The Colorado Sound S8 EP05 Feb 2014

chris at ob hmls sunday june 16 2013It’s been an interesting week.  I had to take a “medical” break last week – so everyone reran the BEST OF 2013 show.  Thanks for that.  The next 12-16 weeks will be a high intensity period of required medical repairs and refurb.  I suspect you’ll get to hear the Best of 2013 at least one more time between now and the end of May.

I updated The Colorado Sound Live365 this week.  I try to update the general catalog of songs every quarter, with monthly updates to reflect the current Colorado TOP 40 (airs 3x a day) as well as significant new adds for the month.  If you have a suggestion for a cut, pls email me at thecoloradosound@gmail.com

(A) = mornings 6A-11A,
(P) = afternoons 1P-5:30P
(N) = nights 5:30P-8:00P & overnights 10P-6A
Weekend mixes = a little more classic during the day, a little more edge at night.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

Aerosmith’s “Dream On” didn’t become a hit until 3 years after it’s initial release in 1973.  There have been countless other “hits” that came a year, two, or three after an album was released … so me adding a video and album from 2012 only means it escaped my attention until now – and now might be the best time yet to add this Arthur Lee Land cut to the list of this year’s best “hits.”  Looking forward to doing sound for this show at Oskar Blues Homemade Liquids and Solids (Longmont) this month.  Dude kills! 😉

PLAYLIST- S8 EP05 FEB 2014 

The program this week is jammed with new releases and new cuts from previously debuted album/eps.  One debut in particular came out in 2001, and not originally from CO – although Beth Williams has since moved here, establishing a voice coach business and project recording studio in Cedaredge (pop. 22oo).  She’s got quite a bio – worth reading.

The Colorado Sound S8|EP04 Jan 2014

boninwf back stage nite 1 2012I had a great day Friday.  It was the annual JeffCo Jamboree, put on by Venture West.  I know I’m about to leave someone out, but the room really did show a great representation of entertainment talent, along with quite a few (over 60) of the region’s top talent buyers/event producers.  In attendance:  Chris Daniels, Megan Burtt, Wendy Woo, Katie Glassman, Katey Laurel, the Indulgers, Cowboy Dave, Cowboy Brad Fitch, the ultimate cowboy – Bill Barwick, Ryan Chrys, Andy Hackbarth, Dr. Izzy Band, and easily another five dozen acts from around the area …in what has become an annual kick off to the new year for those of us in the “business” of putting on spring, summer, and fall shows (either as buyers or entertainers).  Everyone is excited to get the year going, and at least one regional buyer remarked to me on my FB page that they met several new acts they’re going to look into for the  upcoming festival season.

Speaking of which, since not everyone can attend such an event, I now offer a buyer service package as well as the media package I’ve offered the past six years now.  Hit me up for more info at thecoloradosound@gmail.com

BHTM Black Beehive

The brand new Big Head Todd & the Monsters record “Black Beehive,” hit my desk this week.  I have to say that I really am excited for this one.  Even though the single, “Josephina,” has been available on YouTube since Oct, it’s a super solid track that really ought to be a core current on many commercial and non-commercial AAA (adult album alternative) stations around the state (KBCO, KUNC, Radio 94.9FM, KRFC, etc).  I’d expect this to be one of the top three most spun albums of the year.
