      PhD Scholarship in Sociality and Cognition in Carrion Crows, Valladolid University, Spain
      A four-year funded PhD studentship is available at the University of Valladolid to investigate the relationship between sociality and cognition in carrion crows. Recent investigation on different corvid species has revealed surprisingly advanced cognitive abilities that sometimes rival those of non-human primates. In some species the individuals proved to possess the “theory of mind”, that is

      The Language of Crows (the Bird)

      Pissing off the Taste Police with Counting Crows
      The Taste Police does not seem to have a cohesive position on Counting Crows (the lack of a “the” in their name is an irritant). But the groundswell seems to suggest that “loathsome” is an adjective which would accurately capture the mood in some platoons. The notion of Counting Crows being the subject with which I aim to piss off the Taste Police will have tipped off the attentive reader

      Interesting Facts About Crows
      Crows are usually black in color all over, but some species are not totally black and are found with white, gray or brown coloring around the neck or the beak. Crows are considered to be very intelligent creatures and have existed since a long time due to their ability to adapt to changing situations. They belong to the corvid family of birds and are highly adaptable to any kind of situation.

      Counting Crows – Sunday
      “It feels like love, I better get a little of it in me.” How come you’re listening to Sunday on Monday. I knew you were going to ask that, just as you know I was going to say – it’s a wake-up song. Besides, he says, “I don’t believe in Sundays, I don’t believe in anything at all.” Too bad for him. I believe he got me outta bed feeling happy, which is all I need to believe. Bright, energetic, and mind-juices flowing into a dreamy meal of crunchy granola. Up-beat & smiling despite the lyric. I have no idea what the point of the song is, but that doesn’t matter. “Try to remember what you might forget.” Counting Crows

      Shows, crows, and the busiest day of the year
      It's press day in show week – perhaps the busiest day in our magazine's calendar. With twice as many news pages as usual to sub, lay out, proof, correct, send down and approve, all of the production desk has a hectic five or six hours. Not to mention that our technical editor has to do all of his proofing remotely, as he's down at the show too.Actually we've gone to press now, which is why I have a few minutes to write this post.

      "Crows of Tragedy St.", Nothink
      "Nothink" es una de esas nuevas bandas que parecen surgir de la nada y en apenas unas semanas logran vender todas las copias de su álbum debut. Desde luego se agradece la aparición de artistas con ganas de sorprender en un terreno tan pisado y repisado como es el mundo del rock. Y es que al escuchar un álbum de "Nothink" se aprecia una preocupación por ofrecer algo nuevo en cada tema, por no utilizar la misma fórmula una y otra vez. Sus temas enganchan desde el principio, pero lejos de aburrir al tercer día invitan a ser escuchados más y más veces.Se aprecia una clara influencia por parte de las más grandes bandas de los años 90. Hay momentos en los que suenan descaradamente a Foo Fighters, y otros en los que tienen un cierto aire a Queens of The Stone Age. También se puede escuchar algún que otro toque guitarrero propio de Muse. Sus composiciones son totalmente melódicas, cambiantes y con giros inesperados. Algunos tratan de compararlos con Nirvana por este motivo, pero y

      Stone the Crows - Teenage Licks (1971)256kbps This third album from Scotland's Stone the Crows was as close to hitting on all cylinders as they ever came in the studio. With some personnel changes following Ode to John Law (a new bassist and keyboard player), they powered through the disc, with "Big Jim Salter," "I May Be Right I May Be Wrong," and their version of Dylan's "Don't Think Twice" being the absolute standouts. The figureheads of vocalist Maggie Bell and guitarist Les Harvey had never sounded better as they worked in a pure rock vein, abandoning the blues aspect of their sound (Indeed, "Aileen Mochree" took them into Gaelic, a pleasant, brief side track) -- check "Mr. Wizard" to get a good picture of where they were really headed. Of course, it wasn't a one-dimensional sound; the keyboard-dominated "Seven Lakes" was full of pseudo-classical portentousness, almost de rigeur for the period. But it was when they rocked that Stone the Crows were at their best, and with this

      Stone The Crows - Ode To John Law (1970)(Re-Post)256kbps In a way, you have to feel sorry for Stone the Crows. All the elements were there for them to have been one of the major bands, up there with Zeppelin -- they even had the same management. But even on this, their second and best album, they could never quite put everything together. Live, they were an incendiary act, with singer Maggie Bell and guitarist Les Harvey true stars. Somehow, though, once they entered a recording studio, the magic seemed to come off with the overcoats. That's not to say this isn't a good album. "Sad Mary," "Friend," and "Love 74" are all showcases for Harvey's excellent guitar skills, while "Things Are Getting Better" and a cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Danger Zone" let Maggie Bell shine in her best Janis Joplin style (although it's a shame bassist Jim Dewar has his considerable vocal talents muffled). The good time, neo folk-rock of "Mad Dogs And Englishmen" offers some light relief. The biggest pro
