Nope
I've had a look, does nowt for me, looks like a bunch of blokes fucking about with other peoples music.

If it's an instrument, it's for playing records on.

I once saw some Formula One techie playing about with a car and he got the engine notes to play 'God Save The Queen'. It doesn't make it a musical instrument, it's still a car.

I refer you to my previous reply.

So you missed the bit where the Perverts were scratching without any records?
Using the platter, stylus and mixer to make music?

Music?
I thought that music had a melody, you know, like a tune, a rhythm and a beat. I've played guitar for about 20 years and that's what I've been led to believe. I've just watched the Perverts vid all the way through and that's 6 minutes of my life wasted.
The bit you refer to was random clicks and buzzes, not music. If you think that's music, you should watch a video of the Clangers. You'll have an orgasm.
