News Notes and Spins – October 1 2013

Sorry I’m late guys. Well, not too late… still, what an intense month. Really. Thanks to the many hundreds of musicians and music industry support persons and radio announcers/djs for pulling out the stops during the recent flooding that took place. The initial “omg what the f’k just happened” moment has worn off and the “shit now what do I do” stage has set in. There is still a tremendous amount of work to be done … so with that, and because they support live local music as they do…

Oskar Blues has created the “Oskar Blues CAN’d Aid Foundation”. The organization is a registered Colorado Non-Profit Corporation that is currently awaiting recognition of its 501(c)(3) status. Donations will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term help to areas damaged by the floods. Funds raised will be distributed to the Lyons Community Foundation, the Longmont Community Foundation and the Community Foundation of Boulder County. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution, please visit www.foundation.oskarblues.com.

River’s Rising: Front Range Flood Relief 2013 was put together by jam scene fixtures and Colorado residents Tony Hume and Annabel Lukins who called upon their musical friends to help flood victims. The compilation features 28 live tracks from Colorado bands like Leftover Salmon, Jeff Brinkman, Elephant Revival, String Cheese Incident, DeVotchKa, Yonder Mountain String Band, Head for the Hills, and the Motet, and national jam acts including Furthur, Widespread Panic, Dumpstaphunk, Umphrey’s McGee and Soulive.

I am deeply thankful to the bands and the venues that have exerted tremendous efforts almost daily to help out those in need.

STATION NEWS and NOTES

I’ve added a new reporter this month, KSUT (Ignacio). They’re playing about what other stations like KUNC (Greeley) are playing .. about 10-12 current/recurrent titles. A discussion with the KSUT music director gave me pause to think about another conversation that another local radio guy and I had concerning regulations that affect what we can play when and what we can make available online.

There are rules. For instance, a radio station cannot play an entire album if they stream that show online, nor can they focus on just one act for more than a couple of songs consecutively. A station may not allow shows to be downloaded or streamed on demand. Another rule is that if a station is streaming they’re supposed to provide an online playlist. It doesn’t take much to find out who’s doing what correctly or incorrectly. Kudos to KSUT for realizing the rules. They will not be streaming the new Elephant Revival record in its entirety on Oct 4 – but they will air it over the air on terrestrial radio in its entirety.

KUNC is up to something. Be on the watch for a 24-7 streaming service. That’s all I know. Aside from that, the station is upgrading their coverage in the mountains which requires changing frequencies on a couple of their stations. KVNC (Vail) is now broadcasting at 90.9 FM ( formerly 90.7), and KMPB (Breckenridge) is now at 90.7 (formerly 88.7)

KBUT Community Radio is moving from 89.9 to 88.7 in Gunnison and expects to power up its new transmitter in Gunnison (KGNI) in mid October, although the recent government shutdown could throw a wrench in those plans.

The KGNI project represents a substantial increase in broadcast power in the Gunnison area and should present a stronger, more reliable signal to our listeners. Over time, we’ll replace our 40 watt translator with a 6000+ watt full-power transmitter.

News Notes and Spins – SEPTEMBER 1 2013

It’s official — August is the worst month of the year in terms of blog readership. I thought maybe we broke the August curse this year, but no…. not even close. We barely eeked out an increase over last year, hitting 1199 unique page visits … a far bit off our record 2,227 in May, and at 39 unique visits a day we’re really off of the 53 a day average for the year. I attribute that to the fact that I spend less time writing in August and more time on stage – so look for increased blogging activity in the next few months to make up for it LOL.

The Colorado Sound can now be heard every Sunday morning from 8AM-10AM on Radio 94.9 Colorado … www.radio949colorado.com. Radio 94.9 has committed to airing 1 Colorado track per hour of programming. That places this Clear Channel owned property right up on top of the heap with Open Air 1340 and KRFC (Fort Collins) in airing Colorado music.

STATION NEWS & NOTES

KBUT wrapped up another successful summer pledge drive on August 12th. With the support of our family of listeners near and far, KBUT met our goal of $42,000. KBUT is also in the midst of a capital campaign to cover expenses related to a new transmitter in Gunnison, CO. This 6,500 Watt transmitter (88.7 KGNI) will replace a low-powered translator that currently broadcasts at the same location. KBUT expects to be broadcasting from this more powerful and secure signal sometime in September. More information is available at http://www.kbut.org/powerup

KGNU has hired David Wilson as Station Manager. David is already working part-time training and starts full-time on September 17. Welcome David.

MUSIC NEWS & NOTES

I sent out a couple of new releases in August that feature two of the state’s wonderful female voices – Alysa Kraft from the Patti Fiasco, and Monica Whittington from the Monocle Band. I also received the new album from Gabrielle Louise – which by all standards should win best packaging of the year. I was also fortunate enough to work with a few of the best at this year’s Bohemian Nights at New West Fest … including SHEL, Rachel James (Rachel & the Kings), Hayley Helmericks (Snake Rattle Rattle Snake), Erica Brown, and Cassie Taylor – and equally, Jennifer Lane and Sophie Reed received standing ovations for their performances this year. So that got me to thinking… what are the top female fronted records right now?

