And it has been under our noses for years. I have recently (about 40 minutes ago) been exposed to an entirely new radiohead experience, called Kid 17. The theory goes like this, you play Kid A and 17 seconds later, you play a second copy of the album. For most of the songs (i am only on treefingers, track 5 out of 10) the second copy syncs up perfectly in rhthym and tempo, creating new climaxes, sounds and effects (such as echos, as heard on how to disappear completely).
I am not sure who found this or how they stumbled upon it, but unlike playing records backwards, no one can misinterpret this. the songs just work.
The only question i have is whether it was intentionally done by radiohead (i, for one would not put this past them). one argument for the intentional argument is that "in limbo" does not sync properly. If you interpret in limbo as meaning "not belonging" or "in between", then this is evidence that radiohead intentionally did this, as if they wished for this hidden playback method to be discovered (or leaked) and thus had to offer an explanation for why one song did not work.
conspiracy theory or not, its damned cool to listen to.
now on methods of accomplishing this. use quicktime, open multiple windows at once and open the same song twice. or, read up on it on a website called jersey mike. (google is your friend)
