Monday Oct 22 2018 … Here in about another two weeks we enter the 2019 release year – which will include any NEW releases submitted for airplay after Nov 1.
2018 has been a rather amazing year. Currently in the CP song catalog for 2018 there are over 390 song titles … from over 100 LPs alone – not including EPs and single releases.
So far this year I’ve seen more singles released than at any time I’ve done this show over the paste 12 years. This weekend I spoke with the owners of one of our prestigious studios. They affirmed they’ve seen more singles being produced than at any time they could recall.
Basically, it’s going to make for an interesting end of year “Best Of.”
Congratulations to Randall Frazier and Elisa Canali. Randall is the long time production manager and talent buyer for Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox as well as a longtime label owner (Helmut Room), sound and recording engineer, producer, tour manager and musician in the scene. Randall and Elisa met when Randall took her on as an intern learning sound. She is now Randall’s assistant and soon to be legally married life partner. Much love to both …
Ophelia’s has also announced they’re launching a new label based on live recordings that Randall will produce at the venue. The launch is set for early 2019.
The Colorado Music Hall of Fame class for 2018 has been announced. It’s a night dedicated to AEG’s Chuck Morris, who got started promoting shows in Boulder in the late 60s. Also being inducted – 97.3FM KBCO, a pioneering station with air talent that reaches back into the 70s and 80s.
