Ok, so I like keep telling folks – if it ain’t from Colorado I don’t know jack — so how was I supposed to know that the new Big Head & the Monsters “Sexy and I Know It” is a cover of the LFMAO track? Huh? Well? If it ain’t from Colorado I don’t know it … (with extremely few exceptions). I had to go to youtube to check out the LFMAO version (also finding Todd’s solo version … see below). Can’t say as I care much for LFMAO’s version, but then I’m not a Venus beach type anyway — give me some “303” – speaking of which, Broken Tongues is representin’ – check out their intro video below … … Todd’s version of the song is much better IMO LOL.
I had one very great nearly three hour hang over a couple pints of Irish ale with Katie Glassman this week … after doing sound for her trio last week I became enthralled with the uniqueness of her voice – vocally and musically. Turns out that before Sir Paul McCartney did his swing album, Katie had envisioned doing one of her own, complete with five songs that ultimately appeared on Paul’s disc … so, she does the Beatles classic Honey Pie and would love to get it to Sir Paul. Anyone got his number? If so, please pass it along to Katie.
Katie’s Snapshot gets my nod for featured album of the month on the Colorado Sound. John Macy at Silo along with friends like bassist Eric Thorin who arranged / co-arranged four of the tracks, and an all-star band that includes keyboardist Eric Moon and E-tones drummer Christian Teele as well as over a dozen other world class session players and award winners make it one seriously fun record … especially if you’re into Texas country-swing-jazz with a dollup of airy indie-pop cuteness drizzled throughout Katie’s vocal stylization.
The Lumineers is counted as a debut this week – although I’ve had this particular track for several weeks now, Dualtone just sent the album out – and it’s picking up mad adds at stations around the state, including KBCO (Boulder), KFMU (Steamboat), KSMT (Breckenridge), KSPN (Aspen), and KYSL (Breckenridge) – making it a sure shot for a #1 Out of the Box (OTB) DEBUT for the month.
And just because it’s too much fun, I included the newly released video from the Hickman-Dalton Gang in this week’s post … ’bout one of the best country videos I’ve seen come out of CO the past couple of years… it forces at least a big grin and some foot stompin. … lay that one in next to Gary Bragg’s hilarious Free Range video…

Okay, it’s in the 80s … the sun is shining … the snow is melting … I’m feelin’ very Colorado! So I found a video or two to share today… from some Colorado legends 🙂
First Up — Chuck Pyle …
Oh yeah!! Wonder how many of you remember this band?!
Okay, so Romano’s NOT a legend (YET)_ but there’s a series of videos up from shoots at Oskar Blues in Longmont — and Oskar Blues has become a legendary place for music and great ales … loving the new one they created in Longmont .. .Honky Tonk Bedonk… a hoppy lager.
