The Boomerang is an advanced scratch found in Qbert's curriculum (Level 3) that builds and combines concepts taught in prior levels. This is a tricky one if you don't already know the "2 Click Flare" or the "Aquaman", so it's really important to first establish that foundation.  As you'll discover with this and many other advanced scratches, the Boomerang is based on a combination of some fundamental scratch concepts and the importance of establishing this foundation is absolutely crucial in order to progress.

Tony Prince InterviewRob Swift has put up his interview with the legendary Tony Prince. To quote Rob, "If you’re a DJ, I don’t care if you’re a club, radio or bedroom DJ, and don’t know who Tony Prince is PUNCH YOURSELF IN THE FACE RIGHT NOW."

In all seriousness, this is a great read for all of us skratch nerds with the man we all know as the founder of the DMC (aka that crazy British guy who announces the DMC World Finals every year)And who better to interview him than Rob Swift??
