No mention of Live Songs?  BOO.

Branching off of Tasha's familiarity point, I'd love to see punk/indie nostalgia shows vanish forever.  All the reunions and "we play the album you all love!" shows could go away and bands could maybe, just maybe, try being restlessly creative and forward-thinking again.  Getting rid of the familiarity thing in the…
