Eliana’s Advice: A chorus of questions

Dear Eliana, My neighbor is an aspiring DJ and likes to play his music loud so that I can hear it through the thin walls. The problem is, all of the remixes that he makes are terrible, and he plays them all the time. He is constantly replaying the same five-second clip to get it […]
