| Sputcontributing
I've always wanted to be a part of this site on an official level, and
my new title of Contributor is a realization of that idea. It makes
me really happy, because I love Sputnik and everything that the
website (as well as the community itself) is capable of. I will be all
politician-like, and tell you guys that if you have any suggestions
in terms of reviewing, anything like that, just let me know and I'll
do anything I can to improve the site (as much as a Contributing
Reviewer can, of course). :] Here's a list of awesome people from
this site that deserve a shout-out. | 1 | | Grizzly Bear Veckatimest
Livingisland - Dave's a lesser known user here but he's a great friend of
mine who I introduced to this site. He's a fantastic guy, he lives in Rhode
Island and he's witty as hell. Props to you, buddy. :] | 2 | | Killer Mike R.A.P. Music
Recspecs - What a chill guy. You posted a concert on my Facebook wall, I
believe, and because I'm a terrible person I haven't checked it out quite
yet. But I will in a minute, and I hope it means I can meet you soon! Luke
and I live a couple of hours apart, and we've been become well-accustomed
to the very different aspects of living in Georgia. | 3 | | Trioscapes Separate Realities
PaperbackWriter - Hernan's an amazing dude overall. First off, his taste is
stellar, not to mention that he actively goes out of his way to assist
absolutely ANYBODY, with pretty much ANYTHING, on this site. If anybody's
going to get a ghost promotion over the next few months, it'll be this guy.
It's easy to be an asshole on the Internet, but Paperback is always so
humble and professional, and it's honestly inspired me very much. | 4 | | Suis la Lune Riala
Xenophanes - This guy's been so helpful overall, and he deserves to be a
staffer in every regard. Eli's helped me with a ton of stuff regarding this
site, and from bro-times at Muzik Dizcovery to dude-times speculating
who'd get the promotion, the guy's always been really interesting to talk
to, and helpful beyond belief. Props to a great staffer. | 5 | | Bansheebeat Wutai
TheReverend724 - I hope I got that number in your username right, man.
Dylan's got a wicked taste in music, and while we don't agree terribly often
it's always really interesting to know what he thinks about things. He's also
got a keen eye for anime, and that's perfect for a guy like me that's looking
to get started in that field. | 6 | | Of Montreal Paralytic Stalks
Klap4Music - Rudy's an incredibly laid-back staffer on Sputnik, and I noticed
him when he made an active effort to read my reviews. It's nice to see a
staffer that doesn't throw his opinions at everyone - he's a humble guy that
deserves his role on this site. | 7 | | Locksley Be In Love
Jom - I've requested so many features over the last year that I fear
decapitation. However, Jom's always handled it well and has even helped
me out a ton if I've had any specific questions. Swell dude. | 8 | | Linkin Park Living Things
Irving - I haven't even talked to Irving too much, but sometimes you just
know that a person's worth getting to know. Another insanely nice guy,
hilarious as hell, and a lovely writer. | 9 | | MeWithoutYou Ten Stories
Gyromania - Matt French is an awesome dude. He writes like no other, and
is incredibly committed to making a difference in the music review
community. We've worked together on various music websites, and all of
my experiences with him have been great. Congrats, fellow Contributor. :] | 10 | | Gold Panda Companion
SilentPotato - dude, you're 1337 as hell, and I'm excited for the 2012 recs.
And you fool around a lot on Sputnik but when it comes down to it you'v
always been really friendly and an interesting guy overall. | 11 | | Givers In Light
DaveyBoy - Sowing described Davey as the college professor that hangs
out with his students. After I laughed for an hour, I laughed for another
regarding how true it is. | 12 | | Regina Spektor What We Saw From the Cheap Seats
SowingSeason - You're a delightfully helpful staffer, and all of the work that
you put into this site is much appreciated. Excited to work with you in the
future, friend. :] | 13 | | Sithu Aye Isles
Clerquie - This guy has really interesting taste, and also is really open-
minded about music he doesn't specialize in. I'd like to get to know him
better for sure. | 14 | | Bersarin Quartett II
StrangerOfSorts - Another shame to the promotion cycle is that Jonny didn't
get the bump. He's a fantastic writer, and has really exciting taste in
electronic music that brings something very new and fresh to Sputnik. Keep
an eye on this guy! | 15 | | Between the Buried and me The Great Misdirect
Tyraelxy - Props to Tyrael for loving Between the Buried and Me as much as
he does, and just not giving a shit. Someday I hope to be as bold as you,
friend. | 16 | | The Contortionist Intrinsic
ILJAJLM - What a swell guy. He has great taste in progressive from what I
can remember, and he's also really friendly. Also, I'm surprised by how
great his Contortionist review was - not sure if I need to write one
anymore. | 17 | | Ennui Formation of Tides
LifeAsAChipmunk - Chipmunk has beautiful taste, discovers a ton of
underground releases and is a helpful darling, and is just chill overall. | 18 | | Laura Stevenson and the Cans Sit Resist
Aids - This guy has the most Sputnik taste in music ever, but that's ok
because he's a hell of a cool guy. Hilarious too, and worth getting to know. | 19 | | Bomb the Music Industry! Scrambles
Ifightffrdmns - maybe messed up that username, idk. But I asked Eric for
advice on my reviews, and he went out of his way to read like three of
them and give me constructive criticism. | 20 | | Arcade Fire The Suburbs
YetAnotherBrick - dude, you need to review way more and just hang
around here more. You don't review a ton, but the ones that you do write
blow my mind. | |

