We Were Trying To Keep This A Secret
Filed under: Personally PerezWe're working on this very cool new thing, which we weren't quite ready to announce yet.
But, The New York Times has just written THIS ARTICLE about it.
Let's hope it doesn't jinx things. It's not a done deal yet!
But, we're very very excited about the possibility.
It will happen. It will!

that would be awesome perez. you've got pretty good taste in music and have managed to actually pin point the next "big thing" on more than one occasion. this is super exciting! congrats and good luck
Best of luck Mario - hope it all goes through OK
Fuck This. Since when does being a immature blogger who doodles and makes fart jokes entitle one to make more money? Bitch, all you do is STEAL information and Mp3's, photos, and videos from other websites and put it on here as your OWN!! There is no thought behind any of it. Why isn't anyone calling you out for never having ANY original info on this site besides your fucking scrawls a down syndrome baby could make??? WAKE UP.
Are people really this fucking stupid? You are nasty, ugly, fat, and rude. Your TV "Show" was a joke and a half. You are not funny and You are not smart. What a shame thats what it takes to get anywhere…like you always say, I guess people like trainwrecks.
There are so many out there who are so well prepared, intelligent, and funnier, and shit..NICER than you who don't steal and act like fat children. Fucking explode, fatty.
to me u lose credibility
now ur being paid to reccomend music
its more genuine when u do it for free
I always knew your were more then just another pretty face
congrats, Perez! you have good taste! so do you like country fried metal? slim jim and the mad cows on myspace. doesn't Slim Jim look like Ryan Dunn?
wow
Congrats!!!! Good luck !!!
Congrats, Perez! If you ever need a Canadian partner in crime…holla!
what a fucking joke. i dont care if anyone reads this but its a fucking hahahaha joke.
mika=not freddy mercury but twice as gay and twice as bad and not in a good way!
gossip=nothings cool, unless fat 80s janis rip-offs are in!
bring it on!!!!!! hope you get sent straight to clear channel so you will only be able pump up gay artists as long as the never openly say they' re gay. funny u r out and still having to stroke it with u and ur dog even tho u r rich and apparently an 'icon'. would you please just die?? that day i bet america would have a tear surplus…oh and ps, long live cuba and fuck u if u think u anything about it.
think about the straight equivalent of perez….whoever it might be, its still a fucking chump. glad to comment.
Rock on Pez!…..thats awesome
i would so ejaculate if this didn't go thru.
sellout
Congrats! That is major cool.
yay perez!!
Perez, ignore the haters! This is great news, and i'm very much looking forward to this happening. You're perezcious and we love you! xxx
Congrats Perez! That awesome!!!!!
Way to go Perez. Good luck.
sounds like a good idea in writing but will it play out? it seems like it is super hard to have success in the recording industry. maybe make it so people can download the songs on the site here for a fee. hmm. just a thought. i hope it works out but usually when things go mainstream the coolness wears off.
GOOD LUCK PAPITO. TELL TEDDY I SAID HI. LUV YA !!!
congrats mario/perez
love from Norway
Cool, Perez! Congrats!
The record industry is dead you dummy, only you would enter a DYING field…
Wow Perez - I finally have something nice to say about you. I bet you didn't know I always come back to the listen to this links to find those artists again. I have always thought the music you posted is dead on, 90% of the time.
Congrats, hope it goes through.
ur sooo weird!! dont keep it a secret
Are you all a bunch of idiots? Perez is nothing but a whore for an increasingly desperate music company. The minute he takes a paycheck there will be no more honest promotion of good music simply because it's good. His new pimps will want him to push the music THEY want to promote—believe it. Nuthin's free.
ur sooo weird!! dont keep it a secret…wouldjablowme??
Good Luck, Perez! You deserve it. Hope you get to do it your way and the negotiations are successful!!! LUV YA!
Re: Kim – JEALOUS??? LOL!!
This explains everything…in a Britney post the famewhoring Perez said, "the very respectable NYTimes…" How laughable is that?? This explains it all — a supposed deal in the works. Sad day - just post celeb photos and gossip (no commentary - you're an idiot in the ways of the world).
but you have shit taste in music??
amen, amen. i discovered amy winehouse, jenny owen youngs, and mika through you; they're 3 of my favorite artists. wanna send me a little of that 100 grand? =D
"Like Lemminigs to the sea"….oh, man, if YOU'RE a "tastemaker" then we are all doomed.
