Won't You Stop Being My Neighbor?

Dec 16, 2006 22:29

Right now my downstairs neighbor is blasting Christmas music, and singing along very loudly and VERY off-key. And it's obvious that she thinks she's a good singer. She does that thing with her voice... what the fuck is it called... that Whitney Houston does really well? Some singers do it when they sing the Star-Spangled Banner to make it sound ( Read more... )

Tremolo is the term for that I think. And it's so overdone. It's time for you to blast something decidedly non-Christmasy in retaliation.

"That thing" is melisma.

I have a similar neighbor. I work at night, and around 2 or 3PM, she likes to play the White Stripes on her cheap sub-woofer. She has made my life hell, despite complaints to the property manager. Her bedroom is against my wall, and I think her desk is against the wall my bed is against. I do *not* have a cheap sub-woofer. I have an Altec 5.1 surround sound system with a powered sub, an Audigy Platinum ZS, and I'm generally up from 6PM until around 7 or 8AM. I know for a fact that she generally goes to bed around 3AM every morning. My lease is up February 1. My roommate is going to be out of town a lot during January. I'm going to spend that month cranking it up around 5AM every morning. I have a nice collection of hard hitting techno.
