For my second post, we have something that'll probably appeal only to a very limited amount of people. Yes, it's simply a selection of Beatles tunes backwards. I can see how folks could consider this pretty much unlistenable, but to me many backwards Beatles songs are an enjoyable listening experience, almost becoming an all-new Beatles record! What's to stop anyone from taking their own records and reversing them using some cheap audio softwhere? Nothing (in fact I'm only slightly surprised no one's released a crappy set of bootlegs called "Backwards-ology" or something), but I've already done it for you.

A shockingly good idea, and you're totally right about the curious lack of some kind of bootleg series along these lines. Hell, why not? I know that I sure as hell spent hours doing this manually w/ a turntable & a cassette deck as a kid (& then again years later once I scored a 4-track).
Y'know, I've actually often thought to myself that I ought to play every song I've ever written backwards & then just learn them that way (imagining that this would yield me a new round of tunes w/ minimal effort, w/ the added bonus that they'd already sound kinda like "me"), but it's one of those ideas that has never gotten enough of my mental traction to actually do. Maybe today I'l get inspired enough to give it a shot.
A similarly 'interesting idea' that I've stumbled across is
Using AcidPro (or similar multitrack wave edit prog)
assembling an ENTIRE ALBUM, say Sgt Pepper or Dark Side of the Moon, so that you hear every track simultaneously!
Yep! hear the whole record in as long as the longest track takes to play.
It's a total cacophonous mess but it saves so much time!
You have fun picking out bits of songs amongst the noise.
Marvel at the insane explosion of sound created.
Can you please do a re-post/new link?
thanks!
