For the second week in the row, the Fray’s new self-titled album grabbed the number one spot on Twist & Shout’s top seller list. Elsewhere, it’s not too surprising that Robert Plant & Alison Krauss’s Raising Sand,which just won a Grammy for Album of the Year, claimed the second spot,…
At the excellent suggestion of an esteemed reader named Mike — in a why didn’t we think of this before moment — starting today and every week from now on, we’ll be posting the playlists of the other local-centric speciality shows including, Radio 1190’s long running Local Shakedown, KTCL’s Local’s…
We had too much fun on the show last night. Gave away a bunch of cool stuff — tickets to the Bands You Need to Know 2 show tonight at the Marquis and CDs from Lion Sized and A Shoreline Dream — and had a couple of great guests on…
Despite getting a later start because of the hockey game, which, for whatever reason, threw our rhythm of a bit, we had a decent show last night. Great guests: The guys from U.S. Pipe stopped by and gave us some insight into the making of their new record, from recording…
Just a quick heads up in case you happen to tune into Indie 101.5 tonight around 8 p.m. and hear the Avalanche game (or post-game): Don’t be alarmed. We haven’t gone anywhere; we’re just starting the show an hour later tonight because of the hockey game. People sure do love…
Okay, clearly we’re being sarcastic with that headline, for it comes as very little surprise that the Fray captured the top spot at Twist & Shout this week. We’re not privy to the actual SoundScan numbers yet, but suffice it to say, we’re eager to see if interest the act…
Last night’s show went rather well considering that Andy and I both arrived at the station and made it up to the studio literally three minutes before showtime. (Mental note: Leave earlier next week, doofus!) That was all behind the scenes, though. Listening to the playback today, we sound like…
For the second week in a row, Ludacris grabbed the number-one spot on Independent’s top seller’s list (week of Jan. 26 to Feb. 1), beating out Kanye West and Bruce Springsteen and Akon. The full breakdown is listed after the jump…
Bruce Springsteen’s latest album, Working on a Dream, nabbed the number-one spot on Twist & Shout’s top-seller list for the week ending Feb. 1, while Bon Iver’s For Emma Forever Ago album and the Blood Bank EP each landed in the top 10 as well. The full breakdown is listed after the…
Another two hours of playing the best hand-picked local music is in the books. Andy and I got all sorts of chatty last night — I mean, more than usual; seriously we were like a gaggle of grandmas chopping it up in a sewing circle — which meant that we…
Ludacris’s latest release, Theater of the Mind, which was third on Independent’s Jan. 12-18 top seller list, moves up to first for the week of Jan. 19-25. (hed) p.e. made a strong showing last week as well. The full breakdown is listed after the jump…
Animal Collective’s latest album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, which was released last Tuesday on Domino, tops last week’s seller list at Twist & Shout. The band’s June 2 Boulder Theater concert was announced last week as well. Paper Bird, which has been on store’s top sellers list for the last few…
Update: Wednesday night’s show has been posted after the jump.Well, we made it through another show. What are we at, like, seven now? Kind of lost count. Somebody’s keeping track, right? Anyhow, it was a good one, but like I said at the beginning of the show, you’d hardly expect…
(hed) p.e.’s concets in Denver and Colorado Springs last week must’ve fueled sales of the band’s latest album, New World Orphans, which was released January 13, on Suburban Noize Records. Kanye West and Ludacris also made strong showings, as did the Notorious soundtrack, which features cuts by Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Faith…
The Derek Trucks Band’s Already Free, released January 13, on RCA Victor, tops last week’s top seller list at Twist & Shout, while Paper Bird’s Anything Nameless and Joymaking comes in at number three again. The full breakdown is listed after the jump…
Putting this radio show together sure has been eye opening for me to say the least. In the past, I never gave much thought to songs being profane. I’m no prude, by any means. In fact, I’ve been known to curse with such frequency that you’d think I was getting…
Neil Young’s live recording from 1968, when he was just 22, tops Twist & Shout’s bestsellers list, with a strong showing from local acts Everything Absent or Distorted (a love story) and Paper Bird. Also good to see Tom Waits in the Top 10 with an album he released just…
It was world premier week on Mile Hi-Fidelity. Last night, we had the pleasure of debuting songs from A Shoreline Dream, Jon Snodgrass, Littles Paia, Park Pourbaix and the Widowers’ Mike Marchant, who stopped by the studio long enough to give us insight on his new batch of tunes, which…
After taking a week off to celebrate buying/receiving stuff for/from our loved ones, Andy Thomas and I returned to the airwaves last night (a day early in honor of drinking our faces off during Night of the Rookie Livers this evening) and played a bunch of great stuff — as…
Man, what an unbelievably fun show we had last night on 101.5 FM. Eryc Eyl, Tom Murphy and A.H. Goldstein joined me in the studio for the first of a two part Moovers & Shakers special edition of the show. Over the course of two hours, as we discussed and…
Well, Andy Thomas and I — with the help of Jon Solomon, who sat in with us for the second half of the show — made it through the second edition of Mile Hi-Fidelity, our new local show on 101.5 FM. Aside from some novice board-op flubs on my part…
The Verve’s Forth outsold the rest. If you’re looking to load up on new music but aren’t sure where to allocate your hard-earned coin, try polling your peers with Twist & Shout’s most-recent top-sellers’ list, for the week ending 8/31/08. 1. Verve — Forth 2. Slipknot — All Hope Is…
