or the classic teen party trick that i used to pull - as everyone used to
bring a favourite tape to parties (think mid 80's), and my selections
rapidly got banned -
the solution - record some 'acceptable' music onto a cassette at low volume
then half way through, some unacceptable music (my favourite at the time was
early einsturzende neubauten, or maybe some test dept) at max volume.
slip the tape in the deck, and sidle off to a different room, while in the
meantime someone else turns the volume up and gets the blame

heh heh...

or the other classic, recording music while jiggling the input connectors,
the result on playback - 'ere mate, sounds like your speakers are nackered'

ususally my very own abortive 'stars on 23' project just does the trick now
(richard x style plunderphonics circa 1999)
