Here's a hint or two - make sure when you record you do so with maximum 
distortion.  Hell, just overload the inputs.  You want to go for that 
glassy, fingers-being-dragged-down-a-blackboard effect.  Remember, your 
product will only be played in the car, and the louder it is the better. 
Don't forget to use maximum compression.

Also don't forget to pile as much crap into those channels.  There's nothing 
like reverbed-to-the-max peruvian noseflute on the left channel.  Just set 
all the special effects to maximum and use up all those channels - she'll be 
right....
