Download: Live Counting Crows

Counting Crows have announced the launch of their new download site, LiveCountingCrows.com where you can download every show they play from 28th of July onwards. Unfortunately that's too late for either the Ambassador or Oxegen performances from this year, but when they play the O2 Point in December, it'll be on there.

The downloads cost $9.95 for 128kbps mp3, seriously guys, make it 320kbps or V2 or V0 or something, better quality is needed. But I suppose that's why they want you to spend 3 dollars more to buy the FLAC. You can also get the CD (not sure if Irish shipping is available) for a robbery of $21.

But the reason I'm highlighting this is because the first ten thousand members of the site (that hasn't been reached yet) can download the 28th of July 2008 at the Verizon Amphitheater in Charlotte, NC. Get it soon, because 10,000 isn't all that much for a US-based site.

And from me, here's a live recording of 'Rain King' with a 'Thunder Road' interpolation from a few years back:

Live: Prom Night at the Roost

While not as big as say, Coldplay at the O2 Point, Prom Night at the Roost is just as important. A local Kildare lady has organised an extravaganza at the Roost DiscoBar in Maynooth, of which the like you've never seen before. Well, you have seen it. On My Super Sweet 16, and back in the days of your own Debs or Grad Ball. Anyhow, Prom Night has been set up to attempt to raise €10,000 for Breast Cancer Research.

The Press Release for the event states:

Sunday 24th August....A night to remember.

Miss your debs?? Get too drunk and barely remember it? Want to relive happy memories??

Prom night needs you!! Girls get your fancy dresses on, boys fancy suits please! Nothing better than a bit of fancy drinking! Slow sets, alcoholic punch (Oh yes) and fun times all around.

Yes it is cheesy, yes it is a little camp but it's all in aid of a good cause.

Tickets on sale!!! €15 each. All for a GOOD CAUSE!! Bebo mail me to reserve!!!!

The DJ for the night will be the excellent Paul White, who has kindly given his services to the event free of charge. A huge heart that man has. Although you can't see it, because it's covered by this tie:
