pencopal - tell that snarky barista that "macchiato" actually means "stained" and only infers a little bit of milk with espresso.

I agree Jill. I can't stand artist who DON'T talk to the audience. I don't need a lot of talking, but an acknowledgment is necessary and I do like the musician/band to entertain me as well.

Sorry, Bill, gonna have to disagree with you again about something: artists on tour SHOULD be able to talk to their audience. I don't want the whole damned life story, but if they ignore the audience and just play without saying much of anything, why the hell are people paying to see them live when they'd get the same experience listening to their CDs at home?

I am just as pretentious about Pitchfork music reviews as they are about music selection. But at the same time, they did give The National's "Boxer" an 8.6. Still, I think it deserved an 8.9.
