A good way to spoil free wifi at the coffee house.

Over-amplified live music. (You'd think a church group -- which is what this band turns out to be -- would be down with acoustic music instead.)

If we don't get our DSL back soon, I'm going to need some really good earplugs.

Heh. There is church music of all stripes. Christian rap artists, guitar masses, simpy "Contemporary Christian" music, an awful lot of Country...

...as well as truly amazing things like half of what Bach wrote, the Mozart requiem, etc. (And Amazing Grace, for that matter.)

Might you find a different coffee house as an alternative?

Sorry; Jesus went electric years ago. Two words that might suggest the extent of this transition: Christian Metal.

It is a rule that if the audience can't hear their fillings screaming, you aren't playing loud enough. Oh, and if you can't sing, it is required that you amplify your music further to "remedy" the situation. It could be worse - my old coffeehouse hosted a band (for free - suprise) which sounded like a flock of songbirds being shredded in the engine intake of a B-52 at full thrust.
