Music to hear: March 2008 Archives

I listened to the new "Counting Crows" album almost all day Friday and Saturday. It's a good solid album. I was looking for more from them. This album didn't really break any new ground. I was hoping for a bigger reinvigoration of their sound. I didn't get it, but there are still some great songs on the album. I think I like them because of the upbeat melancholia they manage to emit; it's a good approximation for my normal mood.

"I left a lot of ghosts in San Francisco
and now you wanna say you see through me
but what you wanna see ain't your memories of me"
-- Los Angeles, Counting Crows

Wow, there are so many worlds I know so little about. The science fiction folk singing world was hitherto fore unknown to me.

I have been waiting for a "new Counting Crows" album for a long time. Just a few more days to wait.

Masquerading as an indie-hipster I saw the band "Last Days of April" last night.
