Charity CDs Abound 171 One of the hal marks of Triple A radio are frequent in- studio appearances by artists. Over the years many stations have issued CD collections of some of the best of these performances, with the proceeds going to support local charities or serve some other worthwhile purpose. This year is no excep- tion: Many stations have new collections ready for release or in the works for early 2005. 2004 Snapshot Out Or Coming Soon KBCO/Denver, Studio C, Volume 16 WBOS/Boston, Live From the Archives, Vol. 2 A slightly skewed look at the past year WFUV/New York, City Folk Live 7 KFOG/San Francisco, Live From the Archives, Vol. 11 KGSR/Austin Broadcast, VoL 12 KINK/Portland, OR, KINK Live 7 ver the next couple of weeks we'll be presenting the year -end o WMMM/Madison, Live From Studio M, Vol. 4 music results, as well as recapping all the news that happened on both KMTT/Seattle, Live From the Music Lounge, Vol. 10 the radio and record sides. As an addendum to that, this week I KPRI /San Diego, Live Tracks, Vol. 2 KSUT/Durango, CO, Roots & Rhythms, Vol. 2 thought I'd cover a variety of other subjects that fit in with the retro- KTAO/Taos, NM, Revolution Collection: Taos spective angle.

KPIG/Monterey is in the midst of putting together a second Greatest Hits volume. Music DVDs have been around for a few years now, but this holiday season KRSH (Santa Rosa, CA is planning its first disc for next summer. we are seeing an explosion of special live -performance DVDs, CD and DVD KWMT/Tucson is planning its first disc for next spring. packages, DVD collections of videos, and more.

New Releases Aimee Mann Elton John Krishna Das Rufus Wainwright All -Star Bluegrass Eric Clapton Los Lonely Boys The Samples Ani DiFranco Evanescence Morcheeba Simon & Garfunkel Consider This! Beth Hart Everlast Morrissey Steve Earl At the end of each year everyone compiles a list of their favorite albums. I

Cat Power The Flatlanders Neil Young Stray Cats thought I'd try something a bit different and list the albums I think the format David Bowie Jamie Cullum Norah Jones Susan Tedeschi missed the boat on. Certain of these records did well on some stations, but David Byrne Jet Peter Gabriel 311 I think they should have been embraced by more programmers. Others did Diana Krall Joss Stone Phish The White Stripes well generally, but I feel that we allowed ownership of the artists to be stolen Dolly Parton K's Choice Radiohead & Friends by other formats. Edwin McCain Kate Rusby Robert Earl Keen The Damnwells, Bastards of the Beat You guys flat -out missed this one, but Lisa Reissues And Posthumous Issues Sonkin is going after you again. Yeah! Boz Scaggs The Grateful Dead Judy Collins Ray Charles Joss Stone, Mind, Body & Sout If an adult audience that grew up on artists like Aretha Franklin, what Bruce Springsteen Indigo Girls Miles Davis Rolling Stones Marvin Gaye, The Temptations and Betty Wright can't appreciate Joss Stone is all who can? The Doors Jefferson Airplane Poi Dog Pondering Tangerine Dream about, Sarah McLachlan, Afterglow: Triple A is the format that broke this world-class artist, but Elliott Smith Jimi Hendrix Procal Harum The Who over time we have let Hot AC claim ownership. George Harrison Johnny Cash The Ramones Yes J.J. Cale, To Tulsa and Back: J.J. Cale has been a major musical influence for three decades and deserves a better home than Triple A affords him these days. Paco, This Is Where We Live: Granted, this was on a smaller label, but with the Ivy heritage and the cool grooves on this collection, it deserved more attention than it got. Jem, Finally Woken: It's high time that Triple A radio got more involved with trip -hop and chill music, and Jem is the perfect artist to do it with. Charlie Mars, Charlie Mars: This great artist has been kickin' around for a few years now, and he has finally delivered the right album to take his career to the next level. Charlotte Martin, On Your Shore: The label is regrouping for a new push on this project, thank goodness. If you saw her perform at this year's Triple A Summit, you know we are talking about a real artist here. Citizen Cope, The Clarence Greenwood Recordings Everything about this artist screams originality, and his lyrics are intelligent and thoughtful. A perfect combination for Triple A audiences. Patty Griffin, Impossible Dream: Patty Griffin is an amazing singer and songwriter who is revered among her peers. The more adventurous stations on the Indicator panel have recognized this - it's time for the rest of you come to the party. Seal, Seal IV: An artist of this caliber deserves a lot more respect from us than he gets.

Grant -Lee Philips, Virginia Creeper: I suspect that if more programmers had truly given this wonderful album some listening time, it would have been one of the biggest albums of the year. The guy is a great songwriter and has one of the most beautiful voices on the planet. Michael Franti, Songs From the Front Porch: Whether he's with Spearhead or on his own, Michael Franti is an intelligent and caring artist. He deserves to be on more Triple A radio stations. Ozomatli, Street Signs If you have any kind of Spanish -language demographic in your market, you should be all over this great album.

Camper Van Beethoven, New Roman Times: The only reason I can think of that this project hasn't done better is that you really haven't given it a good listen. SHE HAS A NEW LAST NAME! Congratulations to our friend and former KBXR/Columbia,

MO PD Lana Trezise, who married Tom Azar on Sept. 1. The couple is now settled in St. Louis. Continued on Page 65

REGIONAL MEXICAN ¡Qué Pasa Radio!

MONTU Duele El Amor (A.R.C. Discos) We're back after a nice Thanksgiving holiday and a tasty turkey dinner. Now that our bellies are full, let's take a look at what's been going on at radio. In Regional Mexican, "Está Llorando Mi Corazón" by Beto Y Sus TROPICAL Canarios remains at No. 1, while Kumbia Kings' 'Fuego" holds on to No. 2. Grupo Bryndis moved up to No. 19 from No. 29 with "La Ultima Canción," while Banda El Recodo's "Ya Soy Feliz" debuts at No. 25 and Conjunto Primavera's "Pa'Que Son las Pasiones" at No. CARLOS VIVES Voy A Olvidarme De Mi (EM/Latin) 26. There are no significant moves in Contemporary, as Juanes holds

on to No. 1 with "Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor" and Alejandro Fernández ROCK /ALTERNATIVE sits at No. 2 with "Me Dediqué a Perderte." The new year is around the corner, and it's time to think about your New Year's resolutions. Reporting your adds on a weekly basis No Going for Adds for this Week is a perfect resolution for you to keep in 2005, don't you think? The deadline to report your adds is Tuesday at noon (PT).