1. Cassie Taylor – Out of My Mind
2. Paper Bird – Rooms
3. The Patti Fiasco – Small Town Lights
4. Finders & Youngberg – I Don’t Want Love You Won’t Give Until I Cry EP (Erin Youngberg is co-lead singer in band)
5. Bonnie & The Clydes – Wrong Side Up
6. SHEL – SHEL
7. Monocle Band – Monocle Band
8. Esme Patterson – All Princes, I
9. Ending People – Fill Your Lungs
10. The Whiskey Bottles – Grandville

Of course this takes NOTHING away from anyone else – we’re tremendously blessed to have had some of the best female singers, songwriters, and musicians in the country here in CO…

In other news – the Motet is in the studio with Colin Bricker at Mighty Fine Productions in Denver. Supercollider just wrapped up tracking with Colin. Leftover Salmon is working on a new album. String Cheese Incident is working on a new album. The new Richie Furay is closer to getting to us. There’s going to be a new Piedmont Brothers Band record that will feature the likes of Rick Roberts, Jock Bartley (Firefall) and Richie Furay… Sean Kelly of the Samples thinks the new record will be done right after the first of the year, and there’s a new album coming out from Chris Daniels featuring Freddie Gowdy of Freddi & Henchi fame… I’d look for that one maybe next spring, but Chris HAS been known to surprise, so we’ll see.

Former Denverite, and Denver native Rusty Young, who still rocks “Denver” as home on his Facebook page, has been inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame – and right on the plague it says “Rusty Young grew up playing steel guitar in country bands around Denver…” No doubt he’ll eventually wind up in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame as well. Rusty has also just released another Poco record, “All Fired Up,” although he’s the only member of the original gang that appears – making it a weak “Poco” release, but a pretty damned strong Rusty Young release.

VIDEO PICKS – AUGUST

This month’s PICK-7 includes jazz guitarist Matt Fuller, Danielle Ate the Sandwich, Colorado Springs hip-hop The ReMinders, the Raven & the Writing Desk, Andy Palmer, SHEL, and Sean Kennedy.

NEWS NOTES & SPINS AUG 1 2013

722. Multiply 1 x 24 hrs x 7 days x 4.3 weeks …that’s how much Colorado music can be aired in one month, if a station played only one cut per hour. If one song got played 3 times in 24 hours it would receive 90 spins in one month. That’s a remarkable number as I look at the spins data from this past month.

OpenAir 1340 spun Gregory Alan Isakov‘s new album, The Weatherman, 92 times in July. After that there isn’t any comparison at all. It’s actually pretty rare to see a Colorado album get even 30 spins in a month at any public / community or college station.

Pretty Lights latest, A Color Map of the World, had the most impressive gains of the month – in radio and in sales. In radio it jumped from #30 to #2 on the strength of repetitive spins at KRCC (Colorado Springs). In sales it was announced that the vinyl record went #1 nationally, while overall physical and digital album sales placed them in the TOP 40 nationally. Ironically, the album scored nowhere as many spins as Isakov’s record did at 1340 ..

Halden Wofford & the Hi*Beams lays righteous claim to #1 “country” band in Colorado status with their now 5th album “Rocky Mountain Honky Tonk” rocking a debut at #5, with 6 of our 14 reporting stations showing spins this month.

It’s notable that only KRFC (Fort Collins) and OpenAir 1340 are presently in the 722+ cuts of CO music a month club. And if all goes according to the buzz, there will soon be a commercial radio station committed to the same kinds of numbers – with much higher per month rotations per song than we see now.

722 … a remarkable number.

I updated the entire rotation at The Colorado Sound Live365. Check out the schedule page to see when the TOP 40 is playing. I posted the current rotation of artists here. The Colorado Sound Live365 is the only 24/7/365 all Colorado (and Colorado connected) music station online (that I know of). So, if you’re in the mood to catch 20 mins of some Rocky mountain goodness, tune in .. and share, pls. It’s different than the show I do weekly. That show features the latest breaking music, news and notes from around the scene – so catch both as often as you can 😉

One more major festival this season for me –> Bohemian Nights at New West Fest. Aug 16-18. I’m stoked. This is the 9th year now for this event. And aside from the big national acts who are brought in to anchor the event, it’s the insane representation of acts from here in Colorado that gets me giddy. The Samples come off a summer filled with successful regional festival shows to headline the Friday night kick-off show with Fierce Bad Rabbit, SHEL, and Samuel Mouton. Born In the Flood does one of their reunion shows this summer to open for Ben Harper & Charlie Musslewhite on Saturday night … and Colorado Music Hall of Fame inductee (November) Chris Daniels brings his Better Days show to the Mountain Ave stage to open for Leon Russell on Sunday. In between? Download the app …