The end is near
this is scary
Perez: Congrats. I just read about your new venture in the Times, as well as the article about you in the Times in London. Good luck and all the best! I discovered Feist thanks to you, and I now own all her albums.
Good for you! Networking baby! As you no dont ever let anyone tell you all you are is _.
Don't do it! You'll have to hype up their artists…even if you don't really like them, and you'll lose your cred for having a personal opinion. Ppl know you're just getting paid to do it, so there's no guts behind the backing!
I am so happy for you! Good Luck
Re: Catie – Catie-this ass has no taste in music and is no pioneer. If you really want to pick up on new acts, have a look at pitchfork.com or even rolling stone. The whole world knew about Amy Winehouse before this old fart. You won't learn anything new here. Those in the know piss themselves over his music recommendations!
I love it, it will totally happen for you only because you're so FUCKING AWESOME!!!! Hugs and kisses.
Not that my opinion really matters but I am excited and rooting for you Perez. I think you have a great eye for emerging musicians and I like that you find them outside the US as well. Just try to keep them off drugs, bring them advise if you can cause you know that can bring them down real fast. Kudos to you.
conflict of interest anyone???
would you consider this selling out?
AWSOME!!!!
It amazing that you (Perez) can make 'em or break em.
Love the site.
Neetd
OMGGG.. perez yo are taking over the world..YOU GO GIRL … I LOVE YOUUUUU
Whoa and I thought that you were just some sell out that was forced to advertise certain artists.
Go Perez!
AWSOME!!!!
It amazing that you (Perez) can make 'em or break em.
Love the site.
Neets
So, basically they are paying you to NOT trash their artists? Sell out!
About 80% of the music you put on here is so not my scene for music, but I love you Perez and think this would be great for you.
Congratulations! I've learned about some COOL SHIZ from you and I think this is terrific! Just don't go all corporate on us!
"Madonna’s leaving, Perez is coming.” I think that's all you need to know about Mario and his ego. Now he's the next Madonna!?!
100 grand a year isn't much, I'd ask for more.
WAY TO GO PEREZ!!! I LoVE YOU!!
Seriously. Since when does recommending a little known (PREVIOUSLY SIGNED) artist give you the credibility to have any power at a record label?Oh that's right, the music industry is shit anyway, might as well put you in charge of something as the cherry on top of the mountain of crap!
Wow Perez that is great! You definitely have an ear for good music before most do.
Perez you WHORE! Get on with your bad self!
P-REZ: I'm one of the ones that's always BEGGING you to be a little more positive! I WANT ALL READERS TO TAKE NOTE ON PAGE ONE TODAY….HEY, IT'S ALL PRETTY GOOD STUFF! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! THERE ARE A FEW JABS HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING LIKE THE MEANS SPIRITED STUFF AND YOUR COMMENTS ON PEOPLES APPEARANCES! I THINK THIS COULD BE A GOOD THING FOR YOU AND MAYBE YOU COULD EVEN GET THE CELEBS ON YOUR SIDE! IF YOU POST ALL REALLY AWESOME THINGS ABOUT THEM FOR A WHILE AND JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
CONGRATS….IT'S ACTUALLY ENJOYABLE AND DOESN'T MAKE ME WANT TO CRINGE! STAY POSITIVE P REZ!!
im happy for you…
wow you are quite the sell out
WTG Very Cool
Perez,
What a wonderful coop for you.It will happen because your star is rising quickly.
You have scratched from the bottom with some of the hardest work seen in Hollywood in a very long time.You so deserve all the kudos coming your way.I have truly enjoyed watching you and your site grow from the ground up.Stay true to yourself!
Congrats Perez…..Seriously you deserve it…..You deserve it because you use your voice to market artists that would never be heard because huge labels only put out material that they think will bring great revenue…You have helped many talented and deserving artists share their love and their music….yes you could be a an asshole but that's besides the point….the point is you've done soemething good for music… so congrats!!!!
SUCK IT, BELEN… Not bad for a Cubanito from MIA!!
GOOD FOR YOU! Don't worry: LO QUE 'STA PA' TI, NADIE TE LO QUITA
KUDOS! Way to go Perez!
