Ah yes, the volume issue
Che Grimsdale has reminded me... I reckon there are some kinds of music which need to be played loud. I think it was Socrates who said, "You don't play Heavy Metal with Dobly".* But I've noticed that Mrs Moon Monkey seems to develop a headache whenever I'm in the mood for some raucous nonsense, so I'm forced to keep it down to the point where sometimes I just turn it off as a lost cause.

Conversely, when she's in the mood, she'll whack the volume up so far that the music is distorted to hell, which drives me mad. Being tone-deaf, she doesn't notice that it sounds like a dalek being buggered by a jar full of wasps.



* It may possibly have been someone else

Ah yes,
Maybe they're related?

When Mrs G goes on an - admittedly VERY rare - bender, she loves to play music at 'Eleven' without a thought to neighbours, or me. Stuff like Joan Armatrading's Love and Affection.

And yet, if she's watching telly and I'm reading a book with my iPod on, she'll ask ME to 'turn it down' because she can hear it!!

so if you turn Einstürzende Neubauten up too loud
does the distortion make it sound nice?

Got to be quote of the year! Laughed my balls off; work colleagues don't seem to understand me though.

*sigh*
