I think it is really cool of Brinkmann to go around showing people how to
do this rhythmic popping of the runout groove, rather than keeping his
ideas secretive.  Same should be happening for cd-skipping, imo.  For
instance, it wuld be useful to know the bpm of the average
cd-data-word-skip.  If you programmed a track in that bpm, you could make
the cd skip and get some tracky stuff....as well as know what speed to mix
vinyl in at...Maybe I'll try this tonight...
