Colorado Playlist S10 EP11 2016

Monday morning coffee and a dash of Colorado music … so last week was the debut of the Monday morning music meeting poll … where you get the chance, let me know which of the new songs I debuted over the weekend you liked best.  

Last week, The Patient Zeroes crushed with over 74% of the vote!   Now, I can say that the band urged their fans to come and vote for them – but what good candidate (and a few bad ones out there) doesn’t, right?   Here’s the song that crushed… 

and that’s just TWO guys … ! …

okay .. so it’s Monday afternoon now, and my day has gotten off to a roaring late start!  LOL

Sorry to announce that Radio 94.9 in NoCO has canceled the show on Sunday mornings, as a result of my show moving into the 10AM time slot on 105.5FM and no doubt me now being a part of the on air staff at 105.5 … it made no sense for 94.9 to continue the show in that time slot on Sunday morning.  I want to thank my old friend Stu Haskell for inviting me in three years ago.  I deeply appreciate the support.

Don’t forget to vote for your favorites from this week below.


 

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

SHEL has managed to impress with their renditions of two of rock’s greatest epic songs — Led Zepplin’s Battle of Evermore and this one from Metallica …

Colorado Playlist S10 EP10 2016

Monday morning … NEW MUSIC POLL  this week featuring American Culture, Strawberry Runners, The Blue Rider, Esme Patterson, and the Patient Zeroes.  I have to say it all sounds rather oddly like the sixties to my ears.  It will be interesting to see what your favorites are from this class of retro-pop and rock …

Sorry to say that Radio 94.9 in Northern Colorado has decided to drop the show.  I seriously want to thank long time NoCO radio guru Stu Haskell for inviting me to be a part of things there the past few years.  With me now being on staff at 105.5 The Colorado Sound, and the Colorado Playlist airing on Sunday mornings at 10AM, it did not make sense for 94.9 to continue airing the show.

The Colorado Sound S9 EP47 2015

It’s the time of year for family, friends, and parties.  Not too much has gone on this week.  If you haven’t done so already, make sure you vote for your favorites in the FAN POLL.  I’m looking forward to sharing the best of the best from this year in our annual BEST OF show coming up in a couple of weeks.  The POLL ends Dec 20.

One bit of news broke over the weekend.  Veteran Irish Rock band the Indulgers lead singer/band leader Damien McCarron posted an end to their successful 17 year run.

THE COLORADO SOUND LIVE365

Besides the radio show, you can also stream the best of my collection anytime at The Colorado Sound Live365.  We’re coming up on the third year that I’ve kept that sidebar going.  The past few months have been sketchy to be honest.  While the radio show enjoys the love of numerous stations statewide, the metrics on the online side have been slow to develop.  A cry for listeners last week rose metrics to the best we’ve had in a few months – and reminded me that it takes constant promotion to make it real.

In order to help cover the costs of running the online station I went to ad supported for non subscribers, and ad-free for subscribers. Gotta thank one new subscriber this weekend.

I also learned that the order of songs is different depending on whether you’re a “free” listener (ad supported) or a subscription / VIP listener (non-ad).

Here’s an example from Monday (today) morning.

Ad supported three song set at 8:06AM
The Fray – Love Don’t Die
Elephant Revival – Birds And Stars
Leftover Salmon – Western Sky

VIP set at 8:07AM
Big Head Todd & The Monsters – Josephina
Yonder Mountain String Band – Criminal
Longest Day of the Year – Black Horse Canyon

These are the top ten songs you heard last week, through Saturday.

EdisonBe Someone
Fox St. – Somethin About You 
John OatesStone Cold Love
Megan BurttFast As I Go
The Motet123
Musketeer GripweedEnd of the Day
Nathaniel RateliffNothing to Show For
OneRepublicCounting Stars
P-NuckleThe System
The String Cheese IncidentOutside and Inside
