Counting Crows August and Everything After Rock Music CD Review
The extremely talented group Counting Crows have released their most recent CD on the Geffen Records recording label, entitled August And Everything After.
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with August And Everything After. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it two thumbs up. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Rock fan.
While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Perfect Blue Buildings, track 6 - Time And Time Again, and track 11 - A Murder Of One.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Round Here. Wow!

Which Key of Harmonica Should I Get?
first off let me state that i have never played an instrument. The difference between Key A and Key G means nothing to me. That being said i am about to buy a very cheap harmonica because i want to learn to play. Im interested in the whole blues style like eric clapton, bb king etc. that genre. I also love the harmonicas in any Bruce Springsteen song and the harmonica in Piano Man by Billie Joel. So what key should i buy? Thanks
I think you should get a C harmonica since many of the teaching material relies on a C harmonica. They are also more easy to play than some of the higher or lower key harmonicas.
Keep in mind that you pay for what you get and it might be a lot harder to learn on a cheap harmonica. I suggest spending at least 15-20 dollars on a Hohner harmonica. A Hohner special 20 is great for beginners what with the plastic reeds n' easyness of bending.
Personally I like my Bb harmonica and I noticed that many of the lessons on youtube.com make use of the Bb harmonica and even a D harmonica. But overall C is most commonly used to teach.
Search for lessons on Youtube there are literally hundreds upon hundreds from real bluesmen passing on the blues.
Oh and the piano man riff by Billy Joel is sooo easy I stumbled upon it within minutes of playing on the first day. (note I don't have any special talent for the instrument in general) Yeah Billy Joel is pretty noob at ze harp.
Good Luck.
