No one wants to hear someone else's music. I doubt that anyone will be impressed except you.
Follow Ups:
you seem to think i intend to roll down the streets blasting it. that's not its purpose. it's intended for downtown cruising on club nights and events.
you're also quite WRONG about "everybody else". people, especially the ladies used to go nuts when i rode around with just my little saddlebag system. one busty milf even freaked on me (humped my leg basically) to my sharona downtown. another gorgeous hippy chick was loving disco tunes and dancing to them downtown until some jealous hater, much like yourself apparently, relentlessly panhandled her until she left. another woman jumped up and started dancing to "play that funky music" as i rode by on a bike path through a park... not far from where a large group of people danced to another woman's PA system rave.
women love to dance, and aren't generally the ones into gangsta crap. i've seen the same type thing here riding with the "loud bike" playing old school funk. people all over were loving it downtown. a couple riders, one with a cowbell, joined us. one guy ran into the street and started dancing at a stoplight while someone else hung out a car window whooping it up while someone else beep beep beeped sand a bunch of people cheered at the bus station as we rode by.
people are STARVING for upbeat dance music these days and i'm fighting against the gangsta crap, soulless techno and ESPECIALLY hell spawned heavy metal forces of evil. i won't go so far as to call banda evil, but it IS freakin' annoying.
any cruising i do will be at reasonable conversational levels. i'm not a fan of people blasting their music in residential areas either, but downtown, tailgate parties and public events are fair game for turning it up. people at events tend to congregate around even mediocre music or go somewhere else if they don't care for the music.
besides, loud music is part of the CULTURE in THIS TOWN. people are always bringing portable PAs to the 2 parks i live by and really cranking it up. a lot of stores have outdoor systems too. there's been more than one annoying after dark gangsta crap party right outside my window in the parking lot too.
i'm trying to fight negativity with positivity.
THIS is where i'm coming from:
Please stay off of my street. I don't want to hear it.
again... if i'm just cruising around or passing through a residential area to get to an event, you WON'T hear it unless you're on the sidewalk, or someone i pass wants to hear it burp, maybe.if you don't want to hear other people's music, then whatever you do, don't move here.
8am? hey, why not cut some wood?
10 am... the people 20 feet away in the next building like to play banda.
10pm... now the fun's REALLY starting! there's a chance for another gangsta crap car party in the parking lot, a live banda dance party at the garage about 50 yards from here, the banda club across the street's doors might be open, a couple of souped up pickups, rice rockets or motorcycles might be drag racing down the boulevard, someone might be getting shot in another bar's parking lot down the street and/or helicopters might be hovering directly overhead and shining spotlights in your windows, someone could be having a party in the park on the other side of the next building, there could be a concert level event at the other end of the park or at the fairgrounds on the other side of the road from that, OR freakin' monster trucks might be having an all night dragster motor revving party there.
that doesn't even include dogs yipping or howling at all hours of the night or my "favorite" the whiny little brat that has half hour momma's boy sobbing meltdowns at least once a week on average as late as midnight.
yeah... you would not like it HERE, and that's just THIS BLOCK.

I really wouldn't like it there, and I don't even want to visit.
i don't want to visit here either, but here i am
right outside my livingroom window
fun fun fun...
NOT!!!
Which town?
the one that i live in. that one.
Any good restaurants on your block?
well, there are several establishments that all produce at least acceptable food. one place has a really good deal on a big cup of french fries, but their chicken does nothing for me, their burgers are overpriced, and their "fish sandwiches" are basically a couple of so-so fish sticks with nasty, sickeningly sweet, miracle whip based "tartar sauce".everything close by, at least, closes by 9:30 here.
"in the hood" back east, i was within walking distance of a lot of delicious foods... a REAL fish restaurant that served super delicious (east coast only) HADDOCK sandwiches on real hard rolls (can't find those anywhere here) with delicious hellman's (aka best foods) mayonaise based tartar sauce, an italian bread bakery where i could get DELICIOUS fresh made loaves including extra tasty "twice baked" round loaves on sunday almost 24/7 (they've never heard of hard rolls or italian bread here), a corner store/sub-shop where i could get almost inch thick half subs with cappicola (another thing that's very hard to get on the west coast) that were more than enough to leave one full for $3.50 if memory serves me right, and a $5 full sub was too much to eat (compared to $5 for a couple pieces of meat here and at $ubway), the corner store just around the corner had THE BEST creamy hummus i've ever had ANYWHERE including restaurants and home made, and finally, just up the block, i could get big & cheap so-so slices of pizza (with pseudo-cafeteria crusts) and GRILLED hotwings. once you've had them grilled... fried doesn't make sense anymore. i really do miss the food at least back east.
back to local though... further up the street, there's a place where i can get pretty satisfying (as a meal) and delicious grilled chicken breasts for probably $3 now as prices have gone up. they used to be a very reasonable $2.50.
i CAN also get decent, if not best ever, reasonably priced, mexican food a few blocks away 24/7 and a couple blocks closer, there's a grocery store where i can get any steaks i buy grilled for free friday - sunday nights. i never even knew that for about 3 years, but it's a really good deal that's cheaper than restaurants.
i'd rate the local restaurants as OK, but there IS a pizza shop, way on the other side of town, that has REALLY good (medium thick NY style) slices that are pretty big for $5 including a drink.
i think the local food is on the expensive side here and not quite up to the standards of the foods that are both cheaper and more delicious back east, but i don't miss uppity self centered east coast culture much either.
now, pacific northwest? OK, you can't get decent SPICY food anywhere (someone could make a lot of money bucking that trend!), and foods are almost as overpriced as here, but the culture is very laid back, people respect the environment, and women are sooooo down to earth without the annoying social climbing east coast attitude which only relates to food if you're talking about a certain type of bearded clam.
so, the french fries, a little ways away are a good deal, the grilled chicken breast on the next block is a good deal and yummy (but less so after you eat it almost every day), & the grilled steaks at the grocery store about a quarter mile away are fair priced and tasty. most of everything else is overpriced and merely OK as far as i'm concerned.
oh yeah... there's ANOTHER chinese restaurant within a mile of here that's pretty good and reasonably priced on weekdays when you get lunch specials. their kung po chicken is really good and at around $6, i think, you get a full meal out of a lunch special.
there's a vietnamese/chinese food van on the other side of town that has a REALLY yummy spicy beef fried rice that will fill you up for just $5. up the street, there's yet ANOTHER chinese place that charges about $8 for beef fried rice. i ordered it twice there. the 1st time, it was DELICIOUS, though i wish they'd used onions, but the second time, it was only OK, on the dry side, and not worth $8, especially when i'm used to $4 pints of pretty much almost anything back east where there was this one place about a mile away that used to have THE BEST szechuan tofu! it was so delicious one time, it had me literally rocking and humming happily... a perfect balance of sweet, heat, heartiness, thick sauce and chewy/crunchy textured tofu.
the place right across the street has mediocre chinese food, but a cup of their hot and sour soup is just a couple bucks and CAN be quite tasty, but in the last 2 times i've ordered it, one time, i payed AND tipped only to be told they're out (made me quite angry even after the refund as it would be in bad form to take my $1 tip back) and the second time i ordered, the woman that served me skimped big time so there was really only one piece of tofu and a shred in it where there should have been at least a dozen chunks.
given cool enough temperatures, i'd rather cook my own food.
