Ah, the corporate day job–bane of musicians everywhere. Fortunately, the rock star confined to an office from 9 to 5 need not sacrifice his commitment to music. These cleverly customized ties are made from 50% recycled cassette tapes! The other 50% of “sonic fabric” is boring old cotton, but it’s the knowledge that you’re wearing an album that counts. Designers Alyce Santoro and Julio Cesar prerecord the tapes with experimental sound collages, but if anyone asks, you can pretend yours was made specifically to promote your music.
You can recycle an old Walkman to produce a tape-head-based “reader” for your necktie that actually makes sound, too–check out this informative clip. Sony should pick this up and run it as a promotional video to position themselves as eco-friendly–there must be millions of unused Walkmen languishing untouched and unloved, destined for the trash bin.
