Monday MARCH 14, 2022 – Sixty-nine Colorado current year releases (March 2021 to March 2022) got some airtime on at least fifteen (there are a handful I don’t track) Colorado community and college radio stations this past week. That’s sixty-nine out of the two hundred that are currently on my tracking sheet. So, is that good or bad?

As things go, it’s pretty good. One station, where I’m proud to call home on Saturday mornings the past six years – 105.5 The Colorado Sound – typically spins thirty to thirty-two current Colorado titles a week at least once; NOT including what I play on the Colorado Playlist on Saturday (6AM) and Sunday (6PM).

Next is 88.9 KRFC Fort Collins, where djs there picked twenty-three titles to share this past week. Indie 102.3 typically features up to a dozen Colorado artists each month. About twenty or so current year Colorado titles were aired this past week at other stations around the state – including this week’s featured station, KSJD.

The Colorado Playlist relies on donations. Please donate at the bottom of the page.

FEATURED STATION OF THE WEEK

KSJD is a community/public radio station based in Cortez, Colorado that serves the Four Corners region of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, including the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and portions of the Navajo Nation.  The CP is aired Saturdays at 2PM

Antero Reservoir, Hartsel, Colorado February 2022

Monday FEB 28, 2022 – that picture tells a tale. We scouted out the area last week for a trip today/tomorrow for Milky Way shots. Can you say f’n COLD?! Hopefully, Claire and I will have a couple of new pictures to share with you next week.

oh .. music. Got swamped again this past week with new releases. Nothing that’s going to challenge The Lumineers (#1) or Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats (#2) position at the top of the charts, but some fun stuff. Big surprise; the debut single, Blue Skies, from Sweet Virginia cracked the TOP 5 this week along with the new album, Toward the Fray, from the Infamous Stringdusters.
