Contributed Post Now, we don’t want you contributing to the struggle of the soul that is being a creative. We spend enough time down on ourselves and our talents that we certainly don’t need any help doing that. What we might need help with, however, is finding the way out of that mire. Even if you never feel like you’re making good music, so long as you keep the below in mind, you will start to show improvements. The reception to your newer tracks should show that, too. Credit You don’t work at it If people aren’t taking your band seriously or they’re not taking your production seriously, it’s likely because they know that you don’t take it seriously. Sure, it’s easy to have the…

One of the things about owning a business is that you need to know how exactly to lead the people in your business towards greater and greater success. This is as important in the first five years as it is twenty years down the line. But it’s not just in your relation to your own people that it matters. You also need to be able to draw in great swathes of people to buy your products and use your services, and this takes a certain kind of personality. Fortunately, these personality traits are all things that you can easily and quickly take on board. In this post, we are going to look at some of the essential qualities of the best business leaders.

Every Sunday, I take a look at five beers worth checking out. This week, we’re going to dive into some big Double IPAs. This is a style that tends to be big, hoppy, sometimes a touch sweet, and always pretty potent. Cheers! Bell’s Hopslam Some beers are annual Events with a capital “E”. They’re like holidays which half the craft beer world celebrates. One of those beers is Bell’s Hopslam, a big, honey-dosed double IPA that gets drinkers scrambling when it’s released every January. The beer has gotten enough interest so that Bell’s has ramped up production, making it easier to find than ever, but that doesn’t make it any less of a treat. Its robust 10 percent ABV doesn’t try to hide, but the…

Contributed Post We keep hearing the phrase “digital economy” but what does it mean for writers? Quite a lot, actually. It turns out that we writers are in for a bit of a boom. Far from being replaced, writing has gone from strength to strength as computers have taken over the world, and for reasons that nobody in the writing field ever really expected. Pexels The cool thing for writers is that a lot of opportunities in the digital world actually provide better pay and prospects than writing careers that existed before the internet changed everything.

I need to take a little trip back into Music Nostalgiaville for a moment. Not for any reason, just because. I’m going to do it with a cut from a band called Rotator Cuff. (If you want to skip the story and go right to the music, go below.) This band was completely local, so I acknowledge this is ’90s nostalgia for no one but me. It’s not even all that nostalgic for people in my area. This song got a decent amount of airplay on WHTG 106.3, which back in the day was one of the most important college rock stations in the northeast. Matt Pinfield of 120 Minutes was an alt rock icon locally thanks to his time there, and that’s where I (sort…
