Comm-Unity Radio! These granola-eatin' hippies in Boulder…read moreare doing some great stuff. They play some strange indie stuff, lots of old time country music. My favorite show is Honky Tonk Heroes on Saturday mornings. The best part of the station is that if you don't like the music, give it two hours max, and they'll have a new show on. In one afternoon, you may hear Reggae, Grateful Dead, Electronica, Punk Polka, grind core, and Emo Square dancing music. This is a non-profit radio station on the left side of the dial. They don't have any advertisements, just the occasional weather update or a public service announcement. They play lots of the weirdest stuff, going on strange rabbit-hole disc discussions. The annoying part of community radio is the occasional fund drive. They have all kinds of fun events that they hold in the Denver and Boulder areas, like concerts, parties, and even plant sales!

As I pointed out with my review of KBCO, I'm like oil and radio stations are like water, but KGNU…read morestands out from the pack. Since KGNU is an independent community radio station, that is fueled not by advertisments but by community donations, you don't get the same sort of feel that you get with most major radio stations. The fact that you can listen to them online (www.kgnu.org) in hi-def streams definitely helps this otherwise obscure station get the attention it deserves. And the music they play....! This isn't the same old pop top 20 you hear at every single mall and commercial. No no...you are finally listening to a station with djs who care about pushing the envelope a little bit and playing the stuff that you don't hear all the time. This of course is because most of the djs at KGNU are there because they love what they are doing, not because they are getting paid huge sums (or anything for that matter). I've been inside the studios myself several times, and I must admit...I was inpressed. I'm not saying I like everything they play, but they really do have interesting shows...and more than once I actually wrote the names of artists down I heard on KGNU. How often do you do that when you are listening to the radio? As a community radio station, I think you can even dj yourself...of course this might be at 4 am...but hey, its about time they had a drum and bass show eh? Or maybe you are more into Tuva throat-singing, I can't say. Keep the independent tunes coming KGNU.

I loved KBCO when I first moved out here. Back where I'm from there is nothing even close to this…read morestation. I couldn't believe they play the Dead on the radio!! Now that I've lived here for nearly 10 years, I realize they play the same songs over and over and over and over. I love Dave Matthews, Sting, and Coldplay, but I can only take so much. I swear a few months ago they played the same DMB at the exact same time every morning! There also seem to be a lot of commercials too. I don't like the select a set either. I have submitted some killer sets and they never play them, but what they do play can be pretty dull and out dated music. Oh well, each to his own I suppose. I still think it's great to have a station playing this type of music. I have discovered some great bands as a result of listening. I really do like the morning show with Robin and Brett. They really play well off of each other. I do get a kick out of The Sage. That's pretty much the only time I listen anymore, on the way to work, especially now that I have an iPhone and have the Sirius app. I like KBCO's website. You can really stay on top of shows in Denver and Boulder. You can also have the chance to get pre-sale tickets if you are an interactive member. My parents love KBCO, they stream it all the time from PA. Brett even interviewed my dad on air once. They were doing a promo for their stream and were interviewing people who listen outside of Denver/Boulder. It was a proud moment for the Sowers family haha.

I used to like KBCO but these days they just play the same songs over and over with a couple of new…read morereleases thrown in. How can you take bands with huge catalogs like the Eagles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd etc. and play the same 3 or 4 songs of theirs all the time? I'm tired of Sympathy for the Devil. My guess is it comes down to $$$.

A shining light in the darkness that is corporate radio…read more My life wouldn't be as complete without Radio 1190. Seriously. Music is one of my biggest passions, and Radio 1190 consistently gives me soul food for my ears. Where else can you hear Cut Copy, Hank Williams Sr., Atmosphere and Sharon Jones, all in one set? They truly cover the entire spectrum of music, and their only limitation is that they won't play music that you can hear on mainstream radio. Their specialty shows kick major ass. I especially like Route 78 West (honkey tonk and trucker music), Beats from the East (contemporary Indian and Bollywood music), and the Local Shakedown (local music, duh!). They sponsor local music events, showcase up and coming bands, and give a ton to the Denver/Boulder music community. Sure, the DJs can be pretty sloppy and amateurish, but that's part of their charm as they're not pros, just music lovers. And yes, they're an AM station that broadcasts in mono (listen online for the full stereo experience), and yes, they have to power down when the sun goes down, but that just makes you appreciate it more. You never know what you're going to hear. You might love the current song and hate the next, but you'll never get bored, that's for sure. Viva the AM revolution! Cheers!

Best music station in Denver/Boulder. Period…read more I cringe at the horrible radio selections available in the metro area. That's why Radio 1190, and all the publicly funded radio stations, are my bastion. These are the only places you will hear new, unique and original music. If you wanna listen to Lady Gaga all day, this probably isn't the place for you. I especially love the wide variety of shows. From hip-hop, dance, reggae, LOTS of indie, funk, folk/bluegrass, metal/goth/industiral, jazz, creole, many local artists . . . they're bound to have something you'll like. Save yourself from Clear Channel and move towards the light. There is a brighter side to Denver/Boulder radio.

With a strong German name like Vanderhoof, how could you not want to see what this designer had to…read moreoffer? Christ Vanderhoof's work and ideas are a lot more innovative and creative then most designers then I have ever worked with. The difference with Chris is that he is an amazing artist in general, hand drawing logos, and other art work for all sort of design needs. He created his own detailed and moving logo and made me an amazing logo for my VodCast that no standard or purchased font could ever stand up to. Chris looks to creative resources for ideas... He actually doesn't like it when you show him stuff you do or don't like, he rather would hear descriptions of words that describe the feeling of what you are trying to create or help other people create Chris is patient, but will put you in your place if he has to (or maybe that was just me and I really needed it). He reminds you not to get influenced by other people's opinions too much, and to remember follow your gut. He is professional and approachable, affordable, and wont stop working with you or for you until you are satisfied. Chris has tons of experience with branding and has obvious multi-cultural influences in his experience to help you come up with amazing, inventive and sexy graphics for all sorts of businesses and needs. * Star one is for a great last name that is hard to remember how to spell ** Watch him go star two is for incredible drawing skills *** How did you do that star three is for taking my idea and bringing it alive with design **** Don't Stop star four is for not giving up even when the idea and client gets picky and overwhelming ***** Wow, that is impressive star five is for a great website, with awesome examples of work
