Video Pick of the Week:  had to reach back a few months for this one.  Somehow or other I got the impression that Bop Skizzum was releasing a new video in Nov – and so far, the only one I’ve found is this one – that I apparently didn’t catch when it came out this past July?  Hmmm… maybe this is the new one I’ve been waiting for?

Nathaniel Rateliff – Falling Faster Than You Can Run

Today is Wednesday. It’s show production day.  The show goes out tomorrow for airplay on network stations from Saturday thru the following Friday.  As I was putting together this week’s show, listening to new releases, I came across the entire new album from Nathaniel Rateliff – with what is really the Wheel as the band – Joseph Pope III (vocals/guitar/harmonica), Julie Davis (vocals/upright bass), James Han (piano/organ) and Patrick Meese (drums).  I anticipate this record will enjoy a long life on radio playlists around the state (should it actually make it to stations in the network).

enjoy …

The Colorado Sound S7 EP35 SPT/OCT 2013

chris boni vip 2013Sunday Sept 29, 2013:  In two days from now I’m supposed to be publishing my monthly News Notes and Spins column.  I haven’t even begun to put it together.  So, given that I have to leave to do sound today at 4:30PM (Oskar Blues Longmont), and it’s 10:20 as I type this I think I’d better get my ass to work and pull some data. OH — and the Broncos play at 2:25PM … yeah .. it’s gonna be a tough slog to get the column done on time LOL.

support_this_station_125x125Real quick …. if you have not checked it out yet I do hope you will … The Colorado Sound Live365 is where you can listen to Colorado music 24/7 … it’s music based, not information based like the weekly show heard on KRFC (Fort Collins), Radio 94.9 (Loveland/Fort Collins), KWMW (Westcliffe), KOTO (Telluride), or KDNK (Carbondale/Glenwood Springs/Aspen).  The station has been on the air since April 1.  In September we’ve averaged less than 8 streams a day, unlike this blog that averages 52 unique page views a day.. and unlike the terrestrial station based show that averages well over a thousand listeners a week.  I could sure use some help keeping the station on the air, and growing the online listenership.  Please?  Share the stations with friends … put a link on your website so folks know where to hear CO music daily … anything you can do to help. And if you’re a business – yes, I accept advertising.    

Please consider making a donation to the cause – every dollar matters – seriously. This one has been coming out of my pocket.    

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK:  Dennis Wanebo is one of our region’s most enigmatic and disturbingly unknown singer songwriters.  A nearly fatal disease several years ago prompted Dennis to retire from his lucrative law career and focus on his music.  Dude’s music blows me away – but then we’re both a couple of old guys with a penchant for nostalgic themes in our music. 😉 j/s
