UGM Staff

Celeste - Your humble Publisher, Hostess and Proprietor.

I'm the one that runs this joint. I do the web design, publishing, editing, artwork and other assorted BS. I also decide what goes into the UGM. If I were the only one making it happen... there wouldn't be anything happening here. I thank whatever powers-that-be for all the talented people that do 90% of the REAL work around here and who make The UGM one of the most popular Underground Music sites on the Internet.
