THROWDINI!: I've seen a few seemingly genuine, spontaneous encores, but not many. Last week Firewater came back for a 2nd encore, after leaving clearly having planned only to do one, but after people kept clapping for several minutes they stumbled back out for one more song. And a couple times I've seen openers or small local bands get called back for an encore when they probably wouldn't have if not for audience demand. But yeah, exceptions that prove the rule.

I saw them at Coachella a few years ago and thought they were pretty good. I wasn't really much of a Coldplay fan before that, but they won me over with that performance. I wasn't the only one, as I was hanging out with people specifically at the concert to see Bauhaus who said they were "surprised how much Coldplay rocked."

How do I say this ... THROWDINI!

If you've ever had the nonpleasure of seeing this band live, you'd agree.

But the clip of him prancing reminds me of the Pedobear gif.

I always find this funny. "Thanks [insert band name] for coming back and playing a couple of more songs. I'm sure glad they kept the house lights off." Is there ever actually a genuine encore anymore? Or even better, is a show ever so crappy that people just leave before the scripted encore, because that would be awesome.

I don't even want to know what that says about me.

And I'll take this as an opportunity to make two confessions: 1) I think Christ Martin is really cute, and 2) "Fix You" is my favorite Coldplay song.

It's more Broadway show than anything at this point. Any deviation from the script is headline news and probably fake anyway.

Oh and don't forget the encore, where the band spontaneously decides to come back and play the same three songs they played at the encore last night, timed to end 2 or 3 minutes short of the venue's curfew.

Look at the way they dress. At the very least they're sort of whimsical.
