This morning around 9 a.m., a Brooklyn resident boarded the Manhattan bound N train to find close to 50 kids on the car, all armed with recorders. Trapped in some waking nightmare, each station stop passed and the kids remained, playing their recorders the entire time. In total: forty minutes. Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if 50 kids in one room all tried to experiment with free jazz on their recorders at the same time? Click play and let those ears bleed right out.
Our tipster S. Chum-Wu, tells us, "It was cute for like 5 minutes then the best/worst form of torture ever." She added that there were two chaperones, who both clearly need to be schooled in subway etiquette.
