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

ooh I hope that happens

I genuinely like that idea from an audience and performance point of view, but it's not rly ~fluxblog~. dude probably posts one remix a year, and only one in ten years of something he's already posted

Settling in nicely. MT @perpetua: I compiled the ickiest Nickelback lyrics about sex for you. http://bit.ly/UHdSM4

It's the equivalent of seeing the insufferably pretentious art student you used to know end up painting murals on the side of a McDonalds.

This fucking guy.

is that what 'get something in my vertical' means?!

people on tumblr are hilariously pissed about this when its lol perpetua

90% of the shit people hate on MP about is just so deeply sad.

God. I'd be geeked too if Alyssa Milano shared something I wrote with gazillions of followers, which is all that's going on here. Whoever this ninety9 person is needs to take a leap.

xp The subtext so often seems to be, "why don't that many people pay attention to me?"

Seriously?

I lolled at "Wikipedia page"

i dunno i basically agree with that post

Look, MP has infuriated me plenty of times for one reason or another, but he's just that way and he's truly harmless and if anyone's going to pick on him I'd rather it be people who actually like him and not some assholes on tumblr.

summary: "I want attention for making a pissy tumblr post about Perpetua making a Facebook wall post about some retweet he got from an actress from an 80's sitcom for a post he made that was put together from a Wikipedia page"

like the subtext of his fb thing is definitely less "oh cool a celebrity shared something i wrote" and more "i'm so blown away that a dumb celebrity might listen to music i approve of"

that post is dumb imo who cares, its his personal fbook wall

summary: "I want attention for making a pissy tumblr post about Perpetua making a Facebook wall post about some retweet he got from an actress from an 80's sitcom for a post he made that was put together from a Wikipedia page"

Straight up question, Johnny: do you like the Buzzfeed model of writing or not?

lol xp

LMAO whiney

i kind of have the dopest brag tho, one of my articles for fader was tweeted by Pam Grier

/stunts like perpetua

The only time I ever see anything on Buzzfeed is when someone else links to it, so I don't feel qualified to judge it accurately. That said, it's basically a tumblr itself with millions of dollars poured into it.

whiney can you post that ed droste tweet in here

i understand why people loathe perpetua but that tumblr thing is seriously reaching for something that totally isn't there

something i wrote was once tweeted by how to dress well :((((((((((((((((((((((((

m-perp is such a pompous div, only thing wrong with that post is that they haven't learned to ignore him yet

Exhibit A: this thread. Dude's perspective/style/interests haven't changed appreciably in ten years but he goes from being a low-ish profile blogger/ILXor who people here generally at least got along with and were moderately respectful towards to being someone with a higher profile who a lot of people love to shit on and make hilaaaarious fat jokes about. I know some people have legitimate beef with him, but I seem to encounter way less legit criticism than petty bitching wrt MP.

hey i thought he was a twat 10 years ago too

So did I. I'm disturbed by the way he writes about women, and that post about Milano kind of pings on that scale.

ninety9 is titled after an xkcd punchline = he or she can get fucked no matter the merits imo

"up in my vertical" is o_O and "So, if nothing at all, I succeeded in making the daughter from Who’s the Boss? think about, and potentially listen to, Stereolab and Yo La Tengo for at least few seconds" is fuckin heinous, yes.

do i have to choose a side here, is what i'm asking
