Monkees cancels other their tour

published: 2011-08-09 20:54:42 The Monkees started out as a marvelous mock Beatles-esque group on television. For years they entertained audiences with their kitch humor and funny ideas that John Lennon and friends made famous. The group was inspired by the Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night . They wanted to devise a television series about a rock ‘n’ roll group similar to the titular band. They might not have been as prolific as the aforementioned band they were poking fun at, they were actually talented musicians. Like many of the bands in that era, they began making records that were pop and…

Expert Khalifa, big Xia En and the Currensy cooperation distribute four new songs

published: 2011-07-22 18:55:32 Whiz Khalifa is a rapper that likes to keep his music rooted in what society expects. For those who aren’t aware, the stereotypical hip-hop star raps about everything a “normal” guy in his position would: getting laid, smoking weed, “Black and Yellow,” partying, how cool they are and smoking weed. These are the usual topics of discussion in their poetic verses, and I’m not being harsh on them either.
