ing over 13 million copies) shows a young man alone, in his basement studio with racks of records to his left, graffiti laden bricks behind him, mixing to dim lights that accentuate his arms - extended, perhaps even made jagged by the erratic movements from each scratch he makes. Could this be what happens when reality mirrors surrealism instead of the vice versa?
