined my life.

Yr welcome

I've been enjoying some of his recent genre-based Spotify playlists: http://www.fluxblog.org/2020/08/oops-all-playlists/

Interesting
