[QUOTE="Spektral, post: 918162, member: 49767"] :| I find that situation astonishing. Is it a separate building or the same house split into separate living rooms? In terms of being restricted on even talking....Are you secretly Brian Blessed? How can you possibly live with such restraints? Okay, I wouldn't want to live in a flat above Brian Blessed hosting donk nights and MC'ing all the time - where the walls are vibrating and a thud, thud thud envelops the place with a "biddy biddy bad boy, go to the flow, flow you know, here we go" commentary from Brian after midnight... but was it this bad and enough for him to be able to bully you into such silence? I can only assume the living quarters are wafer thin and that you can't even fart without him banging on the floor, in which case, I can only hope that you can find somewhere else to live someday, where you can be more true to yourself. That's a tough one. There's not much you can do to change other people's preferences for music. The piano and Italo scene between 1990 and 1993 has always been the most dominant one from the heydays in my opinion. It's like a comfort blanket, people tend to like the things they know and things that sound like the things they know. I used to listen to a bit of Eurodance back in the day, even some of the more cheesy end of the Zone stuff, or sometimes even a bit of Moz Morris on his old radio show from the mid 90's, which was some peculiar area between Italo Zone stuff, hard house, Hi-Nrg.
