Default Upstairs neighbours playing bassy music - What do you do?

Goddammit.

This is the 3rd day in a row that the boys upstairs have played the same repetitive bassy music over and over and over for hours.

I wouldn't be overly upset if it was Hendrix or Led Zep, but no, it's Homey Crap (my definition of anything hip-hop like).

So. I am finally fighting back.

And the Wichita LIIIINEMAN!!!!! Is STILL ON THE LAH-LAH-LAH-LAH-LAH LAH-LAH-LAH-LAH-LAH-LIIIIIIIIINE!!

Over and over again.

(Weird...the poll got attached to the Jenna/Asia thread in nasty...)

Weird, when you vote it ends up in the Jenna/Asia thread too.

I had to click the "back" key to post a comment. *insert twilight zone music here*

I would just put my music on. Not so loud that it's obvious that you're trying to retaliate but enough to drown out their garbage and hopefully make them think about how loud their music is.

I'd just ask them to turn it down, they might not realise it is bothering you.

If that doesn't work I'd try playing my own music back real loud, something they wouldn't like.

And if that doesn't work I'd see if the coucil or building owners (body corp??) can do something about it.

Otherwise put up with it.

Oooh, if you don't have annoying music, try some really disturbing where-the-hell-did-you-get-that-and-why-music as such "Dance Magic Dance" from The Labyrinth and "The Neverending Story" that I recently heard at a party...

*WTF*

Have you tried playing "Painted flowers on the wall" (the Capt Kangaroo song) really loud at them to drive them insane and thus stop their music?

Isn't it funny how just reading something on a webpage can set a song playing in your head...and it won't stop?

Then think yourself very very lucky Penny. You don't want that song in your head, believe me.

Perhaps Trogg could PM the lyrics to you ... PLEASE Trogg don't post the lyrics up .... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

It can be found on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.

I think Trogg should post them. Just incase there is anyone else out there who does know!

Open the window and they will complain about the noise.
