What's Happening
February's CDOTM
Radio1190's CD of the Month for February is Beach House's third release, Teen Dream out on Sub Pop records.
After making music together for over six years, Teen Dream marks a major divergence in the creative process for the dream pop duo. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally found themselves uprooting their lives in Baltimore, Maryland in order to make a converted church in upstate New York the birth place for the new record. They hunkered down with producer Chris Coady for a month of undisrupted writing, recording and revising, leaving us with an album of powerful, intimate vocals, lush instrumentation and pulsing high and low notes.
This is the band's first release on Sub Pop Records and stands out as their most contemplative and substantial record to date.

Listeners Love the New App!
We here at Radio 1190 saw a fine spike in our download numbers over the holidays. It looks like lots of folks received iPhones and iPods for holiday gifts. And, as it should be, one of the first apps they downloaded was Radio 1190.
What you get may sound simple, but for longtime fans of Radio 1190 who have put up with the great music coming via a less than perfect AM signal and have learned to live with little or no signal in the Denver area after sundown, this is a dream come true. Radio 1190 as everyone has always wanted it, in FM stereo 24/7.
One of our favorite comments says "I can't believe that this application exists. This is wonderful!" We are excited also. We've been streaming on the internet for a while now. With this new application, the great sound of the best independent music around goes portable. Thanks to new technology, new people are finding out about Radio 1190 every day. And, the more people who listen to us, the better chance we have of converting them into becoming eventual watt owners.
So, to the people who have downloaded the new application, thank you! If you have the machine but haven't done the download, it is as easy as clicking HERE. Tell your friends, post it on your walls, write it on fogged over windows, proclaim the good news! The app is still free, so take advantage and download it now. And have a great 2010!
Scotland Month
The Me Generation, Radio 1190's New Wave and Post-Punk show presents

as Big Country, The Simple Minds, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Altered
Images, The Cocteau Twins, and The Proclaimers, just to name a few. All
February long, DJ Ben of The Me Generation brings you a ridiculous amount
of amazing Scottish music. Tune into Radio 1190 on February 5th, 12th,
19th, and 26th at 7 pm.
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.