YAY FOR PEREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You deserve this sooo much !!!!!!!!!
Congratualtions, Perez! I hope this works out for you! Much love!
Whatever you do.. DO NOT SELL YOUR SOUL!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it's music you actually like and is good and not something Warner Brothers is trying to promote. Stay strong Perez!!!!
I don't care for some of Perez's musical choices, but I also don't have an ear for the club or dance/trance scene, and he seems to. I just hope his musical picks stay true as opposed to doing favors now that money's involved. Remember payola or currying favors to lobbyists who fund your campaign, P. Great gig for Perez if he can get it, as his site has a huge influence numbers wise. Happy for.:)
bull-fucking-shit… now you have a vested interest in promoting bands, WARNER bands and any other musicretard schmuck that pays you off. way to go. your music picks were based on love now they will be on money. dickwad.
The problem is that once people know that you are getting paid for it, they will not trust you as much. I say this one coming.
That is awesome Perez. The artists you suggest always spend at least a day on my myspace….I love your suggestions!!!! Congrats
That will be amazing!!!!
Really perez? Really??
I think it's fair to say Perez is a freakin' Icon ~ I adore you Perez & wish you nothing but success ! It is all well deserved. You bring a little bit of "Hollywood" to people everywhere. I am a 35 yr old Midwest Mom and yet I feel like I am "in the loop" because I log on everyday (sometimes 3 x's)
From one Diva to Another - you're fabulous !
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
you totally deserve this!!
you're getting sued by JIVE, that's freakin awesome!!
i love you perez baby, but karma's a biaaatch!!
suckaaaaa!!
p.s. i did enjoy those songs you release of britney's so thank you, hahahaha.
anything for your readers, right? right?! hahahaha!!
The opportunities you have are endless! Congrats! Just stay true! Don't let the man tell you what's what!
Good for you dude. Way to sell out. You will lose all credibiliity when posting about any music/artists but at least you'll have a steady paycheck!
Get off the internet and go back to school.
When you've learned proper grammer, come back =)
Sure wish you would listen to that H-O-T musician Mason Douglas…He's hot & sexy….yum!!!
they used an excellent picture of you! Love the hair!
sounds like you're continuing to sell out.

It's just funny that you were trying to keep a secret and you were outed (by the NY Times, nonetheless).
A bad, bad thing. The beginning of the end. You were becoming a true journalist Perez. This will obviously taint your views no matter what you say. DON'T DO IT. You'll make plenty of money being true to yourself.
Congrats, Perez!
Congratulations! You really do have great taste in music! Hopefully the deal works out! I'm looking forward to it!
felicidades perez!
que todo te valla bien
y suerte con tu success!! =]
yeyyy =]
That is awesome Perez! I wish you luck!!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!! I LOVE your site and i really hope that works for you!!!
loves and kisses for the wild west
…but it is true that you will most likely have to start sensoring what
you say =[ … not so yey.
Happy for you, but are you going to be able to keep up with your original day job?
they forgot to mention you have hideous taste in music.
Congratulations! I hope it works out for you!
Nice work!
you go girl!
I've discovered a lot of great music through you – you single-handedly made Amy Winehouse a household name against the establishment! Please keep up the great work and please also continue to feature international talent. I like those tidbits the best because we really don't celebrate international talent in music here in America as much as we should.
YOU SOLD OUT!!!! You just sold your freedom of speech. Now who knows if what you say is corporate sponsored or not. Too bad, I liked your site. Now you are no better than an infomercial, like Oprah.
i just read the article and want to congratulate you. although nothing's for sure yet, i think that it's a wonderful opportunity and wish you the best of luck. one of my favorite things about your website is finding about great music acts i may have never found on my own. like Ghostland Observatory, which is my favorite group and am planning on seeing them in may. thanks
I have to say, Perez…you do have great taste in music.
Congrats you big QUEEN! 
Perez, you're great at entertaining people with celebrity gossip, but you should listen to your own advice; people should stick to what they're good at! Except for some British stars who are famous already (Amy Winehouse,Adele, Lilly Allen…) most musicians you try to promote are rubbish… Just leave the music industry alone, please. The internet should be good enough for you.
Congrats Perez!! you've turned me on to so many new artists that are now my favorites. Good look with the venture!
