I think that you and your site are amazing. I don’t know why so many hate. I bet it’s because they don’t do a damn thing with their lives and still live at their parents house. With that said, they need to grow up and stop being negative to others.
Thanks! :D

good to see you’re being positive. I think a lot of people are generally negative and slightly jealous because people like us are getting out there and doing something with our lives, rather then sitting about and dreaming.
Oh and finally got FYS :)
I have to agree my friend. Hate is definitely an activity for those with nothing else going on!

I think that it’s humorous that people are giving you crap. I am willing to bet that none of them could have a part-time job (a lot of the time crazy hours), go to school, and operate a BUSINESS nearly 24/7. Hmph.
This is why we’re friends. Thank you. :D

why do you have so many haters?! :(
I don’t really know, guess people just feel like they can say whatever they want when they know they won’t be held accountable.
I always just remind myself of the quote, “It’s a sign of your own worth sometimes if you are hated by the right people. “

These people are ridiculous and obviously know nothing about “the industry”
Thank you for the support <3

Why it is that you consider yourself to be working in the music industry? Last I checked writing a music blog doesn’t really count. Just wondering if you could explain?
I also write for Alternative Press Magazine, is that “in the industry” enough for you?
In regards to UTG though, we work with over a hundred record labels and pr agencies and are consistently...

You’re just another shitty kid with another stupid music site. What makes you think you have the authority over everyone else to tell people what’s good and what isn’t?
at 22, I hardly think of myself as just “another kid with a music site.” Where UTG started as just another music review blog, we’ve developed hours of original video material...

Why do you think you’re so much better than everyone else?
I’m not too sure why you believe I think this way, but I in no way find myself better than most. I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish, but I’m also thankful for everyone whose donated one second of time to help me along the way.
If anything, I’m working on being as great as most,...

Alright, so you hate on Brokencyde and Dot Dot Curve, but do everything in your power to promote Millionaires. Want to face up and say you sold your soul for promotion?
You can ask anyone who knows me in real life and they’ll confirm that I honestly love those girls. I won’t say I’m dumb to the fact covering them on the site has brought us some views, but...

why did you tell people they’d have a better chance of winning a prize in multiple contests if they friended you on facebook and followed on twitter? Who knows, maybe there was no prize and you were just in it for the recognition.
This is true, we’ve just had a shorter than expected amount of contests. I can tell you with next month being our birthday month that we...

lol. Somebody asked if you consider yourself a whore? Wow.. lol. Anyway.. Favorite person/band you’ve ever interviewed? And why? And who would you love to interview that you haven’t had the chance to? (I hope I’m allowed to ask more than one question)
Favorite interview? Hm..there’s been quite a few good ones that I just can’t choose between.

Please tell me your not still wearing tight girls pants like an emo wannabe…
Hm…this would infer at some point I was an emo wannabe or trying to be a wannabe which is not true, but regardless - I wear skinny jeans, yes.

How did you get started in the music industry?
Well….it all began when I heard Blink 182’s “Enema of the State.” It was 1999 and I, then 11, knew all I wanted was to be a part of an industry that could produce something so amazing [and I never looked back].
When I was 14 years old I began booking and playing shows. I booked for a local venue and dealt...

Would you rather marry a vain person or a person with poor image?
By poor image do you mean public or self? If it’s poor public image then I couldn’t care less. Whether or not you like who I love doesn’t affect the fact that I indeed love them. That said, I do terribly with poor self image especially since I used to have issues with it myself and now...

Would you rather always take a cold shower or sleep an hour less than you need to be fully rested?
Sleep. I mean, I avoid it at all costs already, why not have a better reason than simply hating the cold spaces next to me.

What do you day dream about?
Sounds lame, but I day dream about writing about music. No joke. I honestly dream about the same thing I do when I have free time and I love every second of it. The only difference is that in my head writing about music is much more like the film Almost Famous and less like a 22yr. old kid sitting at his mac eating an apple at 3:30 AM because the...

Lions. Death would come quicker the bigger the mouth.

Would you rather be gossipped about or never talked about at all?
Talk about me all you want, I truly no longer care. If people are talking about you it simply means you’ve left an impression - here’s hoping it’s a good one.

Have you ever gotten yourself checked for a mental disorder? If not, you should.
I have been to the degree that I’ve been diagnosed with depression [more than once]. Why, what do you think is wrong with me?

are you sure having a formspring is a good idea??
No, in all actuality it is probably a terrible decision, but luckily they invented the “delete” button for a reason. I’m all for being bold, but that doesn’t have to mean rude as well.
I’ll answer anything, just ask it nicely.

what do you look for in a girl?
This is an odd question because I never really know how to answer. I guess in the long run, I want a best friend, but also someone I can do absolutely nothing with and still have the time of my life. It’s not about being able to run away from our problems and live a crazy lifestyle to me, but rather being able to still be head over heels for...

what’s going on with the UTG tour this summer?
We have a few confirmed bands, two of which are UTG regulars. However, we’re unable to discuss the tour at greater length as we’re waiting on one final confirmation from the final act. I can say the tour will be a couple weeks and span MA to MI and down.

Where have you been hiding Mr. Shotwell?! I haven’t seen you in forever.
These past two months have been some of the most eventful, crazy, heartbreaking, invigorating, and busy times of my life. When I’m not in class I’m generally buried in UTG or homework. Text me if you miss me and if I don’t reply you can feel free to call me names until I do.

I feel like I’m always writing about other’s attempts at celebrity.
Tonight thus far, I’ve reviewed:
-Jaguar Love

-The Forecast
-Of Mice & Men
This marks the 12th review I’ve written in 7 days. Not counting my review of The Hurt Locker for shot-well.net.
What artists/albums are you most excited about in the coming months?
