Yeah, that's what happens when you live in the middle of the woods. Bands just don't come by that much. I live near New York, though, so I see upwards of twenty shows a night. I've been doing that for about thirty years now, nonstop. It becomes a blur; garage bands are but mayflies, trends are just the season. I blinked once and I missed the entire shoegaze movement.

I could imagine almost getting jaded with shows living near New York.
(I could also imagine being extremely broke from this as well.)

I'd like to seriously know how many bands I have seen. I have no idea though, and it would take waytoofuckinglong to figure it out. More interesting would be the amount of money spent on concerts/festivals.

I saw the american idol tour the first season.
Ruined shows for me so I never went again.
AKA - I've only been to one show.

Caught the Lonely Forest opening for We Were Promised Jetpacks last night (who, by the way, are one of the best bands I've seen in quite sometime. check them out ASAP).
They (TLF) should be pretty good in a festval setting, their drummer can fucking wail on his set and their singer has some serious pipes. A little emo at times but I dig them.

Emo
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.
Emo
Punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands.
Emo
A group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment.

Do I have to give the "emo lecture"? Cuz I don't think Rites of Spring, Embrace, or Moss Icon - just to name three - fit that description

Has anyone ever seen either The XX or She & Him in festival setting? Both groups have released AMAZING albums but I'm not sure if they would come across as great live bands in this setting, especially after what I've read about The XX live.

I can't say anything about the festival setting for either, but I have seen The XX live, and I was impressed by the set--taking into consideration that they had just recently lost a member in mid-tour. I'm really interested to hopefully, see them in an atmosphere that can really carry their sound.

I saw Deadmau5 at Sasquatch last year as well as on tour in Vancouver last November. I love his music, so will definately be there again.
I saw Brother Ali at Coachella '07 and wasn't all that impressed. I intend to give his music another listen in the next couple of months to decide if I feel like trying that again.
I saw MGMT at Coachella '07 as well, but the tent was so packed out, and I hadn't really heard of them at the time.
I saw Tegan and Sara in Montreal at a small club several years ago. They were alot more folky/less pop oriented then, so I'm interested to see how they've grown since then...
