She complained during the day too, but the landlord came over to my place and listened and basically told to f*** off during the day because the music's not loud. Also, been digitizing/burning to CD all of my cassettes and vinyl and making jewel cases for them... Listening to albums I've not been able to play in years... | |

I don't know whether they're doing the same thing in Oregon now that Hova and Belinda live there. Their kid is a bit older now too so maybe the radio thing has taken a backseat to bringing up baby. |
