Arpad Miklos has a new boyfriend, and he’s retiring from gay porn FOREVER!
Kidding, kidding! This is actually a still from a new music video by indie artist Perfume Genius. Nearly every other blog we read has written about it (with good reason), so we thought we’d jump on the bandwagon and pretend we’re as cool as them.
Hint! We are not as cool as them. In fact, we didn’t know shit about Mike Hadreas or Perfume Genius until this video came out. That said, he seems like a pretty cool guy! Here’s a quote from a piece on Pitchfork, in whicb he addresses the topic of being gay in the indie rock universe:
“I’m very conscious about it, but I also want it to not be a big deal. But I still get nervous. With this video, my boyfriend was like, ‘Are you sure you want to, you know, be so gay?’ But I think people are smarter than that. And if Rick in Pittsburgh or whatever isn’t going to listen to my music because I’m gay, fuck it.”
Perfume Genius’ sophomore effort Put Your Back N 2 It will be available on February 20th through Matador Records. Head over here to listen to “All Waters”, another track from the album. If you’re still not intrigued, we feel obligated to tell you that the set will also include a song about “unedited homemade basement porn”.

Click through to listen to “Hood” and see Arpad in action:
Haunting !!! – I was touched.
this is actually a good song, very sad tho…..not sure what an almost naked arpad miklos has to do with this….other than looking hot lol.
I like it. Nice to see an artist doing what he loves rather than trying please the public. Agree the video was a little random, but might explain more if it were longer.
On a barely similar note, you guys might like Arisa’s promotion videos. They always feature Uriel Yekutiel gender bending a bit with gay model Eliad Cohen in various states of undress:

This might be a dumb question but is “Perfume” Arpad’s new boyfriend? The song was very sad and would like to hear the whole thing. I just hope I misunderstood the boyfriend thing cause I would be so surprised that Arpad would go for a smaller kind of guy. I’m sure someone will set me straight. Thanks
HA, no! They are not boyfriends. I was just fucking around with you guys.
Kool – I don’t feel sooo stupid cause I just couldn’t believe it. Thanks for clearing that up. At my fantasy fuck is still intact with Arpad.
I saw Perfume Genius in Pittsburgh!
He signed my wallet!
For reference, my name is not Rick.
Just so you know, he wrote, ‘God Bless this fuckin’ wallet’.
Top tip: mute the sound, ignore ‘twink’, enjoy Arpad. The song is dreadful…
Believe it or not, this is actually more accessible than his first effort.
I watched the clip, and now I wanna be a hetro!
Would anyone care if Miklos retired, really? He won’t bottom on camera even though his hole looks like it has had more traffic than the Lincoln Tunnel.
