Which of the following titles do you own one or more cuts from in your collection? That’s a better indication of what your favorites are to me than any other consideration. Cuz if you don’t have it, how can it be your favorite, right? So, only pick from those you actually have in your collection please. And do share.

News Notes and Spins – April 1, 2014
One year ago today I launched The Colorado Sound Live365. Yes, I jumped in without accounting for future costs. This past November I was freaking out a bit. Thanks for the many incredible personal donations that got me thru until now.
We are now officially beginning year 2 thanks to the support of a couple of very good friends – Dani Grant and Chuck Grewe. Dani owns the Mishawaka Amphitheatre, and founded SpokesBuzz. Chuck and his brother Bill own Colorado Case Company. Chuck and I were in a band together in the 90s. Thanks to their generous support each month I’ll be able to stretch out a bit and market what we’re trying to do statewide … and that’s where you come in.
I get asked all the time what’s it take to make an impact. The answer is really simple – it takes listeners. It takes LOTS of listeners .. thousands .. not just a dozen or even a hundred, or two …it takes THOUSANDS of listeners to have an impact. It takes THOUSANDS of listeners bugging local community and public radio stations to be aware of and to play Colorado music – to interview Colorado talent … print can only do so much – radio is the key.
Internet radio is cool – but it’s not in many dashboards, so while I would love for you to dial up The Colorado Sound Live 365 in your car as I do, I have to be aware that most of us are not carrying around smart phones tied into our car stereos, with unlimited data plans for streaming. But there is something you can do.
You can call the stations on our reporting list, and thank them for what they do play, and request them to do more. In some cases, as I’ve noted below, I am no longer publishing results from any station that does not air at least 10 Colorado titles in a given month. That seems fair – we’ll highlight those that do… and those that don’t? Well, it’s up to you.
If your favorite local non-comm community/public station doesn’t show up, call them up and ask what it would take for them to play more than ten current titles … there are over 300 to pick from after all.
And, yes, please do hit The Colorado Sound Live365 link here and watch some Colorado videos on The Colorado Sound TV page …

NEWS & NOTES
MARCH 3 UPDATE – Today is the 4th year anniversary of this blog site. Wordpress was nice enough to send me that notice – or I would have spaced it out.
When you scroll down to the TOP 40 for the month you will notice one very significant “improvement.” After a few years of procrastination I went ahead and provided links to the artists’ online site. Please visit those artists you are unfamiliar with.
I’m pretty pleased to announce new records for page views and page views per day for the month of February .. the old record was set in 2012. Stream-starts at The Colorado Sound Live365 have been okay, and all things considered I think for the first year it’s been pretty good. Folks are hitting the station page in numbers that match up well with the visits here, but stream-starts still proves to be a low percentage.
I think maybe some folks are looking at the top five most recently played, to see if they know it, and then moving on pretty quickly .. that’s just a guess though. When folks do start a stream they listen an average of 20 minutes – so about five songs on average.
THE CONDITIONAL TOP 3 – The stations I track airplay at are among the state’s top non-commercial public/community and/or college stations. I only track one commercial station, Radio 94.9 Colorado (NoCo). It is not easy to track commercial radio spins. Commercial radio plays music from here in Colorado. Stations like KBCO, KBPI, KTCL, and others over the years have been incredibly supportive of Colorado music. That’s what fuels two of the CONDITIONAL TOP 3. The third link is a 1/5 member Colorado Connection (CC).
The Fray and OneRepublic are two bands that non-comm radio largely ignores. Every once in a while I’ll see an isolated jock play a track from either/or, but it’s never enough to really make it to the top of the charts as measured here. Commercial radio/media however blasts both bands all over the airwaves and Internet. Based on the commercial media exposure alone, both of the new/recent albums from these bands are #1 and #2 among Colorado releases in the state. That’s not to say that Big Head Todd doesn’t receive their share of commercial radio airplay – but it’s much more limited than what the Fray or OneRepublic receive.
The #3 Conditional TOP 3 pick is Hard Working Americans, which features keyboardist Chad Steahly, also one of the founding members of Great American Taxi. While I was pulling spins from around the state, I was blown away at the love this band is getting right now. Truth is, among the non-comms there were enough plays to make it #1 (disallowing the Fray and OneRepublic).
FEATURED VIDEOS FEB 2014
The six song video playlist for February (in no particular order) includes Red Devil Magic, H*Wood, Katie Herzig, Safe Boating is No Accident, In the Whale, and Devan Blake Jones … this is one of those month’s where I got my closet dance freak happening. (no kids, you do not want to see that) 😉
