I have or should now say had a friend who didn't leave until 4 or 5am in the morning when putting on albums at my place for listening sessions.
Luckily I got into a fight with the mofo, so we're not hanging out anymore. But any advice for getting rid of company while still trying to be nice would be appreciated.
I've tried "ok, time to go" and "I'm really tired". I even went to sleep and the dude was still there. While this is not a problem anymore, just looking for hints for the future.

I'm going to bed now, time for you to find somewhere else to go ! Simple as that.
Tell him point blank to come back when he cant stay so long
Wouldn't real Americans revert to some kind of firearm?

Real Americans use arrows and tomahawks, or so I'm told.

"If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future."
How bout, "I'am going to bed now, get out!"
Ok, Your worried hurting there feelings, "I'am going to bed now, you may leave." & hold the door open for them.
Now if your all pie faced, well that's a whole different situation. turn off the stereo, give him a blanket & point to the couch.
Good night.
... Play them Jonathan and Darlene Edwards. Works every time, and they released seven albums over four decades, so there's lots to pick from.

Second side of Kind of Blue played after midnight will put anyone to sleep who isn't under the influence of methamphetamines, IME.
I love that album, just saying it seems to have effect on my guests.
You HAD to bring that up, didn't you? ;) I'm working on transcribing Kind Of Blue right now, and the second side has a couple of 'skips' which I'll need to repair in the file! Grrr.

My favorite is Die Fahne hoch -- AKA the Horst Wessel Lied.
And stomp on it two dozen times. Then, hand him the pieces and ask for the next album he'd like to hear.
...ok, it's getting late. Any request for a last song?Sorry, that's it - as you shut down the system.
They can't take advantage of you if you don't let them.

Had a friend over once to listen to my new MLs.
He brought his wife, who wouldn't STFU. "NORM! What are you trying to hear? NORM! What are you listening for??" and on and on .
My wife KNEW I wanted to kill the visiting bitch, and found my discomfort highly amusing.
Neither he nor his shrew have been back since. Or ever will again.
Reminds me when someone comes over and the ole lady sez I cant hear the difference between this and the panasonic table radio we have.............
... On a few occasions I have gone to bed happily leaving guests listening to music.
If I wanted a person to leave I would simple ask them to leave, it does not get any simpler.
You don't need hints, you need a reality check.
Cheers.

Once you ask someone to leave they become a trespasser. Physical deadly force is an appropriate response to even trespassing in this state. Claim the dude became threatening or was drunk and it becomes a no brainer.
Might take a couple of days to sort it out - but you won't need to worry about that dude hanging round no more.

It's not what I do it's what the State of Arizona empowers it's citizens to do. People need to know these kinds of thing - not so they can kill someone but so they know they can be killed. People need to be careful - bad people know the law far better than the innocent and naive.

Perhaps you could play "Speed the Parting Guest."

That's a sure way to encourage people to hang around after they have worn out their welcome!
"Wow, I can't believe it's this late! While we had a good time, I REALLY have to get to bed! Feel free to crash on the couch if you need to and just lock the door on your way out. Good night." And turn the stereo off.

The best listening takes place between mid-night and 6am.
Were alcohol or drugs involved?
of course not, I have morals!
What have morals got to do with this? I was talking about your guest. Following your digression for a moment then: did your guest have morals?
he's constantly stoned. It has been getting on my nerves. I guess maybe he didn't know what time it was?
as for the fight, we've been ignoring each other. more of like a homo fight than fisticuffs to put it bluntly.
tennis club I belong to the other day. I was off on vacation and f'n missed it. Allegedly a lot of F, C, and B Bombs were dropped as well. From what I hear one of em's gonna lost their job. That's a shame, they're both classy gals.

All hot women are hot. It goes without saying - it's actually redundant.
Back to your ex-bud... The appropriate phrase would be: "You gotta go. I'm done."

I guess it was around midnite when he picked up an LP by Aphrodite's Child, called 666 and said, I play this when people stay too late, he then put it on. The opening was execrable. Had I not taken the hint I probably would have run out screaming 5 minutes later. Oddly enuf, I found this LP at a garage sale a few months later, brought it home, cued it up, and it was totally without merit (altho some proggers have disagreed with this assessment). Bombastic would be an understatement.

Put on Herbie Hancock Sextant, or my new favorite, Archie Shepp Kwanza.
Sure worked with the in-laws.

May I suggest anything by Anthony Braxton?
