Chris K's Colorado Playlist

TOP 100 Jan-June 2013

I went back and pulled every single bit of data I had on hand from each of the past six months. Titles released to and added by radio between Jan 2012 and June 2013 were factored. It’s my extreme hope that you’re one of the hard core who actively seeks out new music from here in Colorado.

You won’t find everything represented here … there’s no metal, no extreme punk, hard core, rap or other out on the edge types of music. Nor is there any classical or New Age represented. Sorry …. if it were getting played at any of the stations I monitor it would show up. And that isn’t to say that there are not independent shows around the state that do feature those styles by national/international acts.

Same with jazz… there are a lot of jazz shows around the state. Jazz would definitely have a bigger impact on the charts if more of it was making its way to jazz jocks around the state. There are always six to ten jazz records out, and outside of KUVO and KRFC I’m just not seeing the spins at other stations… occasionally I’ll spot something on KGNU, but aside from that it’s pretty skinny out there when it comes to Colorado jazz being repped.

(CC) = Colorado Connection = perhaps like Sera Cahoone you were raised here and moved on. Or the Piedmont Brothers Band that has some of our most classic musicians on their records – even though technically the band is based out of Georgia and Italy. Tim O’Brien may not live here anymore, but he’s an integral part of our musical history – as is Bob Lind, Javon Jackson, India.Arie, Tia Fuller, Katie Herzig, Judy Collins, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and others.

You may not recognize the names that follow, but I hope that you’re intrigued enough to search a few out and buy their music.

The Colorado Sound S7 EP25 July 2013

So I had an interesting meeting this week. I met with Clear Channel NoCO market manager Stu Haskell, whom I’ve known for a few decades now – and 107.9 The Bear morning man and program director Doc Jarnagin (he’s been on the air at the Bear for 13 years now .. WOW … who knew?) – about the new station, Radio 94.9FM. Essentially, it’s a transponder frequency tied to their HD2 signal (HD radio is not the same as HDTV).

At 100 watts of radiant power, don’t expect to hear this station outside of Fort Collins, Loveland, and perhaps Greeley (I haven’t made the drive to check it out). Once you drop south of Berthoud you lose it. However, iHeart Radio and their website are both good places to listen in at if you’re out of listening range to the terrestrial signal.

From a programming perspective, it’s what is known as a AAA station (adult album alternative) – akin if you will to KBCO with considerably more depth, and touches of early era KTCL programming philosophy. Both Doc and Stu made it a point that this new station would have a CO focus – but the details are still being worked out. The actual percentage of CO music to be focused upon appears to be up in the air. Stu commented at one point they might do one featured CO cut an hour (roughly 7-8% of an hourly playlist).

We agreed in principle that The Colorado Sound would be a nice addition to the programming, as well as my help in consulting them on what’s hot in CO. The actual day and time they’d place The Colorado Sound is also still being considered, with Stu suggesting Sunday nights. The conversation has only just begun –

— in the meantime don’t forget to check out The Colorado Sound @ Live365 for an all day all Colorado musical experience … stream it on your tablet, laptop, or pc … or via the Live365 app. G3 and G4 data plans work really well, and surprisingly doesn’t eat that much data as I’ve learned from listening to the station in the car and at the gym every day.

New music coming next week from: Dave Preston, Joe Johnson, the Escape Goats, AdrienneO, the Gristle Gals Band and more … make sure to check out the stations and schedules page ..

No new music shares this week — other than the Video of the Week pick from The ReMinders out of Colorado Springs – who I happened upon when I was invited to vote for the best of the Springs here recently …

News Notes & Spins July 1, 2013

June 30, 2013. WoW what a month. Truthfully the busiest June I’ve ever had, adding to the busiest year I’ve ever had. Thank you to the Bohemian Foundation, and to the Fort Collins Downtown Business Association for making that so …and to the several bands/artists I’m now working with directly… and to Oskar Blues who I do a fair amount of work for …and to all of the stations in the state now airing the show, along with the new and improving metrics on the website and at The Colorado Sound Live365 and The Colorado Sound TV. Thank you …seriously. I mean that. When my wife and I decided we were going to take this journey 13 years ago I never thought this is where we’d be today. It’s been a truly remarkable ride so far… and we’re a real long way from being done.

We didn’t get a lot of news from the stations this month. I know that three, KGNU, KAFM, and KRFC still have HELP WANTED SIGNS out … check out their websites for more information.

In other station news, I reported on this earlier in the month, but it bears repeating. There is a new radio station in NoCo… Radio 94.9 Colorado. It’s a small low power 100 watt station with reach into Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, etc .. and according to market manager Stu Haskell (repeatedly) it will have a strong Colorado music accent throughout the day parts – in other words, you’ll hear CO music right up next to some of the biggest names in adult rock nationally. Submit Your Music To Us 88.9FM KRFC (Fort Collins) is now airing The Colorado Sound on Saturday nights from 8-10PM, with Hour 1 repeated on Tuesday nights from 7-8PM and Hour 2 repeated on Thursday night from 7-8PM.

I’ve updated the playlists at The Colorado Sound Live365 and The Colorado Sound TV. The radio station is broken down into Hitmakers (classic rock, oldies, classic hits, etc), Funk n Jazz n Nugz (urban contemporary, jazz, soul, funk, hiphop), Rock in the Rockies, CO’mericana, TOP 40 (current TOP 40 chart as seen here) and a nightime/weekender mix made up of cuts from the other segments. Check out the schedule here.

So about three weeks ago I put up a poll and asked what your 3 favorite Colorado releases of the year have been so far. I didn’t get what I wanted out of it. What I found out is that three or four of the acts have very active fan bases LOL. However, mid-way through the year, the TOP 3 Colorado releases at Colorado radio are:

DeVotchKa – Live with the Colorado Symphony
The Lumineers – The Lumineers
Otis Taylor – My World Is Gone

This whole thing with WordPress, YouTube, and Live365 is really starting to tickle me in the oh so not really funny kinda way … so, you might just easily go to this link … where all of them will stream seamlessly for you …. This month’s video pick six = Churchill, Arthur Lee Land, Old Daisy featuring Katy McAllister, Wasteland Hop, Omniism, and Havok.
