July 11, 2022 – As I stated last week, taking NOTHING away from Alysia Kraft’s brilliant solo debut, First Light – that album’s debut at #2 in the JUNE TOP 30 and landing at #1 in last week’s TOP 5, happened largely because it was featured heavily on Indie 102.3 in June. I expected to see it fall …

First Light fell from #1 last week to a tie for #13 with three other titles. Interestingly, a flurry of spins at a handful of mountain town stations this past week propelled David Star‘s September 2021 release, Touchstones, to the #1 spot for the week.

CP S15:EP43 2021

Monday Oct 25, 2021 – Another weekend gone and another trip out of town to visit another of Colorado’s wonderful independently programmed community radio stations. This week we visited Janet and Jimi at KOYC LPFM in Pueblo. They’re fairly new so they don’t stream yet, but they do support music from Pueblo and around the region. If you’re in the area, tune in 98.5FM.

There was only ONE change in this week’s Colorado TOP 5 — A.J. Fullerton jumped back in, with Little Trips slipping back one spot. That was it .. Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats, The Lumineers and The Velveteers remain in the top three.

MMMM NOTE = The YouTube video file for Trash Cat – The Only Person That I Like will be live on TUESDAY OCT 26 .. make sure to come back and check it out.
