I sometimes do that on selected songs. It’s just for bass really, but they’re probably crappy earphones if everyone else can hear it, because it doesnt happen in mine.
Anyway, off topic now.
Then don’t be surprised if at anytime I throw objects at you when you’re playing your music so load in my vicinity :p

I hate folk who play their music so load that all you can hear is the tiny after effects of the music coming from their headphones.
There really is no need for that.

I wouldnt worry tooo much about whats on your eye-pod!! – it reads to me like there is a bit more to this.
If i have read it right, then the cabbie dobbed this guy in because of the lyrics of the music he was playing, right ?
QED – this guy is a nob-head who was playing his music LOUDLY and thereby p***sing everybody off.
Coz if it had been thru normal earphones at normal levels, then how would anyone know what he was listening to ?
Just my 2 peneth worth

Be careful what music you listen to whilst on the plane – you may be arrested!
Passenger thrown off plane for choice of music
A British man has been expelled from a plane and interrogated under the Terrorism Act after a taxi driver’s suspicion was aroused by his choice of music.
Harraj Mann, who was able to play his own music on the taxi ride to the airport, was slightly bemused by the whole affair.Mann had played Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song, which contained the lyrics “The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands” and The Clash’s London Calling, which had the lyrics “War is declared, and battle come down”.
“I was laughing about it, but all my mates are absolutely furious. It’s just left me bemused. I can agree that there’s a culture of fear. They acted on the information they had. I’m just frustrated that it happened to me. It’s a mystery,” Mann said.
And ther’s me last week listening to Iron Maiden’s “Bring your daughter to the Slaughter” from London to Manchester 😀
