I'm so gen-iPod. I go to a concert and I don't just think, "Why aren't you playing exactly the track I want to hear right now?" but also "Hey, that's my favorite part! Stop and play that part again!"

Hey, I don't want to pay $30 plus parking and gas to interrupt my schedule and watch a lower-quality performance than the studio recording.

I went to a show recently and it sucked (it was The 88's recent performance on Sunset Blvd.). But I haven't given up live music yet. I'm making a list of artists I actually want to see in concert so I can check for when they're coming to L.A.

This list doesn't look anything like my favorite artists or greatest artists lists would.
