Ven, that would break the Geneva Convention codes on Torture - and definately qualify as Cruel and Inhuman Punishment!

...seriously, if all that is hurt is a little dignity and forcing someone to put themselves in the shoes of their victim and actually consider what they did? i'm for it. ...

It seems like a good first measure in that it isn't excessively punitive ~ I rather do that than pay money or lose audio equipment.
I think it could help illustrate the point that loud music can intrude on other's privacy.
Although, I don't know about Barry Manilow; I'm not a fan, but I think I could rock it "Copa Cabana" style for an hour.

Well, I'm wondering if using those recorded works in the way the judge is violates the terms of use or copyright associated with the music... If it were my music, I'd demand royalties be paid. 


Yes, but then you would be admitting that your music was so bad, it was used as punishment...the more money you made, the worse you would feel about yourself and you would end up spending even more money for therapy. Better to ignore the whole thing and assume they are using someone elses stuff.

This is a very good point.  It would definitely have to be "early" Barry....Mandy, Trying To Get The Feeling Again, Weekend In New England, I Write The Songs.....an hour of that and they'll be begging for mercy.

And for those who love bagpipe music - rap!!!    actually, i thought the bagpipe music could have been considered "cruel and unusual punishment".

Barry Manilow is not harsh enough.  May I suggest totally tasteless music from the 80s?

Hello starshine

Those of you who remember that, I bet you wish you didn't about now.

Another one that might be good is Frank Zappa "The Best Band You Never Heard". It is actually a very professionally done work, but they purposely chose the wrong note at the wrong time. Totally dischordant. That one might be better for the middle of the night band practicers, rather than the rappers or whatever. Manilow should work for the rappers.

Of course they could always tie a guy down with probes all over and find out from physiological responses what he hates the most. Seems like shades of Clockwork Orange, but then again,,,,,,,,,, it is.

even though it doesn't sound like it - i really enjoy bagpipes - especially the war pipes. But for the sake of sanity, they need to be played out of doors!

Frankly, being forced to listen to music I didn't like for an hour would be barely an annoyance, and certainly not as effective in preventing a repeat offense as a fine or jail time. It just turns the criminal justice system into a farce. Maybe he should try teaching Kindergarten for a while instead of sitting on the bench.

I knew someone would say that. =P

It should have it as a goal at least.

(Or maybe I just have a higher tolerance than most for annoying music!)
