SowingSeason

SowingSeason is a staff writer and moderator for Sputnikmusic. One of the more active high-ranking users on the site in recent years, the consensus on Sputnik is that Sowing is arguably one of the most important users in the community, putting in a significant amount of work to create content as well as protecting the site from trolls. A big fan of alt rock, pop, and country. His name is derived from "Sowing Season", a track from Brand New's 2006 album The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.

Controversy
Sowing is also a somewhat controversial figure amongst the Sputnikmusic user base: While many users admire his formidable skills as a reviewer and his dedication to generating content for the site, others (including many of the Sputnik old guard) dislike him for his perceived arrogance, as well as for the many times he's put his foot in his mouth (joking that Britney Spears should be called "whorecore", saying the underage fan who Brand New frontman Jesse Lacey sent nudes to was "probably begging him for it" [1], etc. etc.)

Despite this, he has been featured on the site's Copypasta database only once, for describing Flying Lotus' Cosmogramma as the Kid A of the 2010s.
