Last night, my neighbour was drunk and lonely and as usual, he comes around at 11:30 pm and is really hard to get rid of. I even talked about religion and he still wouldn't leave.
Well, I'm having a housewarming party on Saturday and he's coming. It's reminded me that I might need party clearing music. My copy of Minor Threat's "Complete Discography" and Captain Beefheart should be able to clear out most people, right?
What else should I put on the playlist to clear out the party?

Damn, this is going to be difficult.
Oh wait, I know. RRRecords 500, which is 500 lockgrooves, 250 on each side. Any one of them would work, some better than others.
PS Actually a really fucking awesome record
― Z S, Thursday, 1 May 2008 03:29 (seventeen years ago)
Jandek acapellas and RRR lock grooves OTM
also:
Diamanda Galas, "Blind Man's Cry" or "Wild Women With Steak Knives"
Zos Kia "Rape"
Merzbow
Whitehouse
Aimless' suggestion also good.

Diamanda would work a treat. Bless her.
Birthday Party - Prayers On Fire.
Or perhaps bad music is your key. Like Metallica's Some Kind of Monster. Or the Methods of Mayhem album. Rockstar Supernova? Surely Lukas could clear a room....

Or perhaps bad music is your key Never underestimate the probability of people actually liking music that is clearly awful.

Example: Foo Fighters "Times Like These"
Richard Marx's Repeat Offender album.
The name says it all!

this thread would be better if we cited irl examples of when people put on music at a party and killed it

strung-out cokehead @ party last semester who put on some shit from kid a
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 May 2008 05:30 (seventeen years ago)
still only know him as "radiohead kid"
These suggestions so far are almost entirely made up of assumptions that the people at your party are so boring as to run away as soon as any, um... 'challenging' music is put on. Why would you want to party with these people anyway? (Oh, right, you don't, that's why you're chasing them away! I still don't understand, gah.)

There's challenging music that is extremely enjoyable in the context of listening alone with headphones or whatever which just isn't party music. I like Squarepusher, but I'd get annoyed if someone put his stuff on at a party.
― chap, Friday, 2 May 2008 22:50 (seventeen years ago)
just yell at people if you want them to leave
why be passive-aggressive about it
