CP S13 EP15 2019

Monday April 8, 2019

When I started doing this show 13 years ago this weekend, I had already been booking bands and or consulting on Colorado talent for a handful of years.  It was because of those bands, bands such as Yo, Flaco!, Love.45, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, DeVotchKa and countless others, that I thought I was seeing something very special in our state.

When the Fray hit big with How to Save A Life in 2005, it wasn’t the first time a Colorado band hit big, but it was by far the biggest a Colorado band had ever hit.  By 2015, the single How to Save A Life, became the 4th best-selling song in digital music history.  OneRepublic came along and destroyed those records with Apologize in 2007 and Counting Stars in 2014, a song that is still by far the biggest hit in Colorado Music History.

I look forward to seeing that lies ahead for us as our scene continues to explode nationally, and internationally.  One thing to look forward to this is the BEST OF THE DECADE … I’ll start working on that here soon.  In the meantime, I hope you’ll check out this week’s MMMM and vote to either KEEP or DELETE the songs from the Colorado Playlist.

Well, I have no April Fools bombs to drop (or mics for that matter).  And, there are only three new songs in the MMMM for you to vote on this week.  Enjoy.  Last week was spring break, even for us professor goat types.  Happy spring.

The Colorado Playlist is funded partly by the sponsors on this page along with whatever tips I get from you via the funding and sponsorship page.  Other funding comes from whatever money I can personally contribute – so if you’re inclined, and you like the debut, I’d be grateful if you’d download for whatever amount you’d like.  And thank you.

The Flip Side VIP Playlist Side A: The Interview w/ Chris K.

Hi gang.  A couple of weeks ago I did an interview with Michael Spearnak on 88.9FM KRFC Radio Fort Collins for his program The Flip Side VIP Playlist Side A: The Interview.  I just got permission to share this with you.  It aired on Wednesday March 20 at 6pm.  The Flip Side VIP Playlist Side B: The Playlist airs Wednesday March 27 at 6PM and focuses on the music that Michael has selected to showcase my life.

KRFC is where the Colorado Playlist got its start in April 2006.  Thanks to all of the incredible friends there who have supported me and my cause the past 13+ years.
