What gives you the authority to say such things about people’s music, their craft, their life?

Here’s my opinion on the matter: These are my observations and opinions on the world around me. What you choose to do or believe, even if it differs from my opinion, is your freedom to do so. I respect that. And in saying that, I don’t really care what you do with your life. So if you choose to think otherwise on my opinions, feel free to share such thoughts via a comment on the post or send an email. I will acknowledge that you feel this way but I will move on with my life. I feel how I feel; I can’t change that. Perhaps you can change my mind about it, who knows? I certainly don’t. However, I certainly appreciate opposing views on music, the weather, or whether or not I should eat nachos for dinner. Feel free to disagree with me. Whatever happens, I’m going to sleep well tonight under my Avengers blanket.

How do I become affiliates with you?
Email me with your inquiry.

I’d like to do advertising with you.

Email me with your press release.

Why am I not featured on your website Spotify playlist?
Because you didn’t come up in the search results when I tried to add you to the playlist.

Features

I’d like to be interviewed. How can I get in contact with you?
While I’d love to sit with you on the grass and chat it up about music and sneezing pandas while we eat my world famous cupcakes, life doesn’t always give you what you want. So take the boring route and email me about your request and we’ll carry on from there. Or you can send me your rendition of “Party In The USA” by Miley Cyrus fully equipped with animal noises and you’ll get an automatic yes.

Please note that I prefer in person interviews. Phone, email, Skype interviews make me feel awkward.

Two weeks tops, depending on my amount of work for other commitments. Please note that I am a college student.

I sent you my MySpace link and you haven’t replied yet.
Because you sent me a MySpace link.

I don’t agree with your review on _. How can you say that about _?
Why let me refer you to the Bill of Rights: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights

WikiPedia isn’t a real source!
How dare you besmirch their good name!

Why don’t you have many negative reviews?
I don’t see the point in spending my time writing about how I, a single person behind a computer, don’t enjoy something that others might. A lot of people may thoroughly enjoy it while I simply don’t. What you put out into the universe comes back to you.
