Turntablism in HI

Either someone in Hawaii is incredibly cool or incredibly stupid (as in, they
want to lose money). It seems recently that two big turntablist shows dropped
this month. Last week was DJ Babu (of the Beat Junkies) and this week appears
to be Buckethead (the guitarist from SF) with DJ Disk (of the Skratch Piklz).
Funny thing is when I play this kind of material on my shows, people tend to
complain, saying it's too noisy but then I always try to mix in some Cecil
Taylor, late period Coltrane, or Ornette Coleman. Same thing, different era.
