First Installment of Colorado Talent: Katie Herzig with ties to Fort Collins.

This song has competing rhythms in it that make really interesting to hear.  Her voice is in contrast to the music, and done successfully. 

Genre: Folk Rock / Alternative Rock.

This song is different in a good way.  I really like it. It has a death cab for cutie feel to it.

This duo is not well known on this side of the pond but that does not mean that this song is any less entertaining.

Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol

This is years old, and the film used to make the music video is from the 60’s I think, but together they go really well.  The video shows Paris at sunrise.  I really like it, it is fun to see the louvre and the paris opera house (made famous by the phantom of the opera) even if both are shown for only a moment.  The original film which is a little longer than shown in this clip (they cut off the beginning) is called c’etait un rendezvous.

Genre: Alternative Rock

Single Ladies by Beyonce

I know everyone has seen this already, but it is certainty worth posting.  Have not heard the song in a while.  I think it’s interesting to remember that this video inspired crazy Kanye antics.  Poor Taylor Swift.

Genre: Dance, Hip Hop.

Spaceman by The Killers

This video was shared with me by a friend and i like it all this time later.  It is very abnormal and artistic.  I like the different levels that the video asends through, and the different feel to each one.  I especially like the kite winged creatures featured.

Genre: Alternative Rock

Dashboard by Modest Mouse

The song may sound familiar but the video probably is not.  I like the story it tells, how it is worked into the lyrics, and the ending is great.  here’s another throw back.

Genre: Alternative Rock

The song is an unknown hit in my eyes.  well composed.

The music video on the other hand is funny, has a small love story, and if it were real, would be the prank of all pranks managed from the other side of the great beyond by someone who has passed to it.  Enjoy.

Genre: Indie / Alternative Rock

We Are Young by Fun.

The song is known by millions, but have you seen the video?

It is the ultimate bar fight, complete with people falling from the ceiling and a man running around in Christmas lights. If you like the song then start liking the video!

Genre: Indie / Alternative Rock

Grenade, Bruno Mars

(This song is full of great one liners, more to come.)
