The fun continues on the noisy room front. We've an iPod dock which has effectively been sequestered by an admin lady. Currently she has some LP by Beyonce ( ) wailing consecutively about how her man done her wrong, how she is sad about her man leaving her and how she is strong and going to dump her man because he cheated on her and how she is still strong. Given the rate she is getting through men I think she should be trying to figure out what is wrong with her than blaming her malefolk, which she does apparently.
I'm thinking about asking for a rule where we either agree the music (which would effectively hit an impasse), or we all get a turn a choosing music. I have a few lined up already:
The Ascension (Messiaen)[^]
Incantation (Langlais)[^]
Appareation of the Eternal Church (Messiaen)[^]
I'll happily listen to these until the cows come home. The interesting thing about organ music is that practically no-one likes it, its hard to block out (seriously, we had some heavy-metalists who would play their music way too loud at night while I was at uni, blast this stuff out and they came and complained) and there is a huge quantity of loud discordant stuff.

May I suggest playing this[^] on a loop?

If you can time yourself to the applause, it would have great comedic effect - say, passing wind loudly and then the audience goes wild.

I do applaud myself if it's particularly gigglesome I must admit.

Get up and dance (I'm sure I don't have to tell you to dance badly).
When someone says something say that music is made for dancing to and you just cannot fight the boogie.

I can't, I'm from the North, not a woman and not drunk.
Wait a minute I can fix the last! Nagy, pass the gin please.

I would never dance in public for much the same reasons, although I am not from the North*
I have started dancing at home for the dog though, the way he sits and looks at me with an extreme puzzled face keeps me amused for ages, and he never seems to tire of sitting there looking at me as if I am a massive twat**

** not sure that is something I should have written on a public place.

I've never heard of using organ music in acoustic warfare; but know that shrieking pipes can't be blocked by thumping bass from a huge sub-woofer.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Way back when I was living in the army barracks, we used to have stereo wars. My setup was a couple of onstage guitar amps(one for regular guitar and one for bass, both very high power) wired with a little boombox.
After listening to a fair amount of time to things like reggae music, I would get tired of it.
My cure would be to put in Hank Williams(senior not junior, you know, the old tear jerker stuff) crank things to max and leave the room for a few minutes(could not stand being in the room at full volume.)
Upon my return and shutting off the box, it would always be silent, at which point I would play MC Hammer's "Can't touch this" with the bass cranked up very high..
Then I would go back to normal levels of music and would not have any more problems until the next weekend when some drunken idiot would forget that my amps would completely obliterate any of their stereo systems....
There was a time or two that somebody downstairs(I was on second floor) would tell me that I vibrated a picture off of their walls.
Just for the record, I don't like Hank Williams or MC Hammer and never did. the first was just because nobody else could stand him either, and the second was for thumbing my nose at them once I blasted them into obedience. 
Treat stressful situations like a dog, if you can't eat it, play with it or screw it, then just piss on it and walk away.
Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.

Can you just answer this question...
How many people do you currently have in your dungeon?

About 10, the room is about two-thirds full so I expect that to rise to 15.
