I consider art sacred.

The word 'album' has become synonymous with a grouping of songs arranged in a certain way and with intent, whether it be grouped by a concept or simply arranged in the most aesthetically pleasing way, at least in my mind. I don't consider the technology with which that is achieved to be sacred, but the concept of arranging your songs in a certain order to produce an effect on the listener, that is art, and whether or not it is performed live is secondary. It's the piece of media as a whole which is art, and yes, that is sacred.

Maybe we're talking about different things here.
