Don't ask them to shut up; it's rude.
Keep yourself occupied, look uninterested, unapproachable.
But, on other occasions talk to them as you normally should, and maintain your friendship. Roommates are an important part of life. Do not leave a bad impression.
You hate the constant boring stories, not the person, and that message they should pick up eventually.
Use your body language.
Folded arms, blank look on your face etc. are examples.

You have a lot of interesting stories to share, and sometimes I like them, but I'm normally more interested in listening to music (and other things) and to just sit back and relax, so I hope you don't mind if I get back to my music (or something).
And make sure you're not coming off as harsh when you say this.
I've lived in hostels in India, and shared apartments in Dubai. My roommates were great. Nevertheless, I get the idea.
