The apartment next door stood empty for a couple of months and I had this evil plan of discouraging potential tenants by playing music (with reasonable volume) and doing absurd things like letting the water run in the bathroom, both of which sound like earthquakes/trains due to the super-thin walls, but I was gone for a couple of weeks and when I came back, someone who plays death metal at eight in the morning had moved in. So now I'm engaged in an epic battle of Titus Andronicus / Foals / riot grrrl vs. death metal. I'm not sure if there'll ever be a winner.

and yes, the fact that there are bagpipes on The Monitor helps.
