that's the fun part though -- spinning _while having sex_. ultimately, you'll want to move your turntables & mixer on a table right next to the bed, with a good supply of boring minimal techno & ambient dub ready to spin. changing the discs during the act might be a bit tricky at first, so you may want to wire a microphone to your bedpost & through a delay/reverb effect box & lower its pitch so as to have a steady thump-squeak-thump-squeak beat throughout. you're a pro if you can do a perfect beatmatch with your own, erhm, i/o rhythm. if you do it well enough, your neighbours/roommates won't think you're having sex anymore -- they'll just think you're throwing a party. (make sure they're not invited.) if your partner is relatively loud, you also may want to wire her/him through a ring modulator for added glitches. another trick is to put the turntable _on_ the bed for the 'dsp-like cut-up effect' (if you don't get it right away, you will when you try playing your vinyl again.) don't just worry about birth control anymore -- you must also take care of the pitch control! try not to make a mess! -- david
