Streeter Seidell is a comedy writer and (mediocre) drummer living in Brooklyn, NY. During the day he edits the front page of CollegeHumor.com but when the sun goes down he takes his place at the helm of the Indablog. He maintains a personal blog at StreeterSeidell.com and wants to make sure you know he once wrote something for the New York Times and that it was, in the words of his mother, "Amazing! You're so talented!"

Welcome back, Indabans. I hope you all had a lovely 4th of July. I myself threw a big BBQ at my apartment and only finished cleaning it up late Sunday evening. God bless our gluttonous land. Any who, let's get back to the matter at hand: arguing about music. Now, last week we talked about busy drummers and busy bassists. I myself tend to find a busy bassist more grating, but a strong case can be made for drummers who don't know when to play a solid beat. And that's what we're going to argue about this week. So, I want to know, when you see a band, which do you prefer: a group that plays pitch perfect, precision renditions of their songs or a band that gets a little crazy on stage at the cost of quality. I've seen both variations - bands that perform perfect yet slightly-mundane live shows and bands that go, forgive the language, balls to the wall, yet might miss a chord change or two. So, what do you prefer: boring precision or crazy inaccuracy? Let em rip in the comments.
