hey all, just something quite cool i noticed - the satellite/cable channel Sky Sports in the UK was using Mr.Scruff's "Get A Move On" as its background music for some highlights a couple of nights ago. MTV Europe was using "Windowlicker" as the background music for its festival coverage all summer too, heh. regards, h0l. ps - not quite on-topic but not quite off-topic, the brilliant Japanese arcade/Playstation musicgame "Beatmania" has been converted onto PC by naughty types (you play along to music and get weirdass visuals at the sametime.) The PC version allows you to hack your own tunes and graphics, unlike the arcade/PSX version :) I saw Aphex mentioned on one Japanese webpage, but everything else was in kanji so I couldn't work out where it was downloadable. If anyone finds the BM98 Aphex-tune, tell me.. in the meantime, software and example songs downloadable from: http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~mtundo/bm98.htm ..and doing a search for 'bm98' on stuff like Metacrawler will come up with lots more weird Japanese trance/techno tunes to play, the keys are: SD ZXC [SPACEBAR] You can even make your own playable versions of any tunes you want, so first person to do "Come On My Selector" with graphics consisting of videocaps from the Chris Cunningham vid gets a gold star!
