... you know those times at big concerts when all you can see are thousands of point-and-shoot cameras held up to capture a blurry, shaky moment? Massive visual annoyance? Eerily beautiful? Both?

ah, i spaced on the TG show!
Black Kids and Mates of State are playing the Independent tonight, too.
I stopped filming bits of shows awhile back. It kept me from enjoying the show and I now find it annoying as do most artists.
How much data on the internet is shitty concert footage?
About 30 percent of it, but it's all on YouTube, pixelated beyond belief, in 18-second clips.
On Saturday I stood next to somebody who filmed an entire set on his camcorder. He was jumping up and down and singing the whole time. Don't know whether he intends to share it, but I'm sure the footage is stunning.
