Special thanks goes to Anthony Gonzalez of M83 [...]

Up and Comers Episode 1.0 brought to you by killing the cabinet! Cannon Bros. are not brothers.  They’re a two piece out of Winnipeg, Canada.  They both play guitar, drums and can sing (and often switch live).  This is lo-fi pop at its finest.  Think Matt and Kim plus The Drums minus a million hands in the [...]

Bush is another one that comes to mind [...]

by Charissa Lock @charissalock “No Future/No Past” immediately jolted me back to middle school, attired in wide-leg jeans and a Billabong tee, standing awkwardly on the outskirts of a cramped V.F.W. while my brother’s band was playing.  The room was in darkness minus a faint glow from where the cool parents stood, while those taking [...]

wow, its finally here… I started ktc mgmt as a consulting company back in 2004.  My business partner and I had helped a few big companies with projects and did fairly well in doing so.  We learned a lot, won some and lost a few too.  Things were pretty good. In 2008, I decided to [...]
