Chris K's Colorado Playlist

It’s May 22.  We’re nearly 5 full months into 2010.  I can’t figure out how to find out what album tracks and/or singles other stations in Colorado are playing, but fortunately KRFC has a great playlist generator that the djs there are very good at maintaining.  Here’s the most played locally produced tracks over the past five months at KRFC Fort Collins.

Thanks to the folks over at the DenverRadioNet for making sure that each month we’re able to see the Denver/Boulder METRO radio rankings along with their relative market share numbers. Congrats to public radio KCFR (Colorado Public Radio) for their top 10 numbers in the market, making them the #2 source behind News/Talk KOA for news. My preference is KCFR — not only for their NPR programming, but their excellent CPR (Colorado Public Radio) coverage of the news and other locally produced programs.

It’s funny that the acronym for Song(s) of the Day spells out sod… and that it’s yard work season … not that Greg Harris’ new album is one that makes me jump up and want to go cut grass – oh hell no.  This is a sit in my easy chair, put on the headphones, close my eyes and dream about cutting the grass album 😉

Now on the other hand, if you do need (like I do) some kind of groove to cut the grass (not that grass fool!) …. while I was hanging at Bandcamp catching the code for the new Greg Harris album, I also remembered that Bob Skizzum had offered up their new ep for a “name your price” (and for the cheapest amongst you, yes that does mean you can scarf it for “free”)
