i must warn you before venturing forward with this counting crows show from 2000. the warning being that adam duritz's banter is downright embarrassing and almost unlistenable. i dont think there's been a more awkward musician/crowd intercation since gg allin flung his feces into the crowd at one of his shows. even with that said, [...]~~

Maybe there’s something to be said for recharging the old batteries. Counting Crows - the MTV-approved, invariably literate neo-folk-rock band (and favorite of sensitive collegiates everywhere) – have made one of the most vibrant, resonant, accessible, articulate albums in the group’s career, six years after their previous release.Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is a bountiful assortment o

Dear Trusted MOG Buddies and Other Interested Parties,I enjoyed the new album by folk-rockers Counting Crows – their first in years – so thoroughly that I was compelled to post a review of it (with a live clip attached) yesterday. (You can taste the opening track “1492” by clicking the button above. Could be their most rawkin’ number ever.) Unfortunately, the MOG e-mail alerts were down

The Counting Crows album 'August and Everything After' will always have a special place in my heart. Right album, right situation, right time...that album found me at the PERFECT moment in my life and it has SO much to do with my love of music, probably more so than any other album that I can think of.So when I saw Panic! At The Disco covered Round Here, i was wounded. But just for a second. Th...

The Counting Crows closed out their hybrid show tour with Michael Franti and Augustana last night at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.Instead of the typical format of opening bands followed by headliner, Crows lead singer Adam Duritz described this tour as: "We're going to all be running on & off stage all night playing on each others songs and playing songs all together and bas...

This week, Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz took time out from working on the group’s next album to unveil his own label. He’s done this before. A few years back, he founded the E Pluribus Unum imprint which was absorbed by Geffen Records. Now, Duritz is launching Tyrannosaurus Records (complete with the cute nickname “T-Recs”) with a website - http://tyrannosaurusrecords.net/ - and

"And its one more night in hollywoodIf you think that I could be forgiven...i wish you would"Some days this band gets on my fucking nerves. Mainly it's just the fact that I am not a fan of Adam Duritz. Oh well, there's a lot of bands that I don't really care for the band but they have a few songs I like. The Crows are one of these bands. A former flame was really into Duritz and the Crows. She...

One last topic to throw out there...Do you guys remember the first album you absolutley BURNED OUT? I mean played it backwards and forwards...you could recite every lyric from every song, forwards AND backwards? My watershed album like that was "August and Everything After" by Counting Crows...and although I have since grown out of that band...that album will always have a special place in my h...

one of my most anticipated album so far this year. saturday nights & sunday mornings is set to release on march 25 (thanks adam, almost a happy birthday gift to me). adam duritz has this to say about the album:"[it's] about dissolution and disintegration. it's about when saturday night happens and you lose all sense of yourself. and it’s about when you wake up sunday morning and look back at th.

I recently perused the CD shelf of a local Half Price Books looking for a replacement copy of the brilliant national debut album from the Counting Crows, August and Everything After. I did not find it, but was lucky enough to find the Willie Nelson Box Set, Legend, for a true half-price cost. Never having been one to be easily deterred from a musical quest, I traversed the lot to enter the loca...

I wanted to love this movie. I really, really did...but alas, it just isn't a great film.Matthew Broderick plays a television writer and a recovering drug addict and alcoholic, who is now clinging to his one last vice - gambling. Maura Tierny plays his wife, who is obviously exhausted from spending years married to an addict. When the couple finds out that their 20yr old niece, played by Britta...

The other week, Kenton challenged me to come up with my fifty favorite songs of all time. Personally, I would love to have the time to attempt this, and I’m quite certain that my love for the epic narrative song would shine through. But, alas, I don’t have the time to sit down and actually do this. So, I’ll skip directly to the end and present you with my all time, number one with a bullet,
