"Hey, We The Living, uh, plus Perezhilton.com equals AAGGGHHHH!!!" *click*
Yes, that is correct... today, celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton posted about none other than We The Living. Perez is not known for being the most classy human being on earth, but his site gets millions of hits each day. Every so often he likes to post about a band he's come across, and today, that happened to be WTL. I don't know how or where he heard about them, but he did, and apparently he liked what he heard.
The actual post (including standard imbecile comments from people who have nothing better to do) can be found here. For all his shortcomings, Perez does tend to have good taste in music, and when he posts about music, people listen. In the past, he's caused unknown musicians to shoot to the top of iTunes. I'm not saying that will happen here, but it was a HUGE publicity boost for them. They've had 13,800+ plays on their myspace player from today alone and who knows how many new friend requests. [Note: As of midnight, the play count for the day was 17,175] In other words, this is pretty big.
Congratulations, boys.
