Alex Winter is a Hollywood director of award winning documentaries about technology and music such as Deep Web and Downloaded. He is also the actor that played Bill S. Preston esq in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure!This week on Kingdom of Rock, host Matt Gibson talks to him about his latest project: a comprehensive documentary of rock pioneer Frank Zappa!  This is a bit off the beaten path but I really believe that this could be one of the most important music films of our lifetime.  I hope each and every one of you will consider making an investment in music culture by supporting this very important Kickstarter.The main purpose of the Kickstarter is to raise enough funds to preserve Frank's vault of analog tape, photos, music and movies.

Kate's specialty is getting organized and streamlining your business. This is especially important if you do everything like so many of us do in the music business. Music entrepreneurship is work! You sell your music, streamline your digital distribution, polish your music marketing, choreograph your live music show, tweak your image, manage your website and social media accounts, book your shows, fix your bus and practice your art. You simply can't be too organized when you have so much to do! We get into to everything from being organized, prioritizing your talks and the value of having a coach.
