We've asked some notable members of the Colorado arts scene, whom we dub "VIPs," to share their favorite music of 2014.

Next up is Adam Baumester. He's the founder of Meep Records, a Denver-based company that presses handmade plastic lathe-cut records. Its list of clients includes Lucero, South of France and Munly & the Lupercalians. He has also played in Denver bands like Bad Weather California.
