The Colorado Sound S7/EP03 Jan 2013 + AN EXCLUSIVE NEW VIDEO LINK

What a great b-day weekend … well, in the very least it was very interesting … LOL. Thanks to the many hundreds who visited my FB page and wished me a Happy Birthday – and thank you (not) to my Dr. who has completely freaked the old goat out for at least another two months, while more tests are done to determine if I’m suffering from some “hidden” illness.  Sheesh .. and people wonder why I never go to doctors unless it’s a really bad situation that absolutely requires it.  Anyway… I guess I am starting to show the effects of age, and a oh-so-not-good lifestyle so I guess it’s all good – since I really want to be around another 20 years to do what I most love to do (second only after cuddling my wife, or snuggling with the grand kids).

One of the things I’ve tried to do every week is put together a video playlist for your enjoyment.  Well, instead of doing that this week, I received a very cool offer from Wendy Woo, whose husband Charles presented us with an exclusive that people will only be able to access here at Colorado Music & Radio for the next five days.

I’ve been a fan of Wendy Woo for well over a decade now.  I’ve had the great pleasure of working with her and her various bands over that time in one capacity or another.  So, it really is a tremendous pleasure for me that they invited me to present this video exclusively for those of you who visit this blog every week.  Pls click to enjoy in a new window.  Wendy Woo – Hey Bartender

The Colorado Sound – S7/EP02 2013

Holy crap!  I can’t believe I didn’t post this on Sunday, as I have done somewhat religiously the past three years.  I have no idea what’s going on here LOL.  Okay, so it was cold – I guess I could use that as an excuse… except I work from home, so no, not really a good one .. huh?  Hmmmm…

Gotta say – I am somewhat enthralled by the new Wire Faces release, King Cataract, on Hot Congress Records, coming out officially on Feb 7.  It is the tightest and most easily accessible album the band has done, while retaining the harder/more angular “indie” sound they’ve been known to produce.  Do check out the band’s kickstarter page.  The band took a huge hit recently when their rehearsal space was robbed of the band’s equipment.      http://kck.st/UbbBX

Hey, sorry no new videos etc this week.  I’m just now sitting down to plan and prep for S7/EP03. 🙂

The Colorado Sound – S7 EP1 2013

Welcome to 2013.  You may notice a change in the header for the show.  The Colorado Sound made its debut in 2006.  2013 makes Season 7 of the show (S7).  2013 also marks the 4th year now for the blog (V4).

The best two months for the blog were January 2011, and December 2012 when there were roughly 1900 unique views in each month.  On average, this blog receives 42 unique page views a day – or about 1200 a month, give or take.

I have no real good way of measuring the on air reach of the program, except in general terms.  It’s reasonable that the show is heard by many hundreds of listeners weekly

One or both hours of the show currently airs on
KRFC (Fort Collins) … Saturday night/8PM .. FC is the largest market with reach that extends into parts of the Denver/Boulder area.
KDNK (Carbondale) – which has multiple translators, and is heard in Glenwood Springs, Leadville, and Aspen on Thursday morning at 1AM
KOTO (Telluride) – which has two or three translators.  Hour 2 of the show is heard in prime time / 11AM / on a Thursday morning – a highly coveted slot.
KWMV-LPFM (Westcliffe) – which has the most limited reach being an LP (low power) station and being in the least populated area the show is broadcast in.  The show is heard on three days of the week – with HR 1 on Tues, HR2 on Wed, then both hours on Friday evening at 6PM.
The Fever, KFVR, in Pueblo on a classic rock station on a Friday night at 8PM.
Post303Radio.com – Mondays at 4PM – the only pure play Internet station the show appears on.
KVNF (Paonia) – COMING FEBRUARY 2013 – station has multiple translators …

In 2012 I also started The Colorado Sound video channel at Youtube.com.  So as often as I find new videos I’ll post a new playlist … or feature videos from new cuts being featured in the show that week.  Also, I use Spotify and Bandcamp to provide embedded music

(D) = new album debut/first time a cut from this album/ep has been aired
(N) = new song debut from previously debuted album/ep
