She likes the weather

Picked up the new Counting Crows CD last night. it's not really new, it's a live concert cd.

listened to most of it so far, and i really like it. it has a couple of concert staples, but also a lot of stuff i haven't heard them play anywhere else.

it has the soulful sound of their VH1 Storytellers CD, but is a little harder.

it's not one of those that i'll listen to over and over as i tend to do when a new crows disk comes out (which they rarely do), but it certainly is worthy of regular rotation.

and now i really can't wait for the real new cd coming out sometime next year. Its working title right now is "Saturday nights and Sunday mornings."

One sidenote about the new concert cd. it was taped in Amsterdam a couple of years ago. in spots when Adam Duritz stops singing and points the mic to the crowd, it sounds weird. It's a bunch of Amsterdudes who can't really carry a tune.

I didn't weigh this morning because i didn't feel like it.

i figure if i'm only going to half-ass try to lose weight, it only stands to reason that i should also half-ass track the progress.
