The Colorado Sound – S7 EP31 Aug/Sept 2013

chris at ob hmls sunday june 16 2013Because I’m working on the News Notes & Spins column I really don’t have time to devote to this week’s PLAYLIST post.  That said, I did just get in the new release from Gabrielle Louise.  It’s one of the most stunning looking releases I’ve seen in years.  One of the most talked about new projects to emerge this month comes from Joel Van Horne (formerly of Carbon Choir) in the role of Covenhoven, both a place (a cabin in WY) and the man.  This video from the debut due out SEPT 24.

The Colorado Sound – S7 EP30 Aug 2013

chris at ob hmls sunday june 16 2013Got <10 mins?  Back in “the day” we used to do airchecks – both as a way of critique and for possible job openings.  In those days it was less about the music and more about the show – how well the dj did, since the music was largely someone else’s ultimate responsibility and what we really wanted to focus on was the way the dj presented things.

As I was driving around reminiscing on that subject a few days ago it occurred to me to do that for you this week – give you an aircheck of sorts, but one more focused on the music than on what I might have to say – though I included some of that for glue and continuity.  I hope it’s enough to encourage you to listen to the weekly broadcasts aired around the state.  

If you haven’t heard yet, you can now hear the Colorado Sound every Sunday morning at 10AM on Radio 94.9 Colorado.
