KMSC Interviews Kohli Calhoun!!!

Posted on

KMSC is fortunate enough to be interviewing the one and only, Kohli Calhoun!!!

We were fortunate enough to be given another interview opportunity from the one and only, Kohli Calhoun.
The past eight years have been a challenging time for Brooklyn-based Kohli Calhoun.
Following an unfavorable parting of ways with the producer of her never-released debut in 2008, the singer/songwriter made her retreat from music and unwittingly initiated a personal dark age. It was not until a Brooklyn songwriting community helped her reconnect with her artistic self that Calhoun recognized the error of her ways, and in 2014 she began writing again in a bid to make amends.
Take Me Away is Kohli’s poetic rise from the ashes. Made over the course of the last year, the album is thematically bookended by the singles it has already produced. Two pillars upon which the record stands – one concerning escape, one about wanting to stay – Take Me Away and Phantom serve as a blueprint for the album. The remaining songs are written from the tension point between these two extremes and are steeped in a rare honesty and an endearing pain.

 

Check us out as we interview the very talented Kohli Calhoun, April 15th at 4pm ct!!!

You can check it out on dragonradio.org, on the dial at 1500am or Dragon Channel 97.5 and 98.1 in the residence halls of MSUM.

END OF THE YEAR!!! ZOMG THE MAYANS WERE RIGHT!!!!

Posted on

As you prepare for the impending apocalypse we just wanted to thank you all for one of the best semesters in recent KMSC history! We’re getting closer and closer to a truly professional station and we couldn’t do any of it without the hard work and dedication of DJs like you. We just wanted everyone to know that the end of the semester is next week and IF YOU DON’T PLAN ON COMING BACK NEXT SEMESTER (assuming the world doesn’t end) YOU NEED TO RETURN YOUR KEYS TO PUBLIC SAFETY. We will be back up and running much earlier next semester so everyone can do their shows nice and early. Thanks again everyone and we’ll see you next semester.

P.S. We’re very proud of our intrepid DJ Meredith and her impressive work in the physics competition. Go ahead and read up on her epic awesomeness! http://msumadvocate.com/2012/11/students-compete-in-physics-competition/
