the counting crows are one of my top three favorite bands ever. i am a pretty major fan of indie music. i should love a compilation of indie bands covering my favorite band, right? that's what i thought, too.

i haven't listened to this album in a really long time, so i thought today would be as good a day as any. when i woke up this morning it was thundering and lightening, and the rain was beating down harder than I've seen in a while...perfect counting crows weather.

i had it on more or less as background noise while i was driving around today, and i don't know if it was the weather or the songs or what, but I've been in a terrible mood all day. i have tried hard to keep from taking it out on everyone around me, but there have been a few today that have pushed me just far enough to make me lose my cool. mostly, though, I've just been sitting around being miserable.

we all went out to the bar tonight to celebrate an important milestone in my friend's life. on the way there i started skipping through the songs at the end and then just turning the CD off altogether. i could no longer take these renditions of these songs that i love so much. hell, even the renditions of the songs i hate were terrible. i can appreciate a good song even if i don't care for it, and nothing on this album struck me as good.

at least now i know why it was tucked away and hasn't been touched in a while. this CD will surely find its way back to the abyss.
