Tjernobyl's comments:

• For shows, the Average Reader would want to know if they played a couple shows, or a heck of a lot of shows. The actual number isn't so important as the magnitude. I'd recommend and something like. 'Many' is up for interpretation, but I'd guess maybe 30ish.

• For touring, making it out of town at all is probably the main factor. Anything more than say an hour's drive, so the Lakeview Lodge wouldn't count. I'd call that.

• We need a category for human-selected notable bands as well. Bands like The Negatives, Headcramp, and The Jarvis Street Revue need to stand out more.
