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.
