Ahhhhh!

[arienette]

My next door neighbor has a fuck load of bass on her stereo system, she's one of those "yo yo yo" gangster rapper people who listens to gangster rap and that was bad enough. Or so I thought.

I woke up to her and her husband screaming at each other (he cheats, she speculates, forgives him, etc. It even was as far as him trying to get with me...Didn't happen, though; not in his wildest...) so he left and of course, what does a woman do when she's sad? Yes, the sappy music goes on.

So now I can hear the bass thumping through the walls and what is it of? The fucking Dirty Dancing soundtrack! I can't take it anymore!

Someone save me. Please?

 

[Liar]

At leats it's not gangsta rappers trying to be emo. There's nothing more pathetic than that.

Be thankful it's not an endless string of musical soundtracks. Thank God my sisters have gone of to their college. Now they can play that stuff over and over in their dorm room, far FAR away from me. Don't get me wrong, musicals are cool and all, but not when they're blasted 24 hours a day.

I'm curious. What musicals are they listening to? That doesn't seem to be the preferred genre for most teen girls.

Get yourself two 30" directional speakers and aim them at her house with the Civil War Oerature playing at full volume. She'll shut the fuck up.

You're right it's not, but they're hardly what I'd call typical teen girls. Drama freaks (That's a technical term. I myself am a band geek. not meant as an insult).

Anyways, they listen to all kinds of musicals. Rent, The Producers, Little Shop of Horrors and Wicked are some of their favorites, but they always seem to have a new one going. They've been like that for years.

I Rent.

And no, not the time of my life at all...and I also do not wish it to stay (just a little bit longer).

I am a charter member of both geekdoms. I was thinking older musicals: "South Pacific", "Brigadoon", "Camelot", etc. I could just imagine Enzio Pinza? (or whatever his name is) belting out "Some Enchanted Evening".

Oh they listen to those too. They make frequent trips to Rasputin's in order to get whatever they can find.

One of them tends to get these obsessive crushes on actors she thinks are good. She buys movies just because they have that particular actor in them. Her latest, Kevin Spacey. *shakes head and sighs*

*edit*btw, what instrument did you play?

Seven, American Beauty - both good. I could do without KPax, though.

*avoiding the cheap joke "skin flute"*

Actually I never learned to read music so my instrumental career was limited to holding the music for the pep band. I was in chorus, etc.

I spent my high school years onstage in the musicals and plays until my boyfriend graduated from. Then I ran the light board for all the productions. (The job was an "apprenticed" one and I was the one he taught. It was one of the old ones mounted on the wall with great big rheostats.)

However, I did marry a music guy, not the high school one, who played baritone sax.

I had neighbors like this in College. They would play music loud at all hours which sucked when I had 8am classes.

After one night when they were up partying till 6am I went to the store early in the morning and bought a Square Dancing CD. Put in in the stereo, pointed the speakers at the wall, set the CD player to repeat, cranked the volume and left for the day.

It was remarkably quiet for a few weeks after that.

Nice. And thanks for not going with the "skin flute" joke. You can't imagine how many times I've heard that one.

 

[SeaCat]

LOLOLOL

An easy cure for this.

Buy a Blue Grass CD. (Nothing agaist BlueGrass mind you, it's one of my favorites.)

Then do as CD recomended.

Oh and BagPipe Music works just as well.

 

[MaeveoSliabh]

*can, sadly, provide bagpipe music... and a few tunes in Gaelic, just to confuse people*

i love love love this idea.

on the other hand, when i hear 'guys' driving by with the bass so loud that it rattles my windows, my fondest hope is that they'll turn up the amp cuz...
too much bass causes infertility.
just a thought.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

I'm totally with the idea of aiming speakers at her apartment and putting an obnoxious CD on repeat. I did this to my metalhead neighbor once on an Easter sunday morning after he and his friends had blared hair band power ballads all night long. I had one of those Hari Krishna chant CD's.

In most cases the remedy is the image below, but this does not work with sub-woofers. Damn sub-woofers. Damn them and their Satanic inventers and producers to the most toturous realms of hell. This used to be a helluva planet, and then they invented sub-woofers.

I propose an amendment to the criminal code, muder plea section: Innocent by reason of sub-woofers.

Look at the bright side - it could be George Jones and Tammy Winnette.

I retaliate with genuine Spanish Flamenco singing.

Am I the only person in the UK who appreciates it?

I always like to suggest, in situations like this, something modern but classical -- playing a little of Olivier Messiaen's Turangalîla Symphonie or, if you can tolerate it yourself, Krzysztof Penderecki's Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima would probably work wonders.
