two from WFMU

Two great posts on WFMU's Beware of the Blog:

First, someone went and took a sound file of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," made it play backward, chopped it up into (they claim) 666 little hunks and then re-ordered the hunks so that even though they are each playing backwards, they are in the right order. It makes me feel like I'm underwater somehow. The mp3 is here.

Second, they have a great post on a band called Schlong. (oh boy. I'll be getting the interesting Google search hits now.) Ages ago, I picked up their "drunk punk" version of West Side Story - a piece of pure demented brilliance.
