The Setup: 1 Turntable + 1 Ghetto Blaster + 1 Trigger Finger + 1 Fast Track USB + 1 Mixer = Lots of Fun.
After much playing around, and learning as I go, I was able to get the the whole thing working. I first sampled a piano loop from the turntable, looped it in Ableton Live, used the Trigger Finger to pound out the drum track, then scratched over it. This is the result:
It was an interesting experince, and one I am very much looking forward to repeating.
Sound off in the comments.
