after all these years, i get to see DEVO! when i was at uni, everyone was playing grateful dead, jimi hendrix, and led zeppelin. i was playing devo and b-52's -- and everybody hated me for it.

that's an excellent review

and their live shows are essential! :)

i was just starting to think that i liked you, DiS. then you left out my 2 choices for album of the year. time for me to find some new friends....

if i want to see arcade fire (or someone else) and i wasn't able to buy tickets directly, then what am i supposed to do? abstain and deny myself of the experience even when i am willing to pay for it?

realistically, bands like arcade fire have 2 options to fight touts:

1. raise their prices to match what the market is willing to pay. (after all, they are leaving money on the table by underpricing the market.)

2. find (or maybe start) another ticket agency that is dedicated to putting tickets directly into the hands of true fans.
