Here’s a question for you:

Really?

Question of the Day for Wednesday November 18, 2009

You may not know this but while the rest of us are making dumb jokes and giving mediocre reviews our very own Matt Siblo is a real life writer, which is to say his writing can be found on websites that don’t have “WordPress” in the URL. Over at the DCist, Matt waxes critical on Devo’s performance of their album Freedom of Choice.

The introduction raises an interesting question: is one band playing an entire album live boring? Or is there some kind of excitement to seeing a band play their “seminal” albums from start to finish? Check out the link, and weigh in here with your opinion.

Question of the Day for Tuesday, November 3, 2009

In conjunction with my Ted Leo live review, I am wondering how AVERSE readers feel about a band playing new songs live.

How do you think they should be integrated into a set? In a row? At the beginning? How many are appropriate?

Note that when I say new, I mean unreleased and not from a record that has just been released.

I’d love to get some feedback on this so comment it up!

Look at the highest comment and notice the lack of responses.  What do you guys think?
