. . . well, at least they do thanks to the magical powers of special effects in online videos. Last summer, we saw Spin, a short film in which a DJ had to weigh the power of life and death. Now, in a film that’s less ambitious metaphysically but more so visually, a DJ appears to scratch vehicles traveling through a roundabout:

To all of this, I say: where are the digital DJs playing with the fabric of space and time? Where’s the Ms. Pinky setup used to vibrate and spin our neighboring galaxies? Er . . . then again, maybe I don’t want to have the fabric of space and time warping in a giant Max/MSP patch the next time I drive through a roundabout.
