Fuse Presents: Crate Diggers

Media, ,

I am far too busy to keep up with all the insanely cool vinyl-related video on YouTube, but when I DO catch up with something amazing like this, I obsessively watch them all until the supply has been run out…then I watch ’em all again.

My current obsession is this series by Fuse called Crate Diggers. My gateway to this series was the feature on Peanut Butter Wolf, who has a collection of more than 37,000 records. Something to aspire to! If you haven’t seen this by now, have a look…I always get to these things late, so I’m sure this is old news to many, but right now this discovery is like Xmas morning to ME!

Turnaround: A Vinyl Documentary

Media, Vinyl Finds, , , , ,

I discovered this clip posted by Blake Hennequin on YouTube. Turnaround: A Vinyl Documentary seems to be a short vinyl-centric film rather than a feature-length documentary, but no matter–what grabbed my eye was the fantastic opening montage of a variety of vinyl records of all shapes and sizes spinning on a wide range of turntables. Gorgeous stuff. Sadly, it’s difficult to track down anything more about the film, but here’s the seven-minute long clip. Feast your eyes on those records!



Evil DIY Types Mutilate Vinyl Records In Ill Advised Ways

Media, , , ,

Every once in a great while I run across a YouTube horror show like this. It staggers the imagination–the toxic fumes generated by putting a vinyl record onto the fires of a gas stove alone would make this seem like a bad idea…to perpetrate these atrocities on vinyl records after, as the YouTube poster himself claims, drinking for 12 hours straight seems like a cry for help of the most desperate kind. Fear the reaper.



Vinyl Record Burners On Video

Media

The Peters Brothers were 80s satanic panic scaremongers who organized record burnings, “truth about rock” high school gymnasium seminars and much more. Watch this hysterically funny, awful, and frightening video about the Peters Brothers’ horrid, misguided nonsense…and ask yourself, vinyl lovers, how much lovely vinyl was destroyed by these polyester-loving jeezo-mutants. And just as awful, how much air pollution did these cretins generate with their record burning bonfires?

One of the best things about this video is the apparent need to explain what the words “necrophilia” and “masochism” mean. Hysterical. Also, “Hear how Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones want to control your mind”. Nice.