07.18.12 | 20/20, must be because I have a title now | Satellite
07.18.12 | where the fuck has ifight been | auberginedreams

07.18.12 | Congrats on that Omaha. You write consistently good reviews, and you've always given useful feedback on others reviews. | Shuyin
07.18.12 | ^lol, congratulations dude | omnipanzer
07.18.12 | Gratz bro. | Aids
07.18.12 | "This guy has the most Sputnik taste in music ever"

07.18.12 | congrats man | omnipanzer
07.18.12 | Irving is beautiful no matter what his gender, fuck off. | Metalstyles
07.18.12 | Irving is most definitely not a chick haha. He is the site's nicest user though (sorry Davey, you're now #2). | bakkermaarten007
07.18.12 | What can you do that a normal user can't when you're contributor? And what are the terms to become one? (just curious, not aspiring) | Yuli
07.18.12 | That was just me being facetious, haha. The main difference, at least to me, is that contributors are able to help with a few of the site's features, like the Users' Best of year lists, etc. | FromDaHood
07.18.12 | Chipmunk is really underrated I think. Maybe it's because he likes the same stuff I do but I really like him. | Yuli
07.18.12 | Becoming a Contributor requires one to write a fair deal of reviews consistently, and regarding a fair bit of recent releases. | AngelofDeath
07.18.12 | Congratulations, mate. Welcome to the fold. | Knott-
07.18.12 | To be a contributor: write well, write pretty often, cover new stuff.
Being a contributor: get featured, get your reviews on a separate page, help out.
Grats, obviously, Jacob =) | ILJ
07.18.12 | I finally made one of these lists :D | Eclecticist

07.18.12 | Yay, I'm here. My life on sputnik is now complete. Thanks and congratulations Jacob. : ] | Recspecs
07.18.12 | Yeah bro it's a free music festival in my area next weekend and Right Away, Great Captain! will be there so I'm really hoping I don't have to work then.
And grats on the trib :) | Trebor.
07.18.12 | sowing is the best | Sowing
07.18.12 | Thanks for the shout out omaha, I look forward to seeing what you do with that shiny new title under your name.

Inglorious Basterds is incredible, my god. I have to see it again soon.
And Rudy, that's what a really humble person would say ;D | Trebor.
07.18.12 | THAT'S A BINGO

Ya just say bingo | acorncheese

07.18.12 | The bar scene is hilariously over the top. | Yuli
07.18.12 | Does Acorncheese feel like elaborating?
I like the theater scene the most x) the fake accents and whatnot. | bakkermaarten007
07.18.12 | "To be a contributor: write well, write pretty often, cover new stuff.

Oh, well thanks. I guess I'll never be one, It's too hard for me to write reviews on a regularly basis because I need to translate from my native language. I've yet added a ton of albums and artists to the site though. Will continue doing that,there's already a new pile waiting to be added. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow. | SgtPepper
07.18.12 | Oh, thanks Omaha for the shoutout. This is very kind of you.
You know that your work has always inspired me as well. I'm very happy for you mate. You're going to do a lot of good in this website. | Recspecs
07.19.12 | "lol are you kidding me? respecs is the worst user to show up since butcheredchildren"
Good to know we are on the same page mother fucker. | HitlerIsTheBest
07.19.12 | sputsuck | acorncheese

I've always wanted to be a part of this site on an official level, and my new title of Contributor is a realization of that idea.
Ughhh... | Gyromania
07.19.12 | Balls when are you going to make the move to staff?! | BallsToTheWall
07.19.12 | Never. | BassDemon333
07.19.12 | Gonna keep on improving my writing and reviews, I really wanna try and make contributor status next year since I didnt
make it this year | Yuli
07.19.12 | Paperback, if I were gay I would want to move to New York with you and have a lovely marriage where we always compliment each others' reviews.
"Hey faggot leave Recspecs alone you just wish you could please women as well as he can!!" [100]
Never seen acorncheese contribute a single useful thing to this site, for the record.
And BassDemon, you're a really good writer. Keep at it, man. | Recspecs
07.19.12 | That's because when acorncheese isn't busy licking asshole, his throat is full of scrotum. | SgtPepper
07.19.12 | @Omaha
Haha, we'd be great together. |
