Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs.

Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive.

Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) and new songs (N) I shared in the show this week.

Results enter into determining which cuts stay in the library and which cuts might eventually make it to the annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll and the “some of the best of the year” show.

_____________________

This week’s show features music not available on any streaming service. Mollie O’Brien & Rich Moore’s new album is only available via Bandcamp. Andy Sydow‘s new EP with his live band, the Minor League, is not out yet.
