WHAT’S STREAMING? MAY 9 ’25

I produce the Colorado Playlist on Tuesdays/Wednesdays for airplay Saturday-Friday. Every Friday is my music discovery day, where I scour Spotify and YouTube for new additions to Colorado 2025 100.

When Colorado 2025 gets to 100 titles, it’s one in and one out. Seven new adds this week = seven titles dropped. A note: not everything I add here makes it to the weekly show.

NEW ADDS THIS WEEK
Big Gigantic
Fluorescence (EDM/Hip-hop) This is dancefloor mania! It goes in my workout soundtrack immediately. Big gigantic energy! (not yet on YouTube, as of May 9).

Brendan ForrestYoung and High (Americana, folk) The forests of the San Juans have a sound named Brendan Forrest (no pun intended).

The Hawthorne ExperienceIn2 (Rock) They could just as easily call themselves the Chameleon Brotherhood for the diversity of styles they explore from surf-rock to funk, sometimes within one song. In2 shows echoes of the psychedelic folk-rock of the mid-sixties with flourishes of jamband funk and rap.

Hunter James and the TitanicWeekend Holds (Rock) It’s a bit of a cliche to compare bands like this to Fleetwood Mac, but that is exactly where they fit. And kudos to Hunter James; quickly emerging as my producer of the year.

Manic FocusLay Me Down (EDM) When your city is at the top of the EDM world, and EDM is at the top of what your city listens to, what you bring better be good to stand out. Manic brings it again.

Squeaky Feet The Detective (Rock) Berklee graduates insane musicians. This is insane. Elements of metal, prog-rock, jazz fusion, and groove. Lots and lots and lots of groove. In the pocket – groove. Inspired by King Crimson + Rush + Weather Report + Dopapod.

White Rose Motor OilHit In the Face! (VI) (Americana, cowpunk) WRMO has redefined and owns Colorado cowpunk, and squarely hits you in the face with it! (pun intended).

I started thinking about what genres/styles are most listened to on the CP 2025 streaming playlists. So I broke them down. I kept the genres pretty simple. 60% of the TOP 10 Colorado Playlist 2025 100 titles are EDM.

Live Music Colorado featuring  LiveMusicMegaSearch™

CP S12 EP43 2018

 Monday Nov 12, 2018

HAPPY VETERANS DAY
NEVER FORGET 

As we approach the midway point of November, it seems that site traffic has hit a hard roadblock of sorts. I hope you’ll remember to stop by and check out the new music in the MMMM and vote to KEEP or DELETE.

As this is the time of the year to give thanks – I cannot give enough to the stations and listeners who make this show possible.  I would love to meet you … and with that I’ll be appearing with my long time musical partner Chris Jackowski and local teenage fiddle phenom Jackson Earles at Red Truck Beer Company in Fort Collins on NOV 17, and with my full electric band lineup at Oskar Blues Homemade Liquids and Solids in Longmont on NOV 24.  I hope you can come by so I can thank you in person for your support.

NEW this week YouTube Colorado Playlist of all the tracks from this week’s episode .. which includes new MMMM tracks from Foxfeather, AMZYKing Eddie, AMZY, Kid Reverie, Joe Johnson, and Tnertle.

Make sure you follow me on Spotify to find out what new artists I might be checking out.  This week’s Spotify playlist is short some fine tracks from SUCH, Angie Stevens & the Beautiful Wreck, Zephyr and Alpha Centauri

I found all of this week’s tracks on YouTube – the first CP YouTube weekly playlists.  Pls let me know what you think.


At Bohemian Foundation, our focus is on building community …by coming together to create and enjoy music.


VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

Speaking of Zephyr — very very happy that they along with original lead guitarist Tommy Bolin will be inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2019.

Also being inducted is the truly legendary Freddie-Henchi Band.  Both Zephyr and the Freddi-Henchi Band were signed early on their careers in the late 60s, but wound up being more regionally famous as time went on;   Zephyr until Candy’s death in 1984, and the FHB until the mid to late 80s when various life issues (drugs, booze, etc) decimated the band.

FHB would re-emerge in the mid 90s for a brief run.  Freddi “Love” Gowdy appears with Chris Daniels & the Kings featuring Freddi Gowdy today.
