\"koalas<\/a>I can’t tell you the pleasure it gives me to be able to write a post with Uzi toting Koalas in it.

Mr. Rogers is the CEO of Topspin media, a company dedicated to accelerating independent bands out of the musical doldrums and getting them noticed online and in the traditional media. Until now, he’s not had the glorious experience of actually managing a band, but he’s personally adopted the ‘Get Busy’ Committee’ a rap outfit from LA (sadly not OZ), and is blogging about the positives and negatives of his experience trying to get them into the limelight<\/a>. OK so this is nothing to do with mocking the Australians, but it does have a funny Koala in it… Look at him there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
