MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) — Memphis police said a man was accused of beating his neighbor with a cinderblock and a table after he told him to turn his music down.
If your music is loud enough for you to stand in the yard and listen to it you're an asshole. I, myself, would, and have, take immediate, vociferous, and physical umbrage to any shitstain that inflicts their loud music on the neighborhood.
Once or twice of feeling and hearing that sub woofer bass makes anyone want to beat the living demons right out the person playing it. Even on the roads when I hear it I imagine having a grenade launcher or a LAW to blow them out of existence. Btw, you’re an ass if you play your music so loud your neighbors can hear it. That’s just bad manners. MadMarlin
Precisely this. Before 9? Keep your opinions of my music to yourself. After 9? Especially on a weeknight? Yeah, that shit is NOT ok. If you want to be playing your music loud in the middle of the night, you damn well better have at least a couple miles between you and the nearest neighbor.
My wife calls that the peeing theory. If you can take a piss off your front porch and nobody complains about it, it's a good place to live. Either the neighbors are far enough away, or they're the live and let live sort.
When I was finishing my degree at uni, I lived in some apartments where some young black men moved in across the breezeway, and insisted on sharing their rap music with me. Instead of saying anything to them, I opened my doors and windows, turned my stereo up full, and played one selection from a CD of bagpipe music. They shut their music down, and never again played loud enough for everyone else to hear it.
We have neighbors with a fondness for this. My wife calls them "the Louds". My son suggested we set speakers in the trees between the houses and play Gregorian chants at 0400 when I get up for work.
I, myself, would take immediate, vociferous, and quite possibly physical umbrage to anyone coming into my yard and *telling* me to turn my music down.

The context will define the justice of the act. 11:30pm on a weeknight and after repeated requests? 11:30am on a Saturday with no warning?

Two of my favorite audiophile quotes:
ReplyDelete"Music is like candy. To enjoy it the first thing you have to do is remove the rapper."
"My neighbors enjoy excellent music. Whether they like it or not."

How do you let a guy hit you with a cinder block? That's gotta be some slow-motion shit. You could sock him in head three times before it came around.

ReplyDeleteGregorian chants are sorta peaceful. The melodic screechings of Yoko Ono, on the other hand....
DeleteMusic's like a candy bar; only consumable once the wrapper is removed...
