Sonic fabric neckties are actually playable

The music may be horrible, but if you rub a tape head over these ties you can actually hear jumbled sound collages recorded from the NYC metro system. This is possible because the ties are 50 percent audio cassette tape.

If you have $90 to spend on one of the ties, and you are willing to sacrifice an old Walkman for the project, you can make this a fixture of your formal wardrobe. Of course, walking around with a broken Walkman asking every one to rub you with it is not recommended.

Why do we need a $90 novelty tie during a downed economy?

Yet another worthless article on Crave....and I thought the Sega Genesis $114 zippo lighter one was dumb...this one might take the cake.

it's not an expensive tie - it's a cheap work of functional conceptual art made by a pretty well-known artist.
