There's a few little things to add, but it's pretty much finished.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">The Mystery Machine runs the excellent <a href="http://www.mamedev.org/">MAME</a> software for emulating arcade games. It also runs emulators for Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Intellivision, Colecovision,<span><span></span></span> Vectrex, Super Nintendo and Virtual Pinball.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">There's also a full jukebox function and video player.

Before his set he was kind enough to rock a 3 minute freestyle into my dictaphone, which was, needless to say, all that and then some. I don't remember when or where I last saw the dictaphone and the tape. I think it got lost in one of those boy/girl break-ups. Just one of those things that has, sadly, been confined to memory alone.<span><span></span></span> Once again, Big L rest in peace.</span>The Shrunken Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01175802145152811336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358199296505375747.post-90069989736487064192008-12-18T02:52:00.004+00:002008-12-23T18:30:59.538+00:00Blue Flowers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD5daHv0Rc_-RFQW_6-GXpNX8X6Fbw6PqOsrzxMKVftM-iEaToJ8zNXZuXpSgiFNlLZNF-71Hgabt4_uxalVlQCQti8hPm2-2mkt3DH8Jnj5gkgsI0tPbgudN-J-ACJ-tvGy1RbVruRnU/s1600-h/bf.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD5daHv0Rc_-RFQW_6-GXpNX8X6Fbw6PqOsrzxMKVftM-iEaToJ8zNXZuXpSgiFNlLZNF-71Hgabt4_uxalVlQCQti8hPm2-2mkt3DH8Jnj5gkgsI0tPbgudN-J-ACJ-tvGy1RbVruRnU/s200/bf.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283054548886881474" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Let's kick this off with a quick remix I did of the Dr Octagon classic "Blue Flowers". Found this on my computer tonight, did the remix on 25th Sept 2006. The beat goes on at the end, as I couldn't be bothered to edit it. I'm like that.
