I don't believe I've ever posted on this thing before, but I suppose now's as good a time as any to start. Right now I'm having some trouble sleeping, and trying my damndest to remedy that by dipping into a $90 bottle of tequila that my roommate gave me for some god unknown reason...

Check this out. But before you do, grab either a blunt or a 40oz and go to town. The whole thing should be on youtube, and it's amazing. Think of it as the Interstella 5555 of turntablism. I've seen it, like, 9 times now.
At least watch it until the end of part 2... there's a cameo by Buckethead in there.
