Claire and I are heading off to the Atlantic shores for vacation this week, so if things are slow to post or you don’t see the HOT SPINS on the Colorado Playlist Facebook page next Sunday, that’s why. I’ll try to catch up when we return. Until then, don’t forget to tune into your favorite publicly funded radio station that airs this show or enjoy the archives on Mixcloud.

THE COLORADO PLAYLIST NEEDS YOUR HELP

The Colorado Playlist is the only show showcasing Colorado music statewide. Your support is essential to keeping it on the air.

I make this show available at no cost to public radio stations, which as you may know are facing their own revenue issues now with the loss of CPB funding. Because of those CPB issues, what little money I was making is now $0.

Please make donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 or use the form below. Thank you, sincerely – chrisk

To learn about getting your business heard across thirty FM frequencies and on the Colorado Playlist other assets, please email chriskmusic@gmail.com

Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs. Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive.

Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) and new songs (N) I shared in the show this week.

Results enter into determining which cuts stay in the library and which cuts might eventually make it to the annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll and the “some of the best of the year” show.
