Chris Ott / Shallow Rewards thread!
What do you think of this guy?
I think he is awesome and he has turned me on to a ton of great music!
His old videos re-uploaded to YouTube are really interesting and I recommend giving them a watch. If you like the videos you should consider subscribing to his podcast on iTunes where he does interviews about music and other stuff. He has some pretty cool guests as well:

I also recommend checking out the archive to his now deleted ask.fm - he answers all kinds of questions there and I found some cool music through that as well:

He also sends out writings via TinyLetter every once in a while, which are also cool - however I cant seem to find how to sign up for that.
What do you guys think?
