VIDEO // Matt Corby: “Resolution”
May 24, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
BIG SONG AND VOCALS ALERT. Australia’s Matt Corby is too real. Artist Relations Manager Alex Collins hasn’t been able to shut up about him since the release of this live video for his track “Brother.” Naturally, I was hesitant to listen to something that someone told me to, but I caved for Corby. It was [...] Read More

Sometimes things are different
May 23, 2013 by Bethany Williams
Here in Uganda, my name is William. Being a woman, that’s not really something I love. Although it can be amusing to witness the surprise of visitors when they come to meet me and discover I’m not, in fact, a man as a name like William might suggest. In Uganda the Christian name comes last. [...] Read More
Common Good Exchange // F*** Cancer
May 23, 2013 by Krista Morgan
Little known fact about me: I am a cancer survivor. Diagnosed with kidney cancer at the age of 28, I completed treatment and have been in remission for three years. Tying it in a nice little one sentence bow doesn’t quite do my experience justice, but the point of this blog is not about me or [...] Read More
Bear Mountain: “Faded”
May 23, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
This is a special blog post because we actually just finished recorded an acoustic session of this very song with Vancouver’s Bear Mountain. Their debut album XO just got a fancy re-release, and it’s chock full of electro-emotion. “Faded” is exactly that – a rare blend of synths and sincerity (shameful alliteration, yes). A lot of [...] Read More
