I have "Arms', it's probably one of my least favorite albums in my collection, just bored me to tears.

Well it depends what you like. ;-) Of course, at this point it's unlikely I'll ever see Evan Parker, Peter Brotzmann, or John Butcher live (especially the first two), but in my personal experience, most of the music that's worth listening to from Europe makes it over here at a reasonable price because of the US' size, while I can't imagine that's the case for all of Europe. For example, poor James must pay an arm and a leg to order from Wayside because labels like Cuneiform and Tzadik are based in the US and don't really have the budget to expand. Or for a more concrete example: Satoko Fujii's album Jo (which is from Japan, I know!) is listed as an import on both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, but they're listed at $17 and 20 pounds.

I've also noticed that the prices for music in the US are lower the the medium prices in Europe. Since France is more expensive than the European medium, you win at this one. I hate seeing new CDs at 20-25 euros and normal CDs at 15-20 euro.

The good side about Paris, near which I live, is that it's like some sort of live music capital of Europe. Even if last.fm shows a double amount of concerts for London, the concerts shown for Paris are always a lot more interesting. I can't figure the exact reason for this. The venues in Paris are small, there isn't much attendance, and as the costs are high, I assume that the profits are not that great. Maybe it's a prestige thing? Since we moved to France ten months ago, we never had enough time and money to go to all the concert's we would have liked to. We've seen Magma (twice), Univers Zero, Gong, One Shot, Porcupine Tree, Mars Volta, Depeche Mode, AIR, Tortoise, Ulver, and I have tickets for Jaga Jazzist. These are all pretty mainstream but there are also the RIO Festival (where we didn't go because I don't think my girlfriend was ready for that yet), the jazz festivals (more mainstream ones like Jazz sur Seine but also the avantgarde stuff from Cite De La Musique which like a continuous festival; right now they have Metal Machine Music).

Also, there's Bruxelles (one hour by train), London (two hours by train), Amsterdam (three hours by train), Louxembourg (a lot of concerts there, surprisingly), etc.

Or southwest Michigan.

It's nice out in the country, and I'm close to Lake Michigan, not to mention the millions and millions of smaller lakes.
