Not in my case, just seems pointless as I hate backspins and only ever scratch me rude bits not me records...Wouldn't say it was intuitive either, more learned through repetition :) But like I said I'll use anything, even spoons (see PTV years) > > > -> Also, with MP3's now becoming more available it's only a > -> short matter of > -> time before it's the main way to play out.

Kids are cool with it and they don't give a frig about all the gubbings, kinda like my old man moaning about having to buy CD's - it's over...As cool as I think records are the next generation don't care and you won't make them either...
