Premium Update

Note to everyone who pledged during the Fall drive. Your swag is on the way! All the t-shirts and hoodies were received this week and are being printed now at Indy Ink in Denver. When they are completed we will have a mass mailing right around Thanksgiving, either just before or just after. All our thank you gifts are custom made so hang on just a little longer, you are about to receive one of our coolest shirts ever!

We've gotten some emails from folks who won passes to shows during the drive, wondering why their tickets haven't arrived in the mail. Here is one department where we are happy to save trees. If your premium included show tickets, then your name will be on a guest list. You just need to tell them at the door. However, if you would like to double check and confirm, you can do that by emailing Dave, our Internal Promotions Director. You can reach him at dkelly@radio1190.org.

Please understand that there are a lot of details that go along with this process, and although our batting average is quite high, it's inevitable that there could be an error along the way. If this happens to you, let us know and we will make it up to you. We have a lot of talent at Radio 1190, but we don't always have ESP. So let us know so that we can continue to live happily ever after.

Once again, thanks to all the new and renewing watt owners, Radio 1190 would have to maintain radio silence without you!

November's CDOTM

Radio1190’s CD of the Month for November is Brilliant Colors’ Debut recording, Introducing out on Slumberland Records.

The band got its start in 2007 when leading lady Jess Scott combined with John Garmon and Michelle Hill previously of the legendary dub/punk group The Slits and began playing live shows throughout California. These shows stirred up phenomenal buzz in the underground scene and paved the way for two sold-out EPs released on Make a Mess Records and the Brooklyn based label Captured Tracks.

Westword names Radio 1190 Best Radio Station

For 11 years now, since we first took to the air in 1998, Radio 1190 has been recognized in Westword's Best of Denver issue. Here's this year's blurb:

By its very nature, Radio 1190, the University of Colorado at Boulder's station, has a very fluid staff, with DJs coming and going at various times of the year. But despite these frequent changes, 1190 has some important constants. The vast majority of hosts are more interested in exploring the variety of independent sounds being created today, as opposed to focusing on the most predictable or heavily hyped stuff — and instead of phonying up their presentations, their straightforward talks comes from the heart. That's giving it the old college try.
