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

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.

back when she only had around 10k followers she accidentally retweeted a goatse link i sent her. good times

okay you win

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

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.

terrible images of getting something in my vertical vs polishes coinslot :(

omg

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 didn't remember her releasing albums. That is dreadful.

probably better than this 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

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

yeah it's a stupid web 2.0 term for, like, a topic section of a website

ohhhhh right like "we're developing a new vertical, it's targeted at women so it's about food and babies"

"and looking good"

"was about to say"

or how the nyt style section is basically a "vertical" for hideous douchebags?

yeah basically. except I don't think the style section has a clickable "hideous douchebag" link in their ~tag cloud~

max I think did a funny post about Huffington Post having a sideboob vertical but I'm not gonna google "huffpo sideboob" from work so I can't find it

i'll be back in just a little while
so i can get some vertical
smile
ANNIHILATE x 3
ALL WEEK LONG

chlamydia i think

Jesus this was his FACEBOOK, it's like getting mad because you heard someone bragged about something in a text

i never let that stop me before!

welcome to Social Justice Tumblr

almost always correct, almost always insufferable

It's a (sort of) privately-expressed opinion that sheds light on attitudes that are relevant to his work. It's not worth getting mad over but it is illuminating. Actually it isn't really, it's not remotely surprising that Perpetua would condescend to young girls while holding po-faced reverence for past-it indie bands.

"young girls" like the 40-year-old alyssa milano?

Bro if yer calling that old fuq you

LOL this is insanity

well he calls her the daughter from who's the boss so he basically still thinks she's a young girl

It'd be funnier if he thought she really was the character from Who's the Boss irl

I am human and I need to be loved.

Just like everybody else does.

well he calls her the daughter from who's the boss so he basically still thinks she's a young girl

oh come on

itt we debate what constitutes a "young girl"

this guy is totally sexist in how he treats "girls"

itt we talk about po-facedness

if he had called her one of the charmed sisters from charmed it'd indicate he basically thinks she's a witch

no proof to the contrary iirc

like seriously yall have devolved into just finding stuff to latch on to. pretty lame imo

The fact that this continues to be a conversation is maybe the most pathetic thing I've seen on ILX in ages.

christ you can't even make fun of a blogger anymore around here

more pathetic than that captain keef thread?

A thread we can go to when an ILX beef gets out of hand and we don't understand wtf is going on

Lol @ captain keef

My bad, Alyssa Milano and virtually everything she's been in has basically zero profile over here and I didn't bother to actually google her. That was a pretty dumb assumption to jump to on my part, but he IS actually talking about her like she's a young girl. Like why is he giving himself a pat on the back for a 40-year old having listened to or (gasp) thought about not-terribly-obscure records that have been around half her lifetime?

Because Alyssa Milano did, at one time, have a terribly high profile over here, especially among people in Perpetua's age group, and it's like I said way upthread...he probably feels pretty cool atm for making a list that she saw and liked enough to retweet to a gazillion people. Perpetua hate amongst certain groups on ilx is way over the top.

tbh m-perp has said far more vicious and poisonous things than anyone itt
