Have you ever lived next to a neighbor who always had an interesting soundtrack or audio that you could always hear and actually appreciated have them as an free input source nearby?

Lived downstairs from a couple who were in a chamber orchestra - he was cello, she was violin. They apologised, but I LOVED my morning recital, even if it was only part of the full score.

I had neighbors who were deaf but their kids could hear perfectly fine. I kept having to tell them to turn down the damn music.

"Look, I'm not going to rat you out to your parents or anything, just turn it down a little, OK?"

Not... directly.

About a decade ago, I lived in a very small area, maybe half a mile in radius, with a pirate radio station, always playing amazing stuff I'd never heard anywhere before, ranging from soul to jazz to classical to electronica.

I had my suspicion that a nearby bodega owner was operating it. We'd talk about the station and its songs, and he seemed to know much more about it than anyone else in the neighborhood, but would always divert the conversation back to anonymous, general praise for what it played whenever I would indicate personal praise for whoever was running it.

Making this situation even more ridiculous was that this station's broadcast circumference overlapped with a fairly large airport.

Pretty sure if whoever was running it ever got caught they'd be looking at massive fines and/or prison time.

No, but I have a neighbor (who is otherwise a recluse) who has been noticed mowing his lawn at three in the morning, also while not wearing anything.

Not exactly what you're asking, but kinda related..

I had a neighbor who was renting and before he left he called me over one afternoon as I was walking back from school.

He mentioned he'd seen me moving my PC in and out (it was around 2001/2002 and I was lanning constantly) and he offered me two UPS's (both fucked) and about 8 mp3 cd's.

I took it all, tested a few tracks and wasn't interested at first. Then I hit one track that caught me, and I figured if there was one good track, there must be more.

I ripped them all and gave the disks back to him the same afternoon.

It was all triphop. DJ shadow, nightmares on wax, irresistible force, Herbaliser, DJ food, Tosca, and so many more.

One of the best choices I ever made.

Peace to that stoner dude man, I didn't even get his name.

Yes there’s an older hippy guy neighbor that played the best classic rock and jams all day every weekend and I was sad when lost that

No, even if my neighbor had musical taste that perfectly matched my own it'd be disturbing.

Kind of. I used to l8ve in apartment where this garage band used the downstairs public space as practice room. When I was on the shitter at the right times I could clearly hear them through the vent. A pretty nice song, I think it was their own.

No, but I’m sure my neighbour does

No, I only have had very annoying loud neighbour's.

My roomate is a dj so i get all the sets early kinda good study music ngl

Yeah, a roommate of mine who was a crazy awful bitch but she had EXCELLENT taste in music.

One time she decided to punish us for god knows what slight by playing really absurdly loud music. Kinda backfired because when she finally stopped I texted her asking her to turn it back on.

I used to live next to a dude who was in a band or something and he was always practicing various instruments in his garage. He was pretty good, too. But I never heard the whole band or any complete songs. Just the guitar or just the drums or just keyboard. Would hang out on my lawn just to listen better.
