Anyone know about this guy? sounds interesting!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Marclay

I like this:

"Marclay sometimes manipulates or damages records to produce continuous loops and skips, and has said he generally prefers inexpensive used records purchased at thrift shops, as of 1998, never having paid more than US$1 for a record[6], as opposed to other turntablists who often seek out specific recordings. Marclay has occasionally cut and re-joined different LP records; when played on a turntable, these re-assembled records will combine snippets of different music in quick succession along with clicks or pops from the seams, and when the original LPs were made of differently-colored vinyl, the reassembled LPs can themselves be objects d'art."

this guy is really dope!! he was one of the first turntablist out there that really inspired me flip records other then just by scratching them and back spinnig them.
I have a few of his 7"s that he put out that are pretty cool too.
