I love it when the world is thinking about the same thing avery once in a while. Yesterday, I posted the Nate Harrison thing while over at Pretty Goes With Pretty, A whole rash of turntable type stuff was posted. Also a decent post on “Mingering Mike” who is a DC “Legend” for his imaginary recording career.
For your pleasure today I have a few Christian Marclay posts from YouTube, after that I will stop putting the needle on the record for a bit.

For those of you new to the party, CM is a visual artist and musical composer who is exploring the pattern languages connecting sound, photography, video, and film.
CM uses records and turntables in musical performances, and was one of the earliest and one of the most notable musicians to do so outside a hip hop context. Marclay sometimes manipulates or damages records to produce continuous loops and skips as well as using the album – both art work and object to make other art objects.
