This episode is a little different! I'm diving deep into an interesting and creepy production technique called backmasking. Listening to music backward can be traced back to the invention of the phonograph in the 1800s, and has since been associated with subliminal messaging, censorship, and in some cases, it's an homage to the devil himself. I'm sharing all my favorite examples, including The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Tool, Prince, Pink Floyd, ELO and so many more. Be warned, this is a creepy one!
