I had debated posting about this since it happened since, without some tangible proof, I'm sure it's about as interesting as someone explaining the dream they just had. But I'm bored, sorry.
I was driving between cities a few weeks ago and as I neared the signal limit of the station I had on, I began to get another radio station crossing over onto it. I suppose there must have been two stations using the same frequency and I was in the sweet spot that was in range of both. Well, the song I was listening to was Silly Love Songs by Wings and I'm not sure what track it was that crossed over but it was some dancey thing. The resultant mix was something that would have done earthleakage proud. I wish I had had a way to record it because the bpm of both songs lined up perfectly and what I got was a fading/white-noisey Silly Love Songs with a neat blend of rhythms. I've always liked the drums in that song but hearing it this way blew me away.
Have any of you experienced anything like this?

The other day at the pub I work in they had the same song (lady gaga's poker face) on in the front bar stereo and on the back bar jukebox on a seperate system. The bar being inbetween both I could hear both, with a 30 second difference between them, and it made me feel ill

No, but occasionally the local Classical radio station plays CDs that skip. Sometimes the CD will continue skipping for a few minutes, jumping to different parts of the piece of music or getting stuck on a stuttering, repetition of half a second of music, like a sample in popular music or electronic music. I've heard at least a continuous two minutes of re-imagined Classical music that would put to shame any cut-and-paste electronic musicians out now or ever. And all by chance and lazy radio technicians.

I've had a similar thing before when I had a power cut and all the radio stations were lost but I didn't realize for ages I thought "I thought Fuck Me what is this!" and started to record it. I felt it for for waayy too long before I realized.

haha :D
nothing to do with radio, but back in the days, 2003 i believe, i was in Bern Switzerland with a friend. We bought some pot and walked around in the old town while very baked, and there came live music from inside a bar or some place so we went in… there it was, a really amazing free jazz orchestra playing the most mad brilliant avant-garde music, for free, in Bern, by chance! We were sitting there with big grins admiring the experience… then they stopped tuning their instruments… and started playing lame big band crap.

I just remembered another time when I was driving past a factory of some kind that produced a very beat like sound from working machinery, very loud. I was listening to the local Classical radio station again and they were playing a Scriabin piano piece I think. Both sounds meshed together incredibly well. As I drove farther away the Doppler effected sound of the factory matched the end of the piece with its long sustained ending chord. Both music and factory disappearing into nothing nearly at the same time.

Ha ha. That sums up so much music in general. Whether you meant to or not.

Haha! It's the same chapter! I was properly feeling it! I'm sure I whispered 'fuck' a few times whilst pulling daft faces.

Was it sort of a white-noise effect, then? Or were there still bits of the stations coming through?

Haha. I've had that same sensation. Listening to a group of classical musicians tune their instruments can really sound interesting sometimes.

That's very cool, and well close to the radio station thing I experienced.

It'd lost all the FM/AM/MW/SW information as well as the frequency so it was intermittent blips with noise bursts and Ring modulating things with deep pulses. Even though I felt like a complete knob when I realized I did enjoy it for those 20 minutes.

Haha. That's cool, though! I'm sure I would have been into it, anyway. I love when something unexpected happens with electronics and we get to hear the result.

On the contrary I was referencing those pop song remixes with the electronic beats that someone posted on here and that you and I both enjoyed. I thought of you when I heard this mix on the radio, is all. Glad I brought you out of the shadows, though. :D

srsly… all the interplay of different timbres, especially brass, isolated phrases bubbling about…. it honestly sounded much more interesting than the big-band tunes. I often feel the same in a cinema when the reel is at its end and you get some test pattern or flashing green/white rectangles, more enjoyable than many films...
Mr. Brazil, what do you mean by "That sums up so much about music in general" ?

at burning man i've almost gotten run over because i get stuck between the sweet spot between two rave camps playing house music. i sit there listening to the beats moving in and out of sync every 4 or 5 bars or so, it entertains me to no end.

the last interesting noises i heard worth mentioning are:
weird effect like 4:08 in Hangable Auto Bulb while rubbing a rolling paper
and some kind of filter a là Icct Hedral when the coffee maker gets empty after pouring the coffee

i had that vhs player pictured in that link.
a ferguson videostar.
my old man bought it around 1980 and gave it to me around 86, it worked up until 1995.
that's was some proper sturdy bit of kit, that. not like your run of the mill poxy built dvd players of today, no sir.
