11. When I did the concert thing, my goal was to see as many

cool bands as I could in as short a period of time as I could. I saw most bands only once, but I saw the Psychedelic Furs four times at Duke University from 1981 to 1986. :hi:

17. Oh, my - the Psychadelic Furs! I haven't thought of them in years!

Good band. I also always wanted to see The Wallets. Great music, and living in Wisconsin they were always playing nearby, but I just never was able to see them. Sadly, the only music of theirs I have is on cassette tape. I'd love to get their music again on something I can play, like vinyl or CD.

21. The Psych Furs albums are all on CD now.

For a while, some of their stuff was out of print. I've got their early CDs because the albums I have on vinyl are too precious for me to play with the only turntable stylus I think I could ever find. :(

12. seen the KINKS over 10 times

mostly in the late 70's and early 80's. My brother saw them first back in 1969 when they were allowed back into the USA after their "ban". He's seen them, certainly over 20 times.

14. I never go to see big name bands, really...

I saw Pearl Jam last year, but otherwise, don't normally care about the big name bands that come around.

Now for smaller bands, I try to make shows as often as possible. I've seen Children Of Eve, Call The Ambulance and Marceno live a few times each. I would be seeing Children Of Eve and Call The Ambulance again tonight had the plans not been fucked up.

Would have seen Billy Talent, Wintersleep and Contrived multiple times also, had my plans not been fucked up. (My concert plans get fucked up a lot, haha.)

Huh, I think that's it. Except for a friend's band, which I've seen a lot.

And of course, classical groups like Meredith Monk, Kronos Quartet, Philiip Glass ensemble, Steve Reich ensemble, Brooklyn Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, and a so on i've seen many times.
