"Radar, the single-monikered Valley man who will be the solo turntablist in Wednesday's concert, is one of the best-known deejays in the country." ... "Radar's one of the world's best scratchers," Brown says. "In this concerto, he's trying to show that the turntable is an instrument, capable of melodies and articulations." Now I realize I'm an over the hill rube from Iowa, but I've never heard of this guy -- did he do DMC tournament while I was in a coma? Is he the fabled 5th X-ecutioner? Cut Chemist's long lost baby sister's boy? I think not! You want to hear classical music and techno? Get Tintonton Duvante's "Selections for Intercourse" where he's written arrangements for live string quartet. Better than Radar Man whoever the hell that is scratching in a tux.
