  • out of tune upright pianos (i always heard these on older records, and now i know what i hear)
  • typewriter keys and especially the sound it makes when it's at the end of a line
  • older camera shutters opening and closing
  • stir fry sizzles
  • tambura/sitar drone (instant atmosphere)
  • accordion accompaniment (i really like the way accordions sound when they back up something and are not front and center. ex: "jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam" and "god only knows")
  • organs that come in and out (they are a good touch. ex: "tears of rage")
  • the ringing a cash register makes
  • the clicking and "kri-clush" a carbonated can makes
