Who's been playing that damn song OVER and OVER?!?

Elton John? Wow, how times change!

Jack-

I also miss the days of Tupac and Notorious BIG.

AW, lets blast Enya!

By request for psycho-ologist

nr5597 - do you live on bedford between park and prospect, on the east side? if so, then... you blasting your NPR constantly is totally NOT funny.

someone in a building at that location blasts NPR from about 11 pm to about 8 am about 5 nights a week. its been going on for about 2 years... i live behind the building and can hear it from across the two yards. Ive done everything from filing numerous noise complaints with the city to standing outside the building to talk to fellow tenants (who also know there is a loser in their building disturbing everyone's sleep). yet it continues...

SO if this is you, you must stop. it's totally not funny, uncool and beyond disrespectful.

And, if it isnt you... then im sure that there are still neighbors that are bothered by your blasting talk radio. get a life and show some respect to those that have to get a good nights sleep so they can get up and go to work to pay the rent.

Ummm what is NPR? The Elton John thing is hilarious though. I cannot imagine who would listen to Elton in this neck of the woods. Nice change of pace. Kudos to them. Oh yeah I do know that song. Maybe they are trying to prove the point that they sacrificed their sanity to live in this hellish hood.

You don't know what NPR is?

Heightsie, I don't live in that area. I guess "blast" was the wrong term to use...I had no idea this was actually an issue. At least you're well-informed? </silver lining>

The only thing occasionally blasted in my building is bachata, but it just inspired me to teach myself salsa dancing. NYC assimilation at its best?

Salix-

Did you learn how to dance to Chinese opera?

Whynot, PH ain't much better. Over the past few years, I have been hearing more Led Zeppelin, Doors and Beach Boys from passing cars. I wouldn't be surprised if CBS 101 broadcasts live from here one day.

"Ummm what is NPR?"

It appears that the intellectual leanings of this latest crop of incoming gentry is different than I had expected and hoped for. Therefore, I have now deemed it a rule that any incoming gentrifying force must be reasonably well versed in NPR programming. (And FYI, Car Talk, though entertaining, doesn't count.)

Please, for the love of all things holy, at least listen to an episode or two of This American Life before living in my hood. Even my kids get podcasts of npr...What is Crown Heights coming to people? [-oB

I just moved into Crown Heights after 8 years in Prospect Heights, and you should be relieved to know, nearnostrand, that I live up to your requirements of being an avid NPR listener. I recently got through the entire archive of This American Life, and now I'm just not sure how I'll ever clean the apt. again. Listen to the whole archive over again I suppose.

On Sunday, in the direction of St. Johns pl. someone was playing Cher's If I could turn back time, loudly, over and over again. After a few hours of that the person switched to Celine Dion. Forget Crown Heights, what is NYC coming to?

Heightsie, I believe we can eliminate at least one poster from our list of NPR suspects.

....but seriously, people are blasting Elton John and NPR in Crown Heights!?

I'm glad I pay extra to live in Prospect Heights to be away from that nonsense. Over here in the "better neighborhood", all I have to complain about is my neighbor who blasts gospel. It's like living next to the Brooklyn Tabernacle choir.

Im glad someone is blasting gospel music next to you whynot
