Anyone Else Addicted To....

i think i've only been to 8 if you dont count working at them.

and i thnk as long as the amount of times you get laid per year is equal to or more than the amount of shows you go to, its ok.

I guess. I mean I've been going to concerts since I was 8 years old. I'm 23 now. I don't think I'm a rookie.

About 2 summers ago I went to like 20 some shows in the span of 2 or 3 months. It was an awesome summer binge. Now i go to shows I really wanna go instead of a bunch of new bands I dig or random stuff ive read about here and there.

I keep a healthy dose of concerts in my system. Im going to the club tonight! whoop! Eagles of Death Metal!!!

I like your philosophy. Seriously, I only go to shows that I really to attend. I've always been like that. Why spend money on something that might be crap or that you're not a huge fan of?

Yikes…I'll say this much, last year was pretty bad then. This year, however, has been a good year.

So as a married man over the age of 30, would you say your 2008 totals are about equal?

See, I can say that about myself too.

Guess I've spread myself way too thin music appreciation-wise.

If 22 shows in one year makes you an addict, I'd hate to know what I qualify as (I do that over a span of two months).


Someone who needs more of a life, perhaps?

so out of curiosity - i wondered how much of my life was wasted on concerts this year. and i use the term wasted loosely, as i dont see any show being a waste of time (ok the teenagers twice, well once was ok, the second time im sure was a waste). and im sad to say ill only see about 115 shows this year.

my goal for next year is to help oxfam out at more shows, thusly seeing more free shows and working at more festivals (even tho most are free anyway - i feel good about it in the end).

i have no idea how many shows i've seen this year but most of them have been brmc and sadly i've only made it to two festivals this year

Concert addiction? Never heard of such a thing.

this may seem like an obvious question, but what do those of you who are addicted find most addictive?

i've been seeing 250+ shows a year since 2003. then again, i've been working in clubs as either security or manager, and i also play dozens of shows a year.

the great thing about being into obscure shit nobody else gives a crap about is that the majority of shows are in the free-$8 range, which makes seeing shows quite affordable. and since there are usually zero-30 people there, you get a great view!

live music is my life, and i'm lucky enough to have gotten to a point where i'm actually making a decent living booking bands i like (for the most part).

Heroin.

Did you catch the Homosexuals' Philly show? DC was fairly well attended. Dude has more energy than most musicians 1/3-1/2 his age and that band he put together is ridiculously tight!
