Are the Counting Crows cooler than any of us realized? First the Gaslight Anthem quote Adam Duritz's "wish I looked like Elvis" line on their ridiculously great song "High Lonesome", and then the long-maligned dreaded-up dorm-rockers announced that they'd be bringing the Hold Steady on tour with them in the UK and Ireland.We reported that story last year, but Counting Crows went and postponed the tour. It turns out the reason for the schedule change wasn't that Duritz and them knew they'd be blatantly outrocked every night. Rather, it was the economy. NME reports that the whole tour has been rescheduled and will in fact be going down in May. And apparently the Counting Crows are still big enough in England to headline Wembley Arena? Which means the Hold Steady will get to rock Wembley, which will be ridiculous.If the Counting Crows guys know what's good for them, they will spend the intervening months getting their alcohol-tolerance levels up. Those Hold Steady dudes do not play.read more

Dave Matthews! Why do you keep making it so hard to hate you? You signed My Morning Jacket, reissued Exile in Guyville, put out In Rainbows, and now this. My high school self just can't deal with this cognitive dissonance! Are you trying to make me abandon my adolescent principles or something? Trying to make me open my mind to the idea that the...
