That's so funny! I don't know much Nickelback, but I do remember hearing a song or two on the radio some years back, and I liked one of them. What's so wrong with that band? I've heard Nickelback hate before, and I'm curious what started it. Maybe time for a Google search.  That didn't take long: www.businessinsider.com/heres-why-everyone-hates-nickelback-2016-4This is an analysis done by a PhD student in Finland who looked at reviews of the band. Hey, before I quote the article, and before you read the article, why don't you all guess what it's going to say? |

I never got the hate on Nickleback. I like a few of their songs. They're hardly my favorite.
And what if the person they arrest is a big fan? Aren't you just irritating the cops? They have to listen to this stuff over and over again.

Pfffft. Nickleback. Big Whoop. And this is nothing new. And it's already passed muster in the US. If you really want to drive people up the wall, you need to take some advice from the FBI and develop a playlist. I do agree with one thing, though. Barry Manilow would be excessive force. |

I could tolerate Barry Manilow over Rod Stewart's raspy voice any day.

I love police departments with a sense of humor and the best I've come across is Aspen PD, in Colorado. If you're on Facebook and not following them, rethink that. Perhaps ironically, their chief is a super serious (but very sweet) guy who's not the funniest dude in the world. I know 'cos he's my brother. Anyway, I contacted them about this issue, and they've responded: www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=aspen%20police%20department |

For the record, Manilow rocks!

One of my across-the-courtyard neighbors is fond of blasting autotuned nightmare music. Since it isn't from my building and it's not clear what apartment it comes from, I cannot ask them to turn it down. (Though I and a few others occasionally relieve our feelings by bellowing "TURN THAT SHIT DOWN!" out the window.)
Anyway, I've considered retaliating by blasting some of my music out the window. But I cannot decide what might annoy them more -- stuff from my classical and jazz collections, or e.g , some Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails, Pixies, Hole, Beastie Boys...
I'm guessing the classical/jazz choice would go over better with the rest of my neighbors.

Personally, I'd go with "Walk Like an Egyptian" on a loop.

Well, I'd want to blast something that I personally like, yet know is absolutely not to the taste of all -- and that would be particularly geared to annoy my autotune-favoring neighbors.
Walk Like an Egyptian or Mongolian throat singing might drive me crazy before it drove them crazy. I could only crank that just before leaving the apartment for the day. Whereas I could happily crank Tom Waits up and listen all damn day.
But yeah -- I know it would drive many insane.

Walk Like an Egyptian or Mongolian throat singing might drive me crazy before it drove them crazy. Goofball. You start blasting it on a loop when you know they're home, then leave for a couple of days. |
