You might have noticed his work in the collection of Windows 7 sample media, alongside
a koala, penguins and a jellyfish,
a piano tune and
a version of Debussy's "Maid with the Flaxen Hair", or maybe his ditties got you tapping your toes
in a video game. Perhaps you met him at his
tea shop in Manchester (
Google Streetview), home to his
own line of organic teas. Maybe you know him for his marathon mixsets, running
four,
five,
six, or
almost seven hour long. You might know him as
Andy Carthy, but it's a bit more likely you've already heard something of
Mr. Scruff.

Brian Eno and David Byrne released
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts in 1981. It's a great album--and now it's available with a Creative Commons License. "
This is the first time complete and total access to original tracks with remix and sampling possibilities have been officially offered on line."
