Back From Flashback Weekend

August 14, 2011Events, Turntabling RecordsFlashback, flashback weekend, horror conventions, I buy record collections, I buy vinyl records, vinyl, vinyl albumsJoe Wallace

Big thanks to all who came out to the Turntabling Table this weekend and chatted, bought rare and unusual vinyl, and talked about all things record-related. Turntabling is plotting more convention appearances even as I write this. Everyone who came to the table really made the weekend special–THANK YOU for your support.

I wanted to take a moment to remind people that I am currently in search of more record collections to purchase. Any kind of bulk vinyl for sale is potentially of interest as I have a continuous need for more titles–especially 80s goth/industrial, soundtracks, new wave, odd/bizarre and otherwise unclassifiable records. Feel free to get in touch about any vinyl you might be interested in selling: jwallace@turntabling (dot) net.

Thanks again for your continued support!

Is This You?

YouTube is a never-ending source of amusement on the vinyl junkie front. This video will no doubt offend the utterly humorless record collecting basement dweller, but for those of us who can’t be bothered taking ourselves THAT seriously, this is amusing as hell.

Just discovered these New York Noise video clips featuring a variety of No Wave artists (and more). A very good and worthwhile set of clips. This one features Sonic Youth maestro Thurston Moore, along with Byron Coley of Forced Exposure fame discussing the legendary Pere Ubu. This clip is only one of the many delights found at the NYNoise channel at Youtube.

The very first Turntabling Podcast is now up and running for your listening enjoyment. First episodes of ANYTHING are painful, rough, cheesy and difficult to be enthusiastic about once the next and much-better-sounding editions go up, but for now this maiden voyage of the Turntabling Podcast will have to do.

The idea behind this show is not so much to do music CRITICISM, but something more along the lines of vinyl ARCHAEOLOGY. Consider this a voyage into the dark, scary underbrush of vinyl. Where the monsters live, at least according to local superstition.

In this first episode, Turntabling discusses born again christian new-wave music by Steve Taylor, an Australian experimental album called Tape Projects 06, the frightening and funny Hilarity And Despair: American Answering Machine Tapes Volume One, plus a listen to choice bits off the Irritainment album by Guyana Punch Line. Sore throat music isn’t for EVERYONE, but some people like it.

Listen to the first-ever Turntabling Podcast, and remember that just like Dan Savage would say…it gets better. Episode Two should be FAR more entertaining, but don’t let my saying that deter you from hearing these weird vinyl cuts…they’re worth it.
