If he hasn't done it yet, I would think Mu-ziq will be the man for the jobotomy. Doesn't he frequently use non-percussion noize for beatz? Or does he just overdrive the effects and/or mixer until they cry uncle, grinding out the mangled remnants of drum samples through those junk speakers he claims to use? Hey, what's this about Beatles jungle/D&B? Don't tell me they found another unfinished Beatles song in the vault, and decided to raise John Lennon from the dead once again, this time for a session with cut-and-paste sample-happy beatbreaking drummer-stroke-inducement ("yeh, Ringo, let's hear that damn Walrus song at 180 bpm") on the latest version of the greatest slice-and-dice software Mac-Schiz including this free vegetable-fractal-designertool all for one low price of $19.95? Order now, quantities are limited! Extremely limited, really. Sorry. Haven't had my coffee yet. 3
