Muzik Is The Answer

Filed under: Personally Perez > Music Minute

This is one of the biggest honours we've ever received - so much so that we had to add the extra 'u' in honour!

Blender magazine has just named Perezito to their "Powergeek 25" list.

Beyond rad!!!!

“The Powergeek 25” ranks the 25 most powerful and influential people in the web music business.

Says Blender editor-in-chief Craig Marks, “Music fans spend much of their day, if not their life, sitting in front of their computer, discovering and downloading music. But just who are the behind-the-scenes players who shape those experiences? Today’s power brokers no longer work in the steel-and-glass towers of the traditional record business; instead, they’re tech geeks, bedroom bloggers and Silicon Valley visionaries."

Pete Wentz came in at #25. Apple's Steve Jobs landed the coveted #1 spot and Peepeerez came in comfortably in the middle at lucky #13.

Perez, you pig-faced porcupine fucker. Stay away from the rent boys, they carry disease and please, please, please explain how you can take so much Meth and still be so fat??? Is it a water retention thing? You are a twat and not worth the sperm it would take to fill your bottomless gullet. Go back to your trough/glory-hole and keep eating, pigs like you never get full.

call perez a pig-faced porcupine fucker if you will. call him fat and ugly and a shameful bastard for ridiculing children like dakota fanning… BUT, he has always been super supportive of new music. although those people mentioned (the gossip, mika, lily allen, amy winehouse) i first read on this website. i also think he's responsible for leona lewis being heard in the states.

Perez! You must start your own music label!! All of my fave music lately, I found out about from your site. Fionn Regan is a genius and I'd never have known about him without you. Seriously, you have great taste for unique, quirky and fun music.
Becka says – reply to this

39

You people have got to be fucking kidding me. You're actually -still- complaining about Perez posting about himself on HIS blog? Need I reiterate? IT'S HIS BLOG! You hate him making posts concerning himself, but yet you still come back here and read it AND take the time to comment!

And seriously, fat jokes? That's all you have? It's like you can't think of anything worse so you resort back to insults that require the least amount of thinking on your part. Way to go, you look cool.
