The Colorado Sound – V4 EP11 2012
Okay, this is late this week – just a day, but still … I had six events to do in four days … including two of the most incredible days of the Denver UMX I can remember as an emcee over the past nine years. Between that and four straight nights of doing sound, I’m feeling a bit foggy and brain dead (and slightly hearing damaged). I know that I’ll miss someone I saw on stage or in the crowd but I do have to point out some notables … starting with the Yawpers on Friday night.
When you see two guys with acoustic guitars plus a drummer take the stage and you’re asking where the bass player and electric instruments are and the band says “this is it” you begin to wonder if those responsible for booking the band even bothered to check the band out previously — seriously. You just don’t see this type of set up … and virtually never on a Friday night in a room that doesn’t do acoustic music on Friday nights. BUT – this is NO “just simply acoustic” band. Never fear – these guys literally and figuratively “rock the house.” Given that Band Guru Mark Bliesener (Danielle Ate the Sandwich and several nationals) showed up and let me know he was the band’s manager – it became very obvious very quickly that this is a band on the verge of blowing up regionally. Look for great things — and get thee to a show. Their ep, Savage Blue, just does not do this band justice. Make the trip kids .. it’s worth it.
Shout outs to many friends at the UMX this weekend. The UMX is the official audition for the Capitol Hill People’s Fair, now in its 41st year. Most of the folks playing in bands were not even born then… check it out at PeoplesFair.com … there were over 80 acts auditioning for one of about 40 open slots in this year’s festival, coming up June 2&3 at Civic Park in Denver. All in all about 110 acts will take one of six stages this June. The bands that came out to audition came loaded, locked, and ready to rumble for a slot. I cannot remember any other wkend in the past nine years where so many bands were so highly scored. All I can say it … good luck .. when the ballots are tabulated it’s going to be the highest scoring UMX season on record, I’m sure.
Props to The Holler out of Fort Collins – who totally rocked the house with one of the tightest sets on Saturday – they definitely brought the party and set the bar for every act that followed them. Other very impressive sets were turned in by The Foot., Rebel Tongue, the Blender Cats, Instant Empire, Gang Forward, and Jet Edison to name a handful.
Here’s what got played on the show this week.

The Best Day, Way, and Reason to Send a Press Release
It’s Tuesday morning. Since yesterday I have received over 40 “press releases” across three email addresses as well as private messages via Facebook. One email in particular, from someone I happen to like, prompted a rather goat-ish personal email from me explaining that local gigs are not news worthy events – but are more likely those “press releases” that will elicit a delete or “I’ll get to it later” (and never do) type scenario.
My friend wrote back, “Wow! So, I should just play gigs and expect people to show up with no support from the press. Just because I am daring to play music that truly love instead of pandering to the usual commercial formula is nothing special. I studied jazz, gigged with bands too numerous to mention, learned to write music, build an improvising ensemble… Harsh man… P.S. Sorry to bother you and the rest of the press with my gigs… I let you know if pass away or have another heart attack or something special…”
So what is news worthy? I cannot answer for my peers in media, but for me it’s not about when you’re playing next. There are gig calendars for that – twitter and facebook etc. However, perhaps you’re opening for “X-Superstar” at “X-MAJOR VENUE.” That would spark some interest … that might be considered news-worthy. Not so much you gigging out locally.
Releasing a new album is almost (note I said almost!) not even news worthy anymore except for the purposes of attempting to receive a review, and then only the smallest percentage receive those … since recording is no longer the exception but the necessary rule for being a musician, and 99% follow the rule.
So, how do I come across this opinion? Decades in the trenches as a journalist, radio personality, venue promoter, record promoter and musician …. and reader of the most esteemed of local music media on a daily basis. I’ve often wondered how to improve my skills as a promoter sending out information … and as well, I’ve studied incoming information to determine what works and doesn’t from my position as “media.” It’s not easy.
What I’d like to see more of is personal information — births, deaths, marriages, divorces, awards, break ups, new members etc … things that people really want to read or hear about or as my friend suggested “…something special…” When I prep for my weekly news and notes on my radio show or the monthly News Notes and Spins column, it’s that “something special” that I want to relate to my audience.
Because I thought (no doubt rightfully) that I had distanced my “friend” with my email response I looked for some other articles on press releases etc. Opinions are as varied as the persons stating them. I dug around a bit and found what I considered to be a reasonable explanation of the subject at blog.journalistics.com … … The Best Day to Send a Press Release.
Enjoy.
