New Counting Crows Video - "You Can't Count On Me"

This video reflects, pretty much exactly, how we imagine Adam Duritz lives his life: in a sweet Manhattan apartment that August bought, bathed in flattering "Long December"-esque lighting all day and night, walking around the apartment staring at Polaroids and finding new and poetic ways to hate himself. Oh yeah, and also: hurting a different pretty lady every time we look in. Pretty much, right? OK! You're ready for the new video.

Alright, that his house came with DVD-quality reality-pausing was, in fact a surprise. That Adam had a shot in the vid with his name scrawled on an envelope ("Adam"!) most definitely was not.

Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is out 3/25 on Geffen/Interscope.

I think it's Counting Crows, rather than Counting Crowes.

I've only listened to the new album through once, but first impressions would say it's the weakest thing they've come up with. Really generic stuff. Which I suppose most people would've expected, but I was kinda hoping they'd surprise us with this. They didn't. Not at all.

And what a shit video. Why is every action that guy does so overacted? "Look everyone! I'm EMOTING!".

Was never a fan and I had a friend who worked with Duritz on a photo shoot and said he was one of the most unpleasant people to deal with.
