As if Japan wasn’t already awesome enough, it had to produce the phenom known as ‘Tucker’. Tucker spins vintage vinyl from the years where console record players took up an entire wall. Mixing beats with the music likely heard on Zombo’s Mondo Record Party. His skills are not limited to the turntables however. Do your “holy crap!” sensory nerves a favor and check out how he scratches a gas can, guitar, organ ribbon controller, infant toys, a turntable-gold chain-bass contraption, cassette player and on top of that totally rocks out on drums and an organ set ablaze!
Tucker’s ingenuity is inspiring and shows that you don’t need all the gadgetry to make engaging music, although it’s still fun to amass collections of blinky noisy gizmos.
Currently tracking down his two CD's and a DVD that comes out April 25th. Although it looks like I may have to trek to Japan to catch him live.
Edit: I'm going to add more links as I find them to make you all Tucker believers.

Some sort of Walkman commercials. Watch these first if nothing at all.
