All of those cassette tapes being thrown into our trash dumps are really starting to add up. Piles and piles of Journey tapes lie waste, just waiting for a superhero to come and recycle them into a constructive use.

If you don’t have the patience to create an artist’s likeness with the innards of a cassette, maybe these Recycled Cassette Tape Neckties will strike your fancy. If there’s one thing I never even thought to imagine, it was that I’d be wearing cassette tapes in the future as formal wear. But hey, whatever works, right?

Hidden spy cameras aren’t anything new. You’ve been able to order them out of catalogs and off the ‘net for years now. However, take a look at this necktie. Can you spot the camera? I barely could when I looked at this photo the first time. I’m pretty sure as long as you can manage to keep your tie on during whatever recon mission you’re on, you’re going to get the shot. At $66 for the 2GB version, it’s also one of the cheaper solutions. All you need now is something worth shooting. What would you record with a hidden pinhole camera?

During the day, you’re all business. Not even the slightest “woot” escapes the depths of your icy cold lungs. But at night, after your shift, you like to unwind a bit. Ya know, get a little freaky-deaky. Maybe drop by a club and drink a little bub? But your business suit makes you look like a square, or even worse, a parent.

Twisted Ties allow you to be all business for your day job and then become the party’s clown with just a swivel of your neckware. Available in an assortment of designs, the Twisted Ties are great for the executive who lives a secret double life. You can get your own for about $22 from Spinning Hat. Check out a few more of the tie designs after the jump.

Do you want to be the Prince of Ties? It’s kind of like being the Prince of Tides, except that you play a lot of Tetris. You also have to play other classic games like Space Invaders, Pong or Asteroids, but that sure beats work that a real prince would do. Oh, and you’ll have to wear a tie to match whatever game you’re playing. Don’t sweat it though, ’cause these Wild Ties are built to make you look good. At $25 per tie, even a Prince of Ties can afford this deal.

The product of design firm Dialog5, this USB Necktie, dubbed ‘Business Class’ is one of the more chic gadgets we’ve seen as of late. A solid white design, featuring a small blue USB logo towards the bottom, you could actually wear this to work or to a dinner. At the bottom of the tie is a USB jack that can plug into any computer. No word on how much storage is included, if any, but I’m sure it’s a decent size considering it’s built into a damn tie.

I wonder if you could wear this tie into a high-security meeting. After you break for lunch, you could steal your rival’s laptop and copy over that all important data. Sassy! Worse comes to worse, you can always hang yourself with it, although we don’t recommend or condone any of that nonsense.

Mr. Baxter upstairs is very upset with you. He’s well aware that you and your “crew” have been taking extra-long lunches so you can squeeze in matches of Guitar Hero in the break room. Yes, with every missed chord in YYZ, Mr. Baxter grows tired of your game and would really love it if you got back to your desk and finished those reports on moose statistics.

But you’re a rebel. Just like Lou Reed and Joey Ramone, you’re not gonna give in to the man. So while he may have thrown the Playstation 2 you were using in the break room out the window, the spirit of your shredding still lives on with this Guitar Hero necktie. It’s just like the controller, except it feels oh-so soft.
