shit i will no longer tolerate by performers at local rock music concerts:

  • "No" head while playing mediocre guitar riff. The self-doubt intimated by this gesture does not inspire confidence in your vision.
  • The seizure march. Poorly attended. Alt country. Shoe gaze. Club show. NOT a Jewish wedding. Not even a quincinera.
  • Referring to Seattle as "this town." Last time I checked the census, Seattle was a thriving metropolis with over one-half of one million people. And you, sir, are no John Cougar Mellencamp.

Shit I'm totally pro:
  • "There will be beer" as a pun on "There will be blood."
  • Starting your set off with "Who's gotta work tomorrow morning?!?"

i don't like it when performers refer to their performance as a "rock show". As in "glad you could all make it to the fucking rock show". or "We don't need any drama, we're just here to play a rock show".
