I've always searched for work that feels like play. During college, I found some as a stringer for Insound.com - an indie-Amazon that handles all of Pitchfork's CD sales. It was started by "three guys and a machine," but I don't know if those guys are still around (perhaps they were replaced by more machines?). I do know that they bought me concert tickets and film so that I could shoot any indie rock bands that made their way through Colorado. No pay, no stipend for beer and no fake ID with which to buy it, but I got to see a lot shows and take a few pictures. [The shot on your left is of Built to Spill.]
