THE MONTREAL SESSIONS: K.A.N.T.N.A.G.A.N.O Tune in on Tuesdays from 3-5pm for the Montreal Sessions, CKUT's artist-in-residency radio show. Hosting the Montreal Sessions in November is K.A.N.T.N.A.G.A.N.O. K.A.N.T.N.A.G.A.N.O. means sometimes kinetic action for numerical tissue with numerous admirations of geographically antitypical and nymphological organs and often something else. In fact, we do not really know what all that means but we do things and that brings a lot of other elements to consider.
