Someone moved a damn PIANO into our apartment building this weekend and it sounds like I'm living in a damn funeral parlor on Bizarro World!

Add to this the guy who likes to keep his windows open in winter and PLAY HIS BANJO WHILE SINGING FOLK MUSIC...BADLY!!!!...and i've got a real cavalcade of talent on my hands.

I think it's time for me to take up cowbell.

If you start singing obnoxiously on a regular basis, I think that oughta scare 'em away.

Or who knows...they might ask you to form a band.

actually, the mariah carey fan across the hall from me who thinks he's justin timberlake already has that position filled.

You could start throwing things out your window as percussion.

GangstaFam said:

we do have people who scream "shut up" and "turn that shit down" every now and again. when the drunken eurythmics tribute act started at midnight last week, i even joined in with the heckling.

Anx said:

Wait a minute. What's that all about? That actually sounds like it could be fun.

you got a fever!

and the only prescription for it is.....MORE COWBELL.!

yeah man...EXPLORE THE SPACE!

could be worse, they could be learing the drums.

have you thought about taking up the harpsichord or tuba?

Or something really eerie and freakish like the theramin. Maybe folks will think the building is haunted and move. You'll have the place to yourself!

Anx said:

Do u live in Hyde Park?

do you have any people singing, "zuh zuh zuh"?

I'm so sorry, baby.

now someone is rehearsing a bass line for "9 to 5" over and over and OVER again. what the hell, is my apartment a hootenanny halfway house now?

GangstaFam said:

not at midnight it isn't! in your case, imagine it's 11am and someone starts singing annie lennox BADLY while you're just trying to get to bed.

Anx said:

Anx said:

Please! I'm not that bad.

And I'll have you know that I've been getting up in the AM for over a week now!

Are you trying to say that you don't fit in, Anx?

Sounds like the place my friend lived at on the north side of Chicago called "Artist In Residence".

i have an acoustic guitar in my closet and i'm not afraid to use it!

GangstaFam said:

i have a friend whose husband has an art studio in a place like that...of course, the layout is such that the musicians and the fine artists don't bug each other very much...plus, it's properly soundproofed. and the musicians who live there are, like, GOOD.

Anx said:

Anx said:

Yeah, my friend is very good and from my many visits, it sounded like everyone else was too. Plus, there was a curfew of sorts for "out loud" playing.

Anx said:

You do?! Do you play?

lakeview.

and this morning i saw some meth freak looking guy walking around in the cold in a white undershirt, carrying around a guitar draped in a dirty burberry scarf. it's probably that ass-triangle who's making me crazy with the dolly parton party right now.

Anx said:

The hell?

GangstaFam said:

i can't even concentrate enough to cuss correctly!

Anx said:

Will complaining to the apartment manager help? unless he/she is in cahoots

luv4u said:

well, my landlord's name is rueben kincaid, so i might be kind of screwed.

GangstaFam said:
