• Mile Hi-Fidelity playlist - 06.17.09

  Turned in an economy version of the show last night. No guests, no co-host. Not much to report really. Just one guy, one mike and two dozen handpicked tunes. Where was my faithful sidekick, you ask? Why Mr. Thomas had a show last night at the Larimer Lounge, as he dutifully reminded me via text yesterday just a few hours before the show. I, of course, responded, dutifully reminding him that I couldn't make it because, well, I'd be on the radio hosting our show and stuff. Oh, that. Heh-heh. Anyho

• Score! Danielle Ate the Sandwich writes theme for Everyday, Boulder Acoustic Society appears in new Mini Cooper commercial and more

  So, it looks like our favorite singer-songwriter, Danielle Ate the Sandwich, has become everybody else's favorite, after all. Ms. Sandwich (or Ms. Anderson, if you prefer formality), appearing this Friday, June 26, on the Meadowlark patio, has garnered invitations to perform at the upcoming UMS and Monolith festivals, and was asked to write the theme for Everyday, a new afternoon talk show on Fox 31 hosted by Libby Weaver and Natalie Tysdal. And she's not the only local artist whose song are bei

• Otis Taylor's latest record earns praise in Spin

  ​It's not unusual to read a review of Otis Taylor and see the words bluesman. In fact, it's as about as commonplace as reading a piece on the Broncos during the '90s and seeing the name John Elway -- the two are virtually synonymous. That said, it was somewhat refreshing to come across a review of Taylor's latest disc, Pentatonic Wars and Love Songs, in the most recent issue of Spin (the one with Jeff Tweedy on the cover) and read these lines: "Sometimes pigeonholed as a bluesman, Otis Taylor
