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"
― earth of (snoball), Thursday, 3 January 2013 21:28 (eleven years ago) link
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"

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.― Johnny Fever, Thursday, January 3, 2013 4:12 PM (17 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

/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.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 3 January 2013 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
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

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.

― lex pretend, Thursday, 3 January 2013 21:47 (eleven years ago) link
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

I respect Fluxblog from the limited exposure I have to him, but he hasn't actually turned me on to any quality new music in yonks, he tends to angle for the lowest common denominator now, and basically I stopped paying attention since he rated a Skrillex song highly.
― viborg, Friday, 4 January 2013 16:35 (eleven years ago) link
But I guess Skrillex is making "UK-dubstep" now.
So which ILXor was big perp?

he went under the tricky psuedonym "Matthew Perpetua"

He also talks about Counting Crows and the Outhere Brothers in that post, I would love it if those entries turned out to be sole focus of her interest.

alyssa milano was in commando. was perpetua in commando? i think not. she's way cooler than most people. did you know her dad is a hotshot hollywood music editor for the movies? does spiderman movies and stuff.
her albums weren't so hot though...

i think her albums were asia-only or something. but she did a ton of singles and albums. all on youtube seemingly.

since when was yo la tengo some kind of barometer of rarified quality? jesus
the condescension and self-big-ups are, how you say, insupportable; i wouldn't write the tumblr post just because i don't have the energy for that kind of screenshotting and outrage but i completely understand it
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 January 2013 18:14 (eleven years ago) link
does "my vertical" mean like a "column", i.e. his blog or whatever? so "get something up in my vertical" means "post something to my blog"?
i have to admit i thought it was a synonym for eating at first, like maybe his vertical was his neck or something
