I have a brilliant idea.

Everytime I open my internet, I get half a dozen windows with over a dozen tabs each of artists I want to check out, cool tutorials, or marketing advice.

In order to ease up on how long it takes to open my browser and to pass on helpful/interesting things I find, I will post them here along with a brief description so you can check them out (and so I can find them more easily then going through my Bookmarks.)

So from now on, look for the label Tabs to find useful or fun web links.
