RE: [microsound] Video Scratching on M-M-Macs By Leander Kahney

[David Fodel <DFodel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I sent the writer of that Wired story an e-mail with the link to the old
EBN interview and mentioned BK's name etc... and sure enough the story was
updated and mentions EBN and Coldcut now... but evedently the writer did not
even read the interview, as EBN are credited as a "British multimedia
outfit"
