Man, that new Counting Crows song from the Shrek 2 Soundtrack is trying so hard to be an Elvis Costello song it borders on painful. I actually like a bunch of the Counting Crows stuff, and I love love LOVE Elvis Costello. Those two just do not go well together though.

As long as I'm spouting off about music, for the record (you know 'cause I'm sure everybody cares about what I'm listening to these days) I do really like that Franz Ferdinand song, "Take Me Out". So much so in fact that I went out and well let's say sampled the rest of the album on a Usenet Binary group, and I'm sorry to say that I'm not as onboard with a lot of the rest of record.
