Colorado Playlist S10 EP38 OCT 2016

Quick poll .. in the spirit of the election season … recently I changed the MMMM so that you can vote YES – KEEP IT or NO – DO NOT KEEP on each new shared track.  Should I keep doing it?

Keep your fingers crossed.  Looks like we may be adding a new station for the show in a major ski resort area.  (is there an emoji for that?)

We’re now in the final week for new entries for 2016.  November 1 officially marks the start of the 2017 release season.  Be watching for your chance to help me select the Best of 2016.

I’m not a big fan of late night shows in general, and am even less thrilled when headliners don’t go on until 10PM on a Sunday night.  Such was the case last night (Sunday) when my son and I attempted to see two shows – where the headliners did not hit the stage until 9:45 and 10PM respectively.

Since both of us are working men, and my son had to be at work at 6AM, we both realized that if we didn’t get home by 10:30 or 11PM at the latest, we’d have short sleep cycles.  As a result, we missed one headliner completely, and only caught two songs of the other before needing to head home.

To those who have the wherewithal to stay out late on a Sunday night – good on you.  But wouldn’t it make more sense to actually start shows closer to 8PM, with headliners on by 9PM so that working stiffs can be out by 10PM?  Or am I, and my son, just too old for school now?  😦  if true…. especially since we are both musicians with bands that play out.  But case being what it is I overslept the alarm by over 2 hours this morning.  <smh>

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

I conceived of this idea as a way for you to discover some of the new music I played on the show, and to give you the chance to let me know which of the tracks you like, and think I should keep in rotation.  I get a lot of feedback from fans about what’s liked .. and what isn’t.

In order to be included in the MMMM poll, the band/artist must have an embeddable file available on SoundCloud, BandCamp (my favorite), Reverbnation or YouTube.

It’s not a competition.  It’s just a gauge of how well you like the songs I added this week.

Colorado Playlist S10 EP37 OCT 2016

Happy Monday.  With the political world in turmoil, and rookie QB Paxton Lynch taking a tumble, or two … or six … let’s turn our attention to this week’s new music on the Colorado Playlist.

One big change this week.  I’ve changed how the MMMM (Monday Morning Music Meeting) works.  See below.  I think it will give us a better indication of which songs you think we should KEEP or NOT KEEP in the Playlist.

Thanks to Grim&Darling for the radio premiere of their new single Rather Not, which is also the Video Pick of the Week.

I realize this has nothing to do with music or musicians here in Colorado (other than GOATZ! playing this event), but this is an important organization in my life.

Last winter, during Mrs Goat’s final days, I promised that her (our) daughter would always have a forever Dad.  Our daughter was 40 years old at the time of the adoption — and adopting an adult child of that age is not something that you see every day, by the admission of the judge who finalized the adoption.

Adoption Dreams executive director Cindy Sarai and her staff came to the rescue and expedited our adoption, which was completed four days before my wife passed away.  I’m honored to have been asked to be the Master of Ceremonies at this year’s fundraiser.  I hope to see many friends at this event.  Click on picture for more details.

Colorado Playlist S10 EP36 OCT 2016

Sometimes a song hits me hard.  Mawule‘s “Black is Beautiful” came to me via email a few weeks ago, and I had to wait to air it – although I listened to it numerous times in my own time and space.  Born Ebenezer Yebuah, Mawule, was born and raised in Accra, Ghana. He and his family moved to Denver when he was 10 years old and he’s remained here ever since.

While other Denver hip-hop artists are receiving more praise, and getting signed to bigger, more nationally recognized labels, Mawule’s Black is Beautiful stands out among all the hip-hop tracks I normally receive.

Other than one other cut, from The Longest Day of the Year, “Black is Beautiful” is the only other song in this week’s MMMM (Monday Morning Music Meeting).  The other acts did not have shareable embeds for their new cuts.

bobby-walker#cancersucks Colorado legacy bluesman Bobby Walker is the latest in a run of brothers and sisters in the scene the past couple of years who have been diagnosed with and is undergoing treatment for cancer.  In Bobby’s case, it’s throat cancer.  Bobby is good about posting updates at his FB pg.

Props to the International Blues Society for being there to help out with a major contribution.  More than $11,000 has been raised via GoFundMe to offset the costs that Bobby is facing as he deals with everything.  We’ve lost a couple of our friends to cancer the past year – and a couple have had successful treatments.  I’m hoping we get many more years of Mr. Walker’s wonderful voice.  Much love my friend.
