What's up with Competition Music?

[artdutra04]

While most of the time the music at the events is appropriate, it is often way too loud. Like I-have-to-shout-to-be-heard-by-the-person-next-to-me loud, which constitutes unsafe conditions for prolonged exposure (per OSHA guidelines).

And, it would be a lot nicer if the DJs took some deeper cuts from time to time. Nothing too obscure, but just once [in a while] I'd like to hear something "fresh" in regards to FIRST events.

Maybe it's O.A.R. Or Muse. Or The Bravery. Or Pendulum. Or Blues Traveler. Or some local/indie bands. It could be anything, really.
