CP S14 EP22 2020

MONDAY JUNE 08 2020 –I received word over the weekend from KDNK (Carbondale) that the show now airs Saturday and Sunday mornings at 5AM. See updated stations and times.

News is starting to come in about live in person music around the region. Conditions vary, but we are beginning to see some glimmers and pictures and testimony – expressing considerable pleasure and bands on stages.

FOCOMA (Fort Collins Musician Association) and ODell Brewing have teamed up with the Holiday Twin Drive-In Fort Collins for Drive and Jive – a weekly Tuesday night series showcasing some of Northern Colorado’s popular acts – including Bonnie & the Cyldes, Sugar Britches, The Beeves, Slow Caves, Cary Morin and Del Shamen featuring John Magnie and Steve Amadee from the Subdudes along with Nick Forster (E-Town) and Jock Bartley (Firefall).

Colorado Playlist sponsor, The Mishawaka, has reopened for food, music and movies – but in an extremely scaled down fashion. Currently, the “Mish” can only sit 96 across their property at any one time. Local duos, trios and the occasional band will appear on the outdoor stage. Reservations only. Please tip the musicians.

While some local restaurants are opening and offering live music in some form, bars, festivals and major events continue to either cancel or postpone. Among the latest to cancel is the Boulder County Fair. Chautauqua Boulder canceled the rest of their season as well.

At Bohemian Foundation, our focus is on building community …by coming together to create and enjoy music. Bohemian Foundation’s NoCo Music Relief Fund provides assistance for individuals in the Northern Colorado Music Community who are severely financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic

THIS WEEK ON YOUTUBE

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

This pretty much speaks for itself. An anthem for our times, it can’t be played on broadcast radio due to lyrics.

Rocky Mountain Music Relief Inc – provides financial and in-kind support to those individuals, groups and organizations within our Colorado music industry that have been impacted physically, financially and/or emotionally due to the occurrence of natural disasters or unforeseen tragedies within their communities.

CO TOP 40 MAY 2020

It’s been several years since I tracked and posted a monthly TOP 40 chart for Colorado music, played on Colorado radio stations. Thanks to my friends at Spinitron for allowing me access to their playlist generator database for a few months (no, it’s not permanent access – yet).

Spinitron’s playlist generator was developed to benefit non-commercial public and educational terrestrial radio stations in the US that simultaneously stream online and broadcast over airwaves. Record promoters are among those most likely to benefit from Spinitron’s detailed advance search function.

There are over 20 FM and LPFM (low power FM) non-commercial public/community and college stations in Colorado. I’m able to track spins at 12 of those stations that have some kind of searchable online database or use Spinitron.

The two stations I most frequently get asked about are 105.5 The Colorado Sound, where I’m a part of the on-air team, and Indie 102.3 (Denver/Fort Collins). Both have searchable databases. So I’ll lead off the TOP 40 for May 2020 with their respective TOP 5.

1. NATHANIEL RATELIFF – And It’s Still Alright LP
2. ANDY FRASCO – Keep On Keepin’ On LP
