MONDAY SEPT 04, 2023 – HAPPY LABOR DAY. Women’s voices take over the Monday Morning Music Meeting (MMMM) this week with new releases from Esme Patterson, Wildermiss, The Motet and Bonnie & Taylor Sims.

To say it takes a lot to get me out – and to drive almost ninety minutes for an event – is an understatement. It has to be something pretty special. That’s the big takeaway from the 6th Annual 53:14 Music Video Experiment that took place Friday night in Fort Collins. 10 bands, 10 filmmakers, a $1000 budget and 53 hours 14 minutes to produce a music video. You can find past videos on the website. Look for new videos here when they get released.

September is travel month for me and Claire. Here’s the show schedule for the month.

WHAT #COMUSIC IS GETTING SPINS

Top of Trailridge Road Thursday Aug 17 courtesy of Clear Vistas Photography

MONDAY AUG 21 – Well, that road trip to SW Colorado last week meant I didn’t get a regular episode of the show produced. Stations were free to choose two from the nine special episodes of the show I have archived: Colorado In the 80s. Colorado In the 90s PT1 and PT2. Colorado Music Hall of Fame 2011-2022, Colorado Women of the 20th Century. Colorado Women of the 21st Century. Colorado Award Winners and Superstars PT1. Best of Caribou Ranch. Songs for and About Colorado.

Don’t forget – many (most) of the stations the Colorado Playlist is broadcast from archive up to two weeks worth of shows. Check links at stations and times to find out.

The Monday Morning Music Meeting (MMMM) is a way for you to let me know what you think of new music emerging from around the state. Results enter into which cuts stay in rotation, and which cuts make the final “best of” list.

This weekend I put together some new Spotify playlists.
COLORADO MUSIC HALL OF FAME – 79 songs, 5 hr 16 min.
COLORADO 1990s: 20 songs, 1 hr 20 min.
COLORADO 2000s: 30 songs, 2 hr 1 min.
COLORADO 2010s: 40 songs, 2 hr 42 min.

WHAT #COMUSIC IS GETTING SPINS

SUNDAY AUGUST 20 was National Radio Day. As you undoubtedly know by now, I track Colorado music from over a dozen community/public and college stations around the state, including what I play on the Colorado Playlist.

Here’s what received at least one spin on one radio station somewhere in Colorado over the past three weeks. There are seventy-nine titles listed.

LP = album (5 or more songs)
EP = extended play (3-5 songs)
SP = single play (1-2 songs)
* = Colorado expats, as long as they were born and/or raised here, or got their career started here or there is some other reason to include them.
