{{Featured song artwork|Rentals-colorado-artwork.png|Colorado}} "'''Colorado'''" is a single by [[the Rentals]] and the seventh track from ''Chapter One'' of the multimedia project ''[[Songs About Time]]''. It was originally released on [[September 27]], [[2008]].
{{Featured song artwork|Karlophonedesire.jpg|Desire}} '''"Desire"''' is a single and the eleventh track from [[Karlophone]]'s [[2002]] album, ''[[Press Any Key to Begin]]''.


The song was written during {{PN|Matt Sharp}} acoustic solo career, and he performed it many times while on tour. As Sharp explained in a [[A few words about Colorado from Matt & The Rentals|2008 letter to fans]], the song received a full-band arrangement when he was approached about contributing a song for a compilation. The song became "a test run" for the forthcoming ''Songs About Time'', featuring the nontraditional recording methods and ambitious artistic premises that would come to define the project. The song features drum beats programmed into a keyboard as well as percussion sourced from drum sticks drumming on the floor of the studio they recorded in. The [http://vimeo.com/2735285 second video] released in the ''SAT'' project shows the band recording the song.
"Desire" was originally released as the final track on Karlophone's (the solo project of [[Weezer]] historian [[Karl Koch]]) debut album ''Press Any Key to Begin'' in [[2002]], later receiving a physical release on 7" vinyl through Koch's own label, [[Amorphous Records]] in [[2004]]. The record was made available through mail order from Amorphous Records' site as well as through [https://karlophone.bandcamp.com/album/desire-7 Karlophone's Bandcamp page] where it is still available to purchase as of now.


This was the first release by the band to include vocalist [[Jamie Blake]].
The record includes two B-sides, being "If You Listen" and "Desire (Kid Chocolat Remix)".
