Word.
I'm not asking next door, that's the Eastenders flat where he knocks her around on occasional weekends... next door but one have a newborn who is likely to be an opera singer one of these days judging by his lung power. The former flatmate told his parents he looks stoned.

Oh they sound like an episode of Eastenders when they get going.
LET ME IN BABE I'M SORRY
NO FUCK OFF YOU'LL HIT ME AGAIN
NO I WON'T I PROMISE I WON'T
(etc)

I'm currently wishing I had 5.1 speakers because my 2.1 ones are not doing Rilo justice.

Fucking love them.
I saw them twice a couple of years ago when they were touring... front row both times. Jenny Lewis is ridiculously beautiful up close.

I've seen em too. She's a darling.
Did you see her tour with those twins? They gave out a song sheet! It was ace.

No I didn't :( couldn't afford it if I remember rightly.
They had Ewen McGuinness supporting them the first time and he was pretty good, and the second time Grand Ole Party who I wasn't overly fond of.

Ebay
Get a good pair of Logitechs. Although, if it's volume youre after, a good power set of 2.1 will knock the crap out of any cheap 5.1s. Or, find yourself a theatrey friend who knows their sound kit and get them to build you one - had a mate back home who did it and had something stupid like 200w per channel, and a 1.2k sub. Sounded fantastic, but he said he wanted something bigger, but didn't want to run so much power through the mains.

I've had a couple of techy friends in my time
including one who keeps telling me to come and visit him and his Mrs (they came to see me and then-Flatmate a couple of months ago) so I may raid his kit.

I like the idea of subjecting the neighbours to extremely loud Guns N' Roses.
