I accidentally discovered that trick once. It confused the hell out of me, and I tried it with a bunch of different albums to see how they would sound. It took me a while to figure out what had happened.

The headphones would have been connected in a way that for some reason, one of the stereo channels was inverted and combined with the other, which cancels out everything that's panned to the middle. As it turns out, Loveless is a great album for trying this.

It sounds much better if you edit the audio yourself in a program like Audacity, rather than fucking with your headphones. (Much as it might be tempting to fuck your headphones while listening to Loveless)
