    big vs. small

    Acts I saw in small venues, was blown away, and now seeing them in a larger venue just can't compare: Radiohead, Interpol, Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, Postal Service, the Shins.

    Acts who rock, no matter what size the venue: David Bowie, Pixies.

    Acts who play small-to-medium venues, and who are just amazing live: Agree w/ the posters who listed Les Savy Fav and the Wrens. Also, Iron & Wine, Rosie Thomas, Neko Case.

    Acts to skip: Most electronic music, it just doesn't measure up in a live setting. Yeah Yeah Yeahs were unimpressive. Muse = meh.
