Street megaphones hang on buildings and poles in most Czech and Slovakian villages.
As a tourist I've always been surprised by outbursts of loud old school music suddenly taking over these otherwise rather peaceful places.
There are many speakers in every village and they broadcast simultaneously. Listening to the delays thus caused is quite a feast for a field recordist.
This one has been recorded from a distance of a few hundred metres from the NEAREST speaker.

It it fucking cool indeed ain't it!
I actually followed the idea, so there is more of that and in better quality (although the music track from Mladejov remains unbeatable):

I spent some time in South Moravia and those speakers were just the craziest thing to me while I was there.
