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.
