Does the peace of mind come from the perspective of whoever’s responsible for the dead chick on the cover wrapped in plastic? Is this the corpse of a shrewish, constantly nagging loudmouth who said one snide thing too many before being bashed over the head with an Italian glass ashtray? Or maybe this album cover is suggesting that being DEAD and WRAPPED IN PLASTIC is what gives that peace of mind? Wow…what a statement!
Those who come to our appearances at HorrorHound, Flashback Weekend, Cyphan and other conventions know Turntabling has been selling t-shirts at the booth ever since the start of 2010. We’ve got a small silkscreen press operation running and we’ve been cranking out our own designs for some time–but they’ve never been available here until now.
Hot off our printing presses, feast your eyes on this VERY limited edition Aleister Crowley “Kiss Me, I’m Evil” t-shirt is now on sale at Turntabling for just $13 and FREE SHIPPING in the USA. (Overseas customers–we’ll calculate your shipping and send you your final total.)
If you love Turntabling.net, consider supporting us with a t-shirt purchase. All the funds go directly towards keeping Turntabling alive and kicking, and you get this custom-made, hand-silkscreened fashion statement to boot.
We make the tees ourselves in small batches, they aren’t mass produced OR mass-marketed. These limited-edition shirts are available in sizes Small through XX-Large. The Aleister Crowley Kiss Me I’m Evil t-shirt is a 100% cotton black tee with red ink. Buy it now from Turntabling for $13.
Border Radio was a great, low-budget indie film directed by Kurt Voss, Dean Lent, and Allison Anders over a period of four years in Southern California. It stars a who’s who of Cali punk luminaries including Dave Alvin, Chris D. and John Doe in a standout role as a grungy bass player in exile from the local music scene.
The film’s soundtrack is a combination of meditative guitar strumming and more energetic sounds from Alvin, Green On Red, DJ Bonebrake (John Doe’s bandmate in X), Lazy Cowgirls, and many more. The film–a potboiler about a club theft and the local heavies chasing down the most likely suspects)–holds up well and is still fascinating to watch for a variety of reasons. Partially shot in documentary style, the first half hour (after some intro scenes) feels a bit like Penelope Spheeris’s Decline of Western Civilization, but Border Radio is definitely working in its own idiom.
The soundtrack is awesome, and this edition comes with a strip of 16mm film from the movie. We’ve got one solitary copy of this for sale, and we strongly recommend it. The movie was originally released in 1987 and finally got a Criterion Collection release in 2006, which we also recommend…
Border Radio is a sealed, unopened vinyl LP released on Enigma (not a reissue). Buy it now from Turntabling for $23 plus shipping. Overseas shipping is extra.
