The Turntabling Video Blog For Vinyl Junkies

Turntabling is getting seriously plugged into the v-blog thing now. In this latest edition it’s the Slim Goodbody album “Healthy Is Wealthy” in the crosshairs. What do you say to a naked man with no junk and an exposed digestive tract?




We plan on making the vids a regular feature…naturally there is plenty of kink-ironing out to be done, but so far we’re plenty amused by the results. Sure, the Turntabling video channel is growing up in public, but ask Anthony Bourdain, he’ll tell you that’s an occupational hazard.

If you are a fellow vinyl junkie with a YouTube channel posting vinyl-related clips, we’d love to connect with you on Youtube. Send a friend request or an e-mail!

Turntabling Goes YouTube…

I’ve been experimenting with some vids on YouTube for Turntabling with an eye on making a little series on obscure vinyl records, WTF albums and much more. So far the results have been mildly amusing but the idea seems to be getting a life of its own.

The Turntabling YouTube channel is the place where you can see some of these (mercifully) short commentaries on vinyl, the vinyl lifestyle and more. With a little luck this is the start of something long-term once we work the bugs out.

You can also watch the one just posted, embedded below for your convenience. It’s still a long way from being 100% super happy funtime, but it seems to be moving along in the right direction.

WTF Album Covers: Todd Rundgren

You have to hand it to Todd Rundgren–when he wants to bewilder, he REALLY GOES FOR IT.

I was surprised to learn this album came out in 2004. Liars by Todd Rundgren is a political statement to be sure, but this image of TR-i in flannel jammies and the Easter bunny getup make some run screaming back for the comfort of “Hello, It’s Me”.

But wait, there’s MORE! Todd Rundgren wasn’t content to play dress-up on the album cover…oh, no. Behold the wonder, the mystery, the sheer brain-rendingly odd vision of Rundgren singing God Said (not a bad track in that style, I might add) live (in Glasgow?). The set looks like a Gary Numan video, but Todd Rundgren himself is dressed like a French cabaret chanteuse. Or something. I love this. Let your freak flag fly, TR-i.
