HOWL: THANK YOU

Category:

After months of time and dedication, we - Kerowack and Ginsgood - have made the difficult decision to end BeatniksandBling.com. We would like to thank all of our fans who have encouraged us - through site visits as well as emails - to continue blogging over the last few months. We gurantee that this is not a final goodbye, but merely a moment of transition. In the future, the Beatniks' will continue to share the best in indie, hip hop and electronic and we hope you will continue to follow. Follow us on twitter @saeedbar and @mobarhoush.

Again, THANK YOU!

Keep Beatings,

Ginsgood and Kerowack
