A: Almost always! I've been known to even make a Spotify playlist to prep for a show.

I'm going to a club show on Thursday to see Teenage Bottlerocket. When my son asked me if I wanted to go, I only knew (and really liked) two songs for sure. I feel no shame making a playlist based on a recent show and having it play as background music in the days leading up to my show. There will be a familiarity with songs when I see them.

Am I alone with this addictive habit?

I love that you do this. I always listen to the music ahead of time and sometimes I will look up who is opening and play some of their music in the background.

Back in the day I would buy the latest CD by the opener ahead of time if possible. Streaming services make checking out material by bands much easier (and cheaper).
