YouTube – Chris K's Colorado Playlist

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, AMZY, King 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.

In March, iTunes reported a negative growth in new music submitted for the first time in history. Apple Admits That Fewer Artists Are Releasing Music on iTunes…

In June, elitedaily.com reported “How One Generation Was Single-Handedly Able To Kill The Music Industry.”

In 2000, no one I knew could have imagined smartphones, or iPads, or nearly ubiquitous wi-fi and broadband technologies, sufficiently powerful and cheap enough to allow for unfettered streaming of audio and video content. NO ONE could have imagined YouTube, or the impact it would have on how we discover new music.

We used to talk a lot about bringing down the industry. We used to talk a lot about how everyone who wanted to should be able to do music. Today, you can make a recording for almost nothing. Today, you can buy an instrument for the cost of the software to power it. Today all you need is an iPhone.

WOW …

Today the industry as we knew it has become something else – and it feels weird for a lot of us.

How many cds have you purchased this year? How many singles or albums have you downloaded (and paid for)? How many small local shows have you attended this year? How many Colorado acts have you seen live, or purchased recordings from?

If music is free to consume, how do we cover the cost of getting it to the consumer?

That’s a hard question to answer.
