gen z and my generation really need it to get it the fuck together with counting crows.
i just have real trouble understanding how ‘round here’ doesn’t make mentally ill twenty-somethings completely fucking feral and insane. if you tell me you dissociate you should have to tell me you know 5 counting crows songs.
some selected and bulleted lyrical samples of shit that should fuck you up like it fucks me up because I have the time:
1)little angels of the silences that CLIMB INTO MY BED AND WHISPER!!!! SUCK MY BLOOD!!!!! BREAK MY NERVES!!!! OFFER ME THEIR ARMS!!!!!
2)she says she knows she’s more than just a little misunderstood/she has trouble acting normal WHEN SHE’S NERVOUS!!!!!
3) there are trains that will take a girl to Paris/there are trains to bring you home / there some of us who get broken when we’re children/and then never get it back/once it is gone
stop judging artists based on their contributions to major franchises and stupid 90s haircuts. everybody gotta pay the bills and we all have pasts.

One of the longest relationships that I've ever had is with the band Counting Crows... Stick with me on this one.
A friend in sixth form college brought back Recovering the Satelites from a trip to New York and the moment I heard Catapult, Goodnight Elizabeth, and the eponymous title track, I knew I was done for. I was in love with a new kind of poet.
We've had our ups and downs. There have been times when I've not believed we'll work through our differences (Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings), when I've cursed their tardiness (an age to release any new music and then they drop a greatest hits instead of the live album we were promised), and there've been moments when I've been mad at them for keeping secrets (Disney Boot). Overall though I am still as bessotted with them as I was almost 25 years ago.
Although they weren't my first love (Jason Donovan takes that mantle) they were probably my first true love. I have travelled all over to see them perform and, although Covid 19 has kept us apart a couple of times in the past, I'm so excited to be seeing them in September and October when I'll finally get to follow them around on their European tour.
To some people they're just another band but to me they are a massive part of why I am still here breathing, able to write out this long diatribe of reverence. They have brought me back from the brink of irreversible decision making on more than one occasion and I look forward to hopefully being able to tell them in person when I see them in Milan. 💛
Yellow person: They are the person who saved you. They are your hero, your reason for living. They make you happy beyond words can express. They are your twin flame or your soulmate. Your everything 💛

For one day.
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
There are plenty of people I could put here. There are famous athletes and actors and writers, and whoever I admire that I would love to know what a day in their life is like. But that just feels small to me.
I think there’s something I’ve always wondered – and arguably, I think we all wonder this on some level – what would it…

Winnetka Music Festival: 6/16-6/17
Alejandro Escovedo
BY JORDAN MAINZER
Unlike summer street festivals in other “affluent” Chicago suburbs--Alejandro Escovedo’s words, not mine--the Winnetka Music Festival chooses established and up-and-coming independent, original artists in favor of the usual rotation of the same five cover acts.
The Wallflowers
Friday night, the headliner was a band that unexpectedly signed with New West two years ago: none other than The Wallflowers, the long-running project of singer-songwriter Jakob Dylan. Yes, they played the major songs from beloved major label sophomore record Bringing Down the Horse: the eternal “One Headlight”, the Adam Duritz-featuring “6th Avenue Heartache”, the “Sweet Jane”-riffed “Three Marlenas”, blasted jam “The Difference”, and Southern rocker “God Don’t Make Lonely Girls”. Though the aforementioned Counting Crow was nowhere to be found, the rest of the band brought down the horse house. Ben Peeler’s shimmery steel guitars shined alongside the churchy keys of the band’s biggest hits. If Dylan’s voice was raspy and understated, the instrumentation delivered the emotional punches, especially on songs from their latest Exit Wounds like “Roots and Wings”, where Dylan reflects on where he came from and what’s allowed him to move beyond. And the encore contained two covers of songs by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; considering Dylan’s father played in a band with the late, great Petty, it (perhaps unfairly) feels like The Wallflowers covering Petty is more appropriate than a version from any other Americana band. They were certainly crowd pleasers. After a speech about the paradox of “rules are meant to be broken,” Dylan proclaimed one mantra he’s learned to follow: “If you got a good thing, keep it going.” I can’t think of a better phrase to sum up everything about The Wallflowers, from that one set to their entire career.
The Dip
Proceeding The Wallflowers on the same stage was another singalong-friendly band, Seattle R&B/funk septet The Dip. Yes, they were masters of style and tempo. Jacob Lundgren’s prickly guitars propelled the existential “Crickets”. Mark Hunter’s bass and Jarred Katz’ drums buoyed the strut of “She Gave Me The Keys”. The fluttery horn section--trumpeter Brendan Carter, tenor saxophonist Levi Gillis, and baritone saxophonist Evan Smith--were given ample space to solo and meander through the extended jams of “She Gave Me The Keys” and “Sure Don’t Miss You”. Throughout, Tom Eddy’s soulful lead vocals and charismatic banter and context helped make a decidedly retro band sound fresh and contemporary.
Escovedo
If there was an outlier in not just the bands I saw but the whole festival, it was Alejandro Escovedo. He admitted it, noticing that unlike The Wallflowers and that night’s main headliner, Michael Franti & Spearhead, “We don’t get you movin’ and dancing.” The band took their time to sort through some sound issues and eased into their set, beginning with the languid “Wave” and echoing “Sometimes”, respective showcases for synthesizer/keyboard player Scott Danbom and drummer Mark Henne. Eventually, Escovedo and company became energized, laying down power pop burner “Break This Time” and Escovedo’s two most popular tunes, Chuck Prophet co-write (and dedicated to the hurting Jesse Malin) “Always a Friend” and “Castanets”. But it was the tunes in between that stood out. Escovedo introduced “Dearhead on the Wall” as “a song about taxidermy and Buddhism”; as he’s aged, the way his voice trembles on his more contemplative tunes is almost gothic in character, effective even if not purposeful. He muffled his vocals on “Sally Was a Cop” and “Teenage Luggage”; non-fans, town locals, and passersby likely didn’t expect to hear the words, “America's a blood-stain in a honky-tonk kill” emanating from the stage as if through a megaphone. Then again, with a discography like Escovedo’s, nobody knew what to expect, and he delivered a masterfully taut collection of his finest songwriting, leaving the band the opportunity to straight up choogle.
So, yes, the Winnetka Music Festival, which is presented in collaboration with SPACE in Evanston, is not your average Chicago suburban street festival, and certainly not one I would have expected even 10 years ago, let alone growing up on the North Shore of Chicago.
