Might do some early music posting, might go back to bed and nap depending on how I’m feeling. Then to the entertainment, gossip blogs and twitter to see what’s trending. I usually wake up around 4/5 a.m., no alarm clocks either (wild huh? lol), roll up, make breakfast, check the status of the Bitcoin exchange (yes, I’m a cryptosexual), check all the digital sales platforms I use for orders, check texts, DM’s or emails for DJ bookings, bulk orders, record fairs or private showings.
