I'm a fan, and there is NOTHING less interesting to me than watching someone pluck strings and sing. The sound of the average human voice and average "real" instrument really bores me. Why would I care how well someone can move his fingers? I want to hear music, not watch someone's miraculous technique. Cecilia Bartoli singing, sure. Most people on stage? No. I can't even pretend to be apologetic about how boring I find the "four guys with instruments on stage" routine.
Electronic music please. I can't wait to hear Autechre live here in LA. If they don't jump around like Limp Bizkit, I won't care.
