Comment on The Colorado Sound by Joe Franzen

Chris,

Thanks for the air play on the Colorado Sound. As a new band in we’re pretty psyched to be played alongside such great Colorado artists. Thanks for supporting local music.

right, that’s the crux of the issue you bring up in your post. We all have busy lives and few have the time to root around a variety of sites, look for mp3s, scan for language, etc. etc. If some enterprising soul out there would pull together a site like I’m suggesting, I do think it would dramatically increase the amount of Colorado music that gets played on air…..

no such centralized place exists … the closest places I can direct you are to facebook, reverbnation, and bandcamp. But none really satisfy I think for what you’re looking for.

I get the legal/technical issues. Then how about a site where DJs can go to download MPs, read band descriptions, contact bands for interviews, etc. A “one stop shopping” site connecting CO bands w/radio.

Figured it was you. I do not know the new systems John Hayes is putting in place. KRFC stands quite comfortably at the top tier of those stations that air Colorado music from any and all eras. As to streaming, I think there may be legal issues to deal with as well as technological issues. Streaming is highly unreliable as a broadcast technology. Too many issues there, as stations may not have the bandwidth to accomplish that feat. Also, I think there are some mechanical licensing and/or soundexhange issues with second or third party streaming… something for Hayes or Brian to look into perhaps.

Hey Chris, it’s JB from KRFC. So you know our setup

I’m thinking streaming rather than downloading. Assuming most stations have a channel on the mixing board for their computer, then a DJ can just click a “play” icon next to the song and stream it live.

Question JB … would you be able to download a track while on the air? Does your station allow for that?

An addendum to my suggestion — maybe just have the top 40 must spun titles on this very website linked directly to an MP3 of the song. That’ll work too

I’d love to play more CO stuff — so make it easier for me. Here’s a suggestion: how about an online, genre-sorted page featuring MP3s from Colorado bands accessible to DJs while on the air? Give me your best one or two FCC-friendly tracks and short description of who you are, and I can pull it up and play it while I’m on the air. As it stands now, I have to dig through our physical CD collection where a band’s music may or may not be. Then I have to track through to find the best material and check lyrics to make sure nothing naughty is going on. Since I’m busy with a ton of other things while on the air, it’s easy to skip over that and default to playing what I know and and what I have on hand.
