Does music from your stereo startle you?
There is a song I play which has a spot that sounds exactly like a telephone ringing and I jump every time. Haven't had a land line in a long time but I still jump.

Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out?
I once had an old Marantz 1060 amp that smelled wonderful when it warmed up. Someone must have spilled a little scented oil or something into it.

No ladies invited? Not sure I like this club...
