Philth-Y Presents: Battle of the Blogosphere - Fluxblog vs Stereogum II

That's right people - two of the most heralded and trend setting music blogs in the world will duke it out behind the decks for Philth-Y's monthly get down, Weds, January 18th at Luke & Leroy. 9pm kick-off. Drink Specials from 9-10pm. As always Philth-Y's got Sneaker giveaways from Converse and clothing/skate deck giveaways from 55 DSL.

Now entering its fifth year on the internet, Matthew Perpetua's Fluxblog.org is a pioneer of the mp3 blog movement. The site is known for covering an eclectic range of music, but mainly pushing its "fluxpop" aesthetic, which Pitchfork's Scott Plagenhoef describes as "tracks with a pop sensibility and communicative, crossover potential that are nevertheless more often transferred via 0's and 1's than Hot 97's or Radio Ones." Fluxblog has been either featured or referenced in the NY Times, LA Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN, The Guardian (UK), Newsweek, Wall St. Journal and Chicago Tribune among others.

Also entering its fifth year, Stereogum.com has been named Best Music Blog by Spin, Teen People and Forbes. Even Newsweek thinks it's hot. The site examines music through the prism of popular culture, and with over 500,000 unique visitors a month, it's safe to say it's the place for "indie yuppies" to discover the latest buzz bands. Site founder Scott Lapatine was recently ranked USAToday.com's 76th Top Person of 2005. Scott will be joined on the decks by co-bloggers Jim Jazwiecki and Jed Teres.

These guys can obviously hold it down on the internet - but can they DJ? Come find out...Weds, January 18th @ Luke & Leroy. 9pm.
