Coming soon to a Delicious + Nutritious shopping mall near you!



This blog, covering all the delicious-and-nutritious aspects of made-in-Colorado music, is going to offer everything, not just hyper-fun reviews of CDs, new and old, that are short and snappy but also reviews of shows as well as hyper-delicious newsy snippets about Colorado bands: all genres from ska to Celtic harp and punk and old-school rap and new-school rap and garage and tape and every sub-genre of indie -- blah blah blah. On and on.

(Want to write a review of a CD by a Colorado band? Don't wait around. Do it and email it to us. Viola! We'll post it. Here and on Twitter if it is short enough for Twitter. You won't get paid, but we'll like you enough to let your new puppy live!)

We'll also have recommendations re whom you simply must read or follow or whatever as far as media folks who cover Colorado's FAB music scene. (Tell us about stuff, please.) Not just links but very CURRENT stuff. Critics. Festivals. Clubs. Just stuff you have got to read before you can go to work or the grocery store or move on with your life in any way ...

And polls and contests and lotta kewl stuff!

Check back soon, please. We're out all the time checking out Colorado bands and solo artists at every stage of their career: from folks who just got back from playing Tokyo to the guy playing his guitar for tips at the local cafe.

If you are an artist, do tell us what you are doing. Remember that you can never do enough in terms of marketing.

Side note: Please don't make it difficult to purchase your CD. Get your CD into retail shops -- Wax Trax, Independent Records, Twist & Shout, Jerry's Records -- and online at CDBaby and amazon just to begin with.

Do not offer your CD only on your myspace page. SELL THE CD. OK? Same language here?

Woo! Check back soon!

Meanwhile: Groove on, brother, groove on ...
