When your band’s tickets aren’t selling out the way you hoped they would, where do you turn? From big bands like Arcade Fire to small jazz ensembles, the industry is looking to Groupon and LivingSocial to reach a more expansive crowd. You can go on Groupon and get half-off tickets right now to Demi Lovato’s performance at the end of October. LivingSocial made a deal with AEG to help sell concert tickets in 2012, a team-up similar to the Groupon and Live Nation collaboration of 2011. Ever since, both discount-dealing websites have only grown in popularity, which actually allowed them to sell more tickets more often. The Groupon/Live Nation deal originally allowed for the bargain site to mainly work with last-minute inventories. “It took a year to persuade the promoter to let Groupon start selling tickets in advance,” said Groupon’s Greg Rudin, “and as a partner, not just ‘when you're in trouble.’” It’s not just tickets. Similarly to the artists who are putting out albums exclusively to Itunes, David Gray released an album exclusively on Groupon, and other artists are putting out products (like albums and merchandise) via the site. Last year, LivingSocial sold tickets to Switchfoot’s concert along with one to see the band’s documentary. That offer went over so well that LivingSocial became the main place to get pre-sale tickets for Switchfoot's 2014 tour. Along with tickets, this deal came with a signed poster and a download of the band's latest album. "We're reaching…

women. Historically, rap begun as a way of expression speaking about life experiences and times of struggle. Hip-hop began as an art, a means of creating fun rhythm and beats, true entertainment. Over the years rap and it’s message has transformed. Rap music and videos often are portraying “successful” men with expensive cars, jewelry, and clothes.

demonstrates that his “wild side” is there. He shows that the moors are there with him. In other words, the moors play a very important paper at the moment of understanding the characters. (1 (Wuthering Heigths) pg. 4 I) Before in this thesis defense, I mention that characters take it seriously about what other people say. Catherine, since she changed her manners, started caring more about commentaries people made about her. She ends marrying Edgar Linton because she wants to be well-seen.…

“Porphyria’s Lover,” and Frankenstein. Besides singular language being used to explain the thought processes of obsessed characters, some authors primarily focus on giving the actions only to the obsessed character. The text suggests that one character’s obsession complicates the agency of those around him. Catherine Linton of Wuthering Heights proves very passionate about her love life. She obsesses over her true love, Heathcliff, even after choosing to marry her materialistic love, Edgar.…

Wonder. As of the moment, James Morrison has released three studio albums which are Undiscovered (2006), Songs For You, Truths For Me (2008) and The Awakening (2011). Fans of Morrison should rejoice as the talented singer is now working on his fourth LP entitled Higher than Here (2015) which is due to be released in October 2015 with a very much absurd lead single entitled Demons. Morrison can be remembered for his iconic songs such as You Make It Real, One Chance, Wonderful World, the very…

However it could have been either in retrospect. If not even both. However some say she fulfilled her dream during her first concert. Selena’s dream had far reaching…

had to stop doing interviews because they would ask Lennon absurd questions. This later on caused the group to fall apart. In April of 1970, the group then disbanded. Lennon says after Epstein died, the group fell apart and McCartney was then leading the group. The group didn’t call it leading because he wasn’t doing much and nothing was ever the same. Lennon continued to write and focused more on spiritualism. On December 11, 1970, Lennon released his first solo album titled John…
