Bang on the wall and ask for an "Under my spell/I'll never tell" encore.

I should. Except it will be shouting off the balcony, cos I think it's someone across the courtyard. Not that they'd hear me over the woman who for reasons best known to herself is standing in the middle of the courtyard shouting into the phone. She sounds a) totally drunk, b) like she smokes 10 packs a day and c) like she's trying to make a complaint to someone about some promise the president of the united states made to her.

It's getting to the point that I'm wondering if she's insane or if I am.

She is, hon. She is. Though, now I MUST know what it is that Bush promised her. Maybe I'm the insane one.

Wow, fun neighbors. You can hear their music from across the courtyard? Holy crap! "Standing" isn't even a loud song! I'm as big a Giles fan as anyone, but why would you need to listen to him a 175 decibals?

I kind of want to know what Bush promised her too. but she's stopped shouting now and gone back inside, so I think we will never know.

I haven't really had any sound problems since I moved in except one party at the pool one night, but yeah, today is noisy. I wonder if maybe the music person was in the shower or something and wanted to hear the music over the water? because the Giles/Tara was really loud (like in my room loud) and then the first Evanessance song, but now it's just loud enough that I am still pretty sure it's evan... but not enough to know what song or to really hear it. Why the person had a single OMwF song at the front of E is a mystery to me though.

The courtyard is fairly small, maybe 30 yards across? and kind of functions as an echo chamber, so things are probably louder than they appear. and ahh as I've been typing this, the music is gone :)

Maybe a mix CD?

I'm going to have to ask for constant updates on your wacky neighbors. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it's going to be.

Actually, consider yourself lucky. Last year we had a guy living across the street from us who was into throwing loud parties with techno music. During the week. At 2 am.

I called the cops on him once.

My preferred solution? Play death thrash metal really loud with the stereo facing their wall until they get the message.

that would work better if it was coming through the wall. or if I owned any death thrash metal... (does nickleback count? I might have nickleback somewhere)

If I just blast it out into the courtyard I only up the ante. :)

Crazy neighbours - ah, gotta hate them.

Many neighbours back at the old place, there was a really nice girl who only ever played the first coupla verses of Dido's 'Thank You', at full volume before turning it off altogether.

Pals of ours would come over and groan when it blasted through the wall. I would then impress them by saying, "Don't worry, it will stop in precisely 58 seconds," proving once and for all that I am an incurable know it all!

I always wanted to know what it was about the first few bits of that song that floated her boat, but a bit like Bush's promises, I guess we'll never know.

Crazy neighbours - ah, gotta hate them.

this totally cracked me up. and reminded me of why I often miss talking to english people.

i have songs that I sometimes play the first part twice before moving on to the rest, but never loud and never with then turning off.

People are strange :D

Hee! Once More With Feeling is the only Buffy ep I have on tape to rewatch!

My music/neighbours anecdote involves a drunken party, 3 am, and a community sing-song of American Pie (the original version) about 10 times in a row. And it is an effing LONG song...

I really hate it when something makes me dislike a song I once enjoyed.

I think that would put me off that song. Once at a time is plenty for it. Kinda like Stairway to Heaven :)
