UK DJ Dave Clarke requires no introduction. He's the master of quick-dash cutting and scratching during his top grade BPM sets and this little video segment shows the hands at work. Unfortunately the sound quality isn't great. This footage is 5 year's old but his sets are still as good now.

The National Post has a great article on the side-effects of free p2p music - hard-drives that are full of music you'll never listen to (yes, I'm a member of that last.fm group mentioned in that article, sadly). The best part of the article however is the brief discussion of how bundling (in the form of albums) forced consumers to pay out $15 for maybe one or two tracks they really wantedin the 80's and 90's. With the advent of single track digital downloads via Amazon and iTunes, this is no longer the case yet every single article detailing the decline of the music industry cites p2p downloads as the main reason. I've been convinced for a while that the unbundling efffect has been a significant contributor. Anyone up for an empirical study?
