"His album Pi not only predated track two on Kate Bush's Aerial by several months, but also outdoes it by several hundred digits."

i hope it's as good as mark sinker's wiki.

It is believed - though by who none can say - that it was Sinker who laid the foundations for the world's lamest joke; "What do you call it when Arabic terrorists drive an airplane into some wood?" "Pine eleven!"

Fans of that Wikipedia entry may also wish to check the edit histories of those for Fluxblog and Simon Reynolds.

Ned, don't act so surprised. I know you logged out and started this thread.

He's already on there:

In the wiki for Swans, and in the one for Cocteau Twins (being quoted as "Neg Raggett").

look about 7 posts down and see people cruely and without proper referencing steal Mark Sinker's finest hour.

"Ned Faggot writes that "part of her appeal is how she can make hard-to-interpret lyrics so emotionally gripping."[1]"

Matthew Perpetua is the creator of Fluxblog, and is considered by many to be a pioneer of the mp3 blog format. He was born on August 5 1979 and currently lived New York. He graduated from Parsons School of Design in 2002 with a BFA degree in photography. Matthew Perpetua has never heard any music by black people.

Matthew Perpetua has never heard any music by black people.

not even close to being true.

He graduated from Parsons School of Design in 2002 with a BFA degree in photography.

parsons is a GREAT school. one of the best reputations of any art school in the united states.

BFA degree in bloblography.

― amon (eman), Sunday, 13 November 2005 01:49 (twenty years ago)

When the "Matthew Perpetua has never heard any music by black people" wikipedia was pointed out to me the other day, I had this really conflicted reaction, half "what the fuck, what an asshole, since when do I not listen to music by black people" and "ha, that's a pretty funny bit of assholery."

I did go to Parsons, though.

I was expecting the Simon Reynolds wikipedia history to say something like "He is also responsible for bringing rockist principles into the discussion of dance music. Well done, Simon Reynolds!".

i am just as famous as swans if not more

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!, Sunday, 13 November 2005 11:55 (twenty years ago)

I just found out a couple days ago that I'm cited as a reference in the "Sk8er Boi" entry. This could become dangerous.

― Sundar (sundar), Sunday, 13 November 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago)

Oh you love it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 13 November 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

Ned's, your Wikipedia entry is lacking a link to your fan page. Also, I didn't know you're in a Band.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 13 November 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

Heh, you're right, Ned.

― Sundar (sundar), Sunday, 13 November 2005 23:27 (twenty years ago)

Ha, don't tell Alex in NYC, but I'm cited as a reference in the entry for Patti Smith's Horses!
