I've got a lot of other books and film on turntablism (especiallly the seminal Style Wars of the early 80's). IT's a fascinating new artform, served extremely well by Scratch. If you're interested in learning more, especially in regards to the real materiality issues of the movement and the basic structure of reading vinyl (as you've noticed, there's an almost prerequisite set of cuts that a DJ must learn-- from these all other readings are extrapolated, let me know and I'll pass them on to you. Glad you enjoyed the film.

Would love to see some of that stuff, particularly anything on "reading" vinyl. Thanks--

"offscreen" showed that movie last year here at uva, but, unfortunately, i didn't get to go.

i'll have to make sure to watch it some time on video or dvd.

uhh. after i pass my orals.

These documentaries look really interesting. I'm also intrigued by the fascination with vinyl, although I only know a little about the issues you've mentioned.