The Colorado Sound – V4 EP10 2012
Ok, so I like keep telling folks – if it ain’t from Colorado I don’t know jack — so how was I supposed to know that the new Big Head & the Monsters “Sexy and I Know It” is a cover of the LFMAO track? Huh? Well? If it ain’t from Colorado I don’t know it … (with extremely few exceptions). I had to go to youtube to check out the LFMAO version (also finding Todd’s solo version … see below). Can’t say as I care much for LFMAO’s version, but then I’m not a Venus beach type anyway — give me some “303″ – speaking of which, Broken Tongues is representin’ – check out their intro video below … … Todd’s version of the song is much better IMO LOL.
I had one very great nearly three hour hang over a couple pints of Irish ale with Katie Glassman this week … after doing sound for her trio last week I became enthralled with the uniqueness of her voice – vocally and musically. Turns out that before Sir Paul McCartney did his swing album, Katie had envisioned doing one of her own, complete with five songs that ultimately appeared on Paul’s disc … so, she does the Beatles classic Honey Pie and would love to get it to Sir Paul. Anyone got his number? If so, please pass it along to Katie.
Katie’s Snapshot gets my nod for featured album of the month on the Colorado Sound. John Macy at Silo along with friends like bassist Eric Thorin who arranged / co-arranged four of the tracks, and an all-star band that includes keyboardist Eric Moon and E-tones drummer Christian Teele as well as over a dozen other world class session players and award winners make it one seriously fun record … especially if you’re into Texas country-swing-jazz with a dollup of airy indie-pop cuteness drizzled throughout Katie’s vocal stylization.
The Lumineers is counted as a debut this week – although I’ve had this particular track for several weeks now, Dualtone just sent the album out – and it’s picking up mad adds at stations around the state, including KBCO (Boulder), KFMU (Steamboat), KSMT (Breckenridge), KSPN (Aspen), and KYSL (Breckenridge) – making it a sure shot for a #1 Out of the Box (OTB) DEBUT for the month.
And just because it’s too much fun, I included the newly released video from the Hickman-Dalton Gang in this week’s post … ’bout one of the best country videos I’ve seen come out of CO the past couple of years… it forces at least a big grin and some foot stompin. … lay that one in next to Gary Bragg’s hilarious Free Range video…
Here’s what got played on this week’s show.
Slim Cessna’s Auto Club “This Is How We Do It in the Country” from Blovdy Tenent Trvth Peace (2004)

Is Pandora Killing Local Radio? If not now… when?
I grew up with radio. It was how I heard the newest records. Yes, I’m “old.” Just ask my kids. But being a baby-boomer doesn’t mean I have given up my love for music discovery. It’s the reason I do The Colorado Sound – it’s that insane sense of discovering new music, and new artists from here in Colorado. I’m very happy that there are five terrestrial radio signals in the state that broadcast my show today … and as far as internet goes? It’s still too expensive for me to launch – royalties and all you know.
The past decade I’ve touted the internet as the new radio – one that opens up the playbook and has allowed us all to discover music that many in radio just “knew” would have people turning the dial away from new and onto nostalgia. That’s how radio got safe.
Research dictated that the older a person became the more likely they would stick with the music of their high school and college days – music that recalled what it felt like to be young .. music that gave us an escape from the pressures of responsible adulthood. And for the most part the research is true.
As I sit watching the audiences at the live shows I do sound for – I recognize that nostalgia pays off. Funk bands playing the hits of Parliament and/or the Funkadelics get people from 21-60+ on the dance-floor. Classic (pre 1980) country bands today appeal to those longing for a return to the past, as well as those searching for the purity / the origins of more modern sounding music.
But, is radio dead or dying as some would believe? All the current research shows that 86% of people still get connected to new music via broadcast radio. Local public radio stations like KRFC Fort Collins and Colorado Public Radio’s “Open Air 1340″ have made strong statements supporting locally and regionally produced music. Or, is the internet destroying local radio, as my friend Pete Simon expresses in this view?
WHY PANDORA IS KILLING RADIO
Just throwing out this question: Across the stretches of the Front Range, and through mountain hamlets — some with a community radio station nearby – isn’t there SOMETHING about “localism” that will save the day for radio in Colorado?
=========
Pandora has been hit with a lot bad news lately, but I can cheer them up.
The radio industry never misses an opportunity to denigrate a competitor that goes on to kick their ass.
Terrestrial radio did it with satellite radio.
They are doing it with the mobile Internet that the next generation loves and radio thinks is an add-on.
And radio is doing it again right now to Pandora.
Look, any company that attracts over a 100 million subscribers – the vast majority of whom absolutely love the service is a better business than radio which is no longer local and run by a bunch of Wall Street thieves.
