That's a bit unfair, I dunno about his reviews but i've seen excellent lex posts full of insight that have made me actually want to check out whatever hes writing about.

"for example would LOVE to see the seward version of this"
thanks, but you know what, i'm inspired by marcello. he's basically writing a book on his blog and that seems like the way to go for me. just gonna keep posting essay-length things on my blog when i feel inspired (perhaps linking things thematically as if they were chapters), and when i have enough stuff, maybe see if anyone is interested in publishing. i do like the idea of real books.

i do like the idea of real books.
I do too, and it's my wish to publish one in the next few years, but my conflict has always been how much attention to give non-fiction versus fiction, in addition to not wanting to surrender a quite decent job. I don't know. Confession time: I've been glum the last seven or eight weeks wondering what or the hell I'm writing for; although my blog gets a decent hit count I don't know whether it matters. I still do the occasional professional reviewing job. I just tell myself to keep writing, that the writing is its own defense. I don't ever envision a moment when I'll say the hell with it: I love it too much and I need it, pure and simple. But the question of who the audience is never fades.

http://www.housingworks.org/events/detail/fluxblog-live-10-years-of-perfect-tunes-with-rob-sheffield-emily-gould-mark
The world’s first mp3 blog celebrates its first 10 years with a live event featuring Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork editor-in-chief Mark Richardson, Emily Gould, Amanda Petrusich, Dick Valentine of Electric Six, Heather D’Angelo of Au Revoir Simone, Amy Rose of Rookie and other special guests. Each guest, along with Fluxblog proprietor Matthew Perpetua, will share a song and talk about it – basically replicating the Fluxblog format on stage.
He's still running with this idea, huh? I wish he would just say "one of" the first instead of THE first. Doesn't diminish Fluxblog's pedigree, but is also factual.

i was gonna say that iirc the little capsule bio on his twitter includes the 'first mp3 blog' line but looking at it now it doesn't, so i guess he changed it pretty recently

I will give him credit due for keeping the thing going for 10 years with almost no vacations, though. Every time I start a new blog, I'm already sick of it in a month.

― tylerw, Monday, 25 June 2012 20:01 (eleven years ago) link
this event will only be fun if, in the middle of one contributor's talk, someone else shouts "REMIX!" and takes over the discussion, talking about the song from a totally different starting point/angle

― Johnny Fever, Monday, 25 June 2012 20:10 (eleven years ago) link
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

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.

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.

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"
