Our neighbors fought a lot. Usually at around 2am and it would go on for about an hour or two. Besides being angry and annoyed, my girlfriend and I were always curious as to what they could possibly be fighting about. I had the idea to record them via a long mic cable stretching down the hallway, strategically hidden behind a few pieces of wood, to their apartment door. My plan was to one day play this from my stereo at a loud volume around 2am. As I later thought this through I realized that this would only disturb my other quiet neighbors and was a fairly selfish act. Anyway, I used a $100 audio-technica stereo mic and recorded it directly into my computer as an .aiff. They seem to be arguing about a stereo and someone not loving the other. It's rather sad. We no longer live in that building so I have no idea what became of them. I hope they are happier now. Enjoy.

Thank you so much for this, the emotion in it really helps the sound of my track. :) Will post if/when it ever gets done.

Excellent! I may use a snippet on an audio book that I am producing, The Price of Beauty In Strawberry Land by Gerald Darnell, that will be distributed on Amazon.com and Audible.com.

This is great, maybe partly due to the fact that it's morally not quite permissable :-) I'm considering using (a small part of) this as a real life intro for the song Why You Treat me So Bad on our new cd.
