i've never played my music live simply because of the fact that it would not
be very interesting visually.  i also made it point of not going to shows
for the same reason.  the last real "concert" i went to was aphex twin, who
basically sat on a couch and hit the play button on his dat machine.
recently, however, i have been attending some local events in order to
promote our label.  i have notice myself not really paying attention to the
"show" itself but concentrated instead on the music.  if i hear something i
like, i am too busy trying to figure out how the musician did what he did to
worry about how they appeared on stage.
