‘Dat die nog altijd bestaan’, kreeg ik als reactie op twitter toen ik meldde dat ik naar het concert van Counting Crows ging, afgelopen dinsdag in de Heineken Music Hall. Ja, ze bestaan nog. ‘Heeft die zanger nog steeds die dreadlocks’, vroeg mijn collega Govrien de volgende dag. Ja, die heeft hij nog steeds. En Adam Duritz, die zanger dus, zingt nog steeds geweldig. Ingeleefd, theatraal en continu variërend op de zanglijnen. En ja, hij draagt de helft van de teksten af en toe nog steeds meer voor dan dat hij ze zingt. En hij heeft de band, na [...]
SKIP to 09:50 to start the concert. Watch the Counting Crow's final performance streamed as part of our YouTube music series, Live at Sydney Opera House .

The winter had overstayed its welcome in Eastern Iowa this year and with the frost finally succeeding and the bulbs pushing their greens up in anticipation of flowering, we can finally (hopefully) start looking forward to Spring and Summer and to the recent announcement by Codfish Hollow of the first show in the barn this year! Last year we saw two really amazing events in the Codfish Hollow Barn stage even without an official Daytrotter Barnstormer show. July 4th brought a mind-melting and body-dehydrating appearance by Counting Crows and their touring Outlaw Roadshow lineup for what [...]

Chicago rock dudes WILCO performed at the Sydney Opera House last night and the show is now streaming for a global audience. The Opera House is giving their Youtube viewers a little glimpse as to what goes on in our landmark by creating their Live At The House music series which has so far featured SARAH BLASKO , PAUL KELLY , and will feature COUNTING CROWS on April 10. This was the band's Opera House debut and viewers were treated to an eclectic mix of new [...]
There must be something in the air this week, because on the same morning that Glee 's flaccid attempt at Radiohead's "Creep" did the rounds on various music blogs, World of Wonder reposted Barbra Streisand's bewildering cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars." This double dose of ghastliness got us thinking about the singular hubris of so many covers that purport to "improve" a song by removing exactly what made it special in the first place. The history of music is littered with these boring renditions of great songs, [...]

Today's addition to my list of Favorite New Years Songs, A Long December, is from the The Counting Crows. Let's listen.... Our 2012 end of the year music review continues with the Best New Artist award which goes to Fort Atlantic. I just discovered Fort Atlantic about two weeks ago but they released their self titled first album back in May. The album is absolutely amazing, in my humble opinion, so I am surprised that I have not heard about them before now. At this point, I am on a personal crusade to make [...]

Ben Small (Throwing Stuff) - © 2012 Oliver Wilson Despite only two of the band ever hearing the original version, enigmatic UK hardcore band, Throwing Stuff have recorded a...reimagining of, classic folk song, 'Big Yellow Taxi'. To say the band have made it their own would be a huge understatement. Lead singer, Ben Small barks Joni Mitchell's heartfelt lyrics about the urbanisation of "paradise" over a thrashing of guitars and pounding of drums that couldn't be further from the original (or even the godawful Counting Crows cover). Add to this the babbling of, guest vocalist, Doug [...]
