CO Playlist – S12 EP01 2018

WOW … 2018 … 12 years on the air this year.  THANK YOU!

There was some really great music out this past week, with new singles from Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats and Rob Drabkin dropping within a couple of days of each other.

It’s also Rob Drabkin’s birthday Jan 19 … Happy Birthday brother goat!

The new single from Pretty Mouth, “This Poison Loves You,” is the first in a string of singles being released by the band as they are “able to afford it.”

Fort Collins music fans have a lot to be excited for as native son Seth Strickland returns from New Orleans after several years and puts together a new reggae trio with Otis Lande (Euforquestra) and Jonny Jyemo (Jyemo Club) called Green Buddha. Their debut is the single “Venice.

Seth has also teamed up with Subdudes bassist/vocalist Tim Cook, who happens also to be Seth’s godfather.  The duo recently appeared in their debut supporting Ruthie Foster at  Daniel’s Hall/Swallow Hill Music in Denver.

Colorado Playlist – S11 EP47

AND THE NOMINEES ARE

WEEK 2
COMES DOWN DEC 20

Last year when I put this list out I had 80 titles up for consideration.  This year there are 120.  That’s a 50% increase in the number of titles that made it onto the list of nominations, and over a 50% increase in the number of titles submitted for consideration, which I lost track of.

If you’re unfamiliar with the titles on the list I do encourage you to do a little digging and discover something new.

VIDEO PICKS OF 2017 

I went through all of the videos that I collected from this past year and put together what I consider my top 26 (yeah, I know) picks of the year.  The rest is up to you to decide.  We’ll narrow it all down in our year end Best Of edition.
