As a music reviewer you are probably on the high end of "listening to new music" for sure lol. I cant imagine being one of those people who follow the same band around all the time... I mean I love some of the same bands as I used to, like my old favorite band Tera Melos is still great, but I can't imagine literally following them on tour as a fan for years or something. That would be not the move.

I've met Phish heads with multiple ipods of live recordings... ergh, not for me. It feels more like a religion than a fandom at that point, like "join this crowd and obsess over it and your identity will be secure"
