This would be an "only in Berkeley" moment if we were still in Berkeley

We received a call last night at 11pm. And, since it was 11pm, decided to ignore it and continue with our puzzle pirating. When we checked a couple of hours later, we discovered it was from our downstairs neighbor/resident manager, asking us to turn down our radio, because it was vibrating terribly through the floor.

We just got a noise complaint because of NPR.

So I'm a little bemused, though sympathetic, since it wasn't soft exactly. But I'm left wondering whether what vibrated through the floor was the bouncy transition music, or the deep resounding voices of the male anchors. Bass boost was not enabled.

Soooo, will try to remember to turn down the music after 10pm on weeknights.

But dudes, NP scupperin'R

I've actually asked a neighbor to turn down NPR. In this case, her radio was up against her ceiling (our floor), and she had it turned up so that she could hear it on the other side of the house. (Plus I was home sick, and Carl Kasell isn't so soothing that he will lull me to sleep.)

But yeah, I agree. And now I have an image of the two of you rolling down the highway in a pimped-out Volvo, "All Things Considered" with bass boost thumping from the speakers...

That was in 1999, when we still had the Volvo, and it was the (ABC?) news segment from WCFM, but otherwise accurate.
