That argument is just absurd... Are you saying that a skilled musician
can't play good music for one or two hours? I wonder what Duke Ellington,
Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, or Gustav Mahler would think
about that idea? (All of whom had plenty of extended pieces/performaces
that I certainly would NOT call boring). Does that mean you won't even
listen to an hour long album by a single artist? Putting a set together is
like telling a story, it's not about playing a couple greatest hits... It's
about using a combination of rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and textures, in
a way that makes a statement and moves people. If this is done creatively
and passionately by people who are talented the music will be GOOD, whether
it's a live PA, a live trumpet player, an orchestra, or a DJ.

uh.......
A DJ can play the best music from many artists for a long bloody time, a
LIVE artist can only play a couple of their good tracks and a bunch of
their boring stuff for two hours MAX... *you* decide what you want to
pay for.
Tiga makes me guile.
