I spent last night playing around with audio programming for Android and I now have the basics of a FingerPlay scratch app. There’s no interface yet and it’s not “real” scratching, but I’ll see what I can do about that when I’m back from my holiday. And I need a better loop to play with as well..
Can’t get embed video to work right now.. I’ll update later.
I’m seeing Beardyman at Cargo on Friday and to warm up for it I ripped this amazing mini mix he did for Annie Mac’s Mash Up on Radio 1.

Here he is live at Cargo last year:
When the cat’s away the mice run all over the decks and record a mix. My housemate was gone for a few days so I used his computer to record a mix in the front room. Please excuse the static noise in the beginning of it, but running a long cable from a rubbish mixer all the way through the house up to my friend’s computer has its downsides. Two actually, one being the static noise and the other being trying to rush to the toilet in the middle of the night without tripping on the cable and pissing yourself.
I seem to fall in love with anything 8-bit retro these days which probably stems from growing up in that era, but I guess one more post about it can’t hurt. Two kids from New York made an album using guitars, drums and a NES. The music isn’t bad in itself but I really like the 8-bit styled videos for each track.
This surely must be the best and the end of all youtube mashups.
