The concepts I promote
Go, go, go until you can go no more. I reject the concept of working yourself to the bone as it's hard to reap the rewards when you're ill with fatigue and exhaustion.

You follow the band on twitter, you tweet them about how much you love their music. You make your way through all their songs over and over … Continue reading Becoming a fan
