Hang the DJ. Please.
On Friday night, Fur Patrol played at Bar Bodega. They announced their last song, played it with aplomb, and left the stage. Now, everyone knows that the last song isn't really the last song because the band comes back for an encore or two - well, everyone know that, that is, except for the DJ, who started playing MGMT again, even as curious heads emerged from around the corner of backstage going "What? Can you turn that off please?" to no avail. The crowd were confused - DJ music always means the end of a gig - and shuffled off, so by the time the DJ got the message that they'd fucked up, Fur Patrol would have played to an empty room.
So, because someone didn't know the rules of the encore, we missed out on Fur Patrol's first airing of 'Dominoes' in like, eight years. You suck, DJ.

This reminds me of the tale I heard when Silverchair first played in New Zealand, when the bulk of their audience were so young they'd come along with their parents.
After the show ended, the parents started ushering their kids out, not realising an encore was coming.
In the end, a roadie had to run out on stage and yell, pantomime style, "Do you want some more?!!!"
I was there also... what a shitter.
You know this is gonna become one of those local rock legends eh? The DJs gonna be haunted by it for years to come, but the band will get a kick out of the gaff each time its mentioned.
Karma baby.
We just stood there like stunned mullets... but by the time someone got to the stupid DJ with a mallet and a fish hook I turned around and we were 3 people in a group of about 10 who were still standing there.
SIGHBURGERS. Dominoes would have been bitchin.
Could be worse. I went to see !!! a few months ago and they only played for an hour. We all stood around expecting an encore that never happened. I was very disappointed and won't be pirating their music in the future. I've already deleted any of thier music from my mp3 player.

I love that moral highground
woah, wasn't expecting the giant quote fingers
ha. that comment made me laugh. like this. "ha." infact, you can see it. it's the first word of this reply.
A literal LOL, or LLOL, as it were?
mainly just in that it made me type an "h" and then an "a". to spell the word "ha".
what does llol mean?
It's the sound a Welshman makes when he laughs.
Dial 999! He's not laughing when he makes that sound.