Yes, I am a Pandora shareholder. I always like to tell you that so you can take what I say with a grain of salt. And I have lost half the value of my Pandora stock and I’m holding it just in case you don’t want to take what I have to say with a grain of salt.
Pandora is going to kill local radio.
Even in spite of the draconian music royalty fees they must pay the record labels to use music.
Even in spite of the fact that they don’t have a tower and transmitter in every city. Of course, radio consolidators do and they are falling all over themselves to do remote radio far away from the local market.
Radio’s Pandora problem is going to bite the industry in the butt.
Let me tell you the ways:
1. More and more former radio listeners are opting for Pandora and their many competitors like Spotify to give them a more customized experience. Pandora gets bigger every month and their listeners think it is cool. Radio gets smaller every month bolstered only by drive-by PPM ratings that aren’t real.
2. Even as I write this, Pandora is aggressively hiring great radio people away from the top broadcast groups. Three stolen from Clear Channel in New York and one big seller from another operator in Detroit within the past few weeks. The arrogance of consolidators to think their best sales people will continue to put up with poor treatment. Consolidators are making it easier to hire away their people as they do less local programming. Pandora is poaching your best assets! Ignore this at your own peril.
3. Pandora is coming up with a better ratings system. Radio has Arbitron’s PPM and Edison is doing some great and credible radio-type research for Pandora. While Clear Channel and a few other consolidators prop up their custom ratings company, Pandora is inventing a better way to show its growing reach. Radio has never been an industry to want competition in ratings so they are in Arbitron’s hands all the way down.
4. Pandora will not die from this disease called record industry greed because if Pandora goes under, the record industry loses its number one source of music royalty income stream. So the labels will have to relent over time and give Pandora more reasonable rates. Radio on the other hand is facing a new performance royalty that their own NAB CEO is pushing so while Pandora is likely to get royalty relief down the road, radio is about to get saddled with more royalty fees. Bet on it.
5. Pandora has picked up on the music discovery passion former radio listeners have even as radio stations continue to offer bland, corporate playlists. And radio has fired the personalities and music experts who curated local music for listeners. No wonder Pandora is so popular. Pandora is about music discovery and radio is about repetition.
There is an air of arrogance in the radio industry again perhaps fueled by the moneylenders who think they are such a big deal.
But as I always say, follow the consumer and you will never go wrong.
Consumers prefer Pandora-type customizable music discovery “radio” over the real deal because ironically enough radio is no longer the “real deal”.

News Notes & Spins – March 1, 2012
Sorry I got this month’s column off late. Officially? – hand surgery sucks. Until you get to use the hand that got fixed and you realize it feels much better than before you got it fixed. So, with that in mind, thank you for the many kind emails and text messages this past week. It was a lot of one finger typing this weekend.
In radio news – this is a very important time of year as local community/public radio stations go on-air to encourage your financial support. So far, from what I’ve been able to see and hear, those efforts are producing wonderful results. As I was listening to Colorado Public Radio (CPR) recently I heard they hit their membership goals in record time, hitting goal two days early with record numbers. In Crested Butte, KBUT reports they completed their “…2012 Winter Pledge Drive on February 17th, raising a record $42,000 in 12 days. Spirits are high and support for community radio is strong in the Gunnison Valley.” KRFC Fort Collins is celebrating their 9th B-day this month. They are hoping to set new records themselves in fund raising, in order to maintain their focus on music from here in Colorado. KGNU’s (Boulder) membership/fund drive runs through March 10.
All in all, local support is the key to maintaining a vibrant community/public radio station in our cities and towns … and from the looks of our charts every month, the key to keeping Colorado music on the air throughout the state. Community/public radio stations are by and large the most significant media outlets for our music scenes.
The University of Colorado student radio station KVCU aka Radio 1190 (Boulder) has been undergoing some changes since the departure of Mike Flanagan and some of the old Radio 1190 kids, who went on to form Open Air 1340. In October the station hired Mikey Goldenberg, formerly an air talent and producer at commercial hot adult contemporary outlet KALC/105.9 Alice (Denver), as their new GM. Since then the CU Student Government’s Legislative Council has identified several problems that required a reasonably large restructuring of the station’s budget and staff, and a redirect of the station’s marketing and branding efforts. There’s an excellent article on it at the Daily Camera, entitled CU-Boulder’s Radio 1190 to restructure, rebrand.\
I’ve got a new Colorado music show to introduce — the show itself is not new, just my awareness of it. It’s hosted by David Browder Sunday nights 10-11 pm on KWRP 100.3 fm in Pueblo. Thanks to David for spreading the music in the Pueblo area.
