Crosley CR49 Traveler Portable Turntable

crosley-cr49-traveler-portable-turntable

I knew about Crosley turntables, but I never spotted anyone using them until I paid a visit to my friends in Hyperbubble. There, perched on the bathroom counter next to a pile of great old vinyl was a Crosley, clearly intended to be used for bathtub chillout time after a long day of recording and producing new music. 

Not this particular Crosley, mind you, but this Crosley CR49 Traveler is perfect for bath time anywhere you care to roam; hotels, guest houses, crashing at a fellow DJ’s house…anywhere you might want to bring the vinyl equivalent of a boom box. Aspiring rappers and sound system-ers, here’s a concept for you—take your turntabling on the busking circuit! This is uber-portable and only requires a power supply. The built-in speakers make this the ultimate retro accessory. Buy two of em and do the world’s most lo-tech portable DJ set. What’s that, you say? Crazy? Not if you’re playing small intimate spaces like a tiny art gallery or somebody’s front room. Hell, I’m tempted!

May 25, 2011

This is a clip from Vinyl, the documentary film about record collectors, hoarders, miscreants, and music lovers in general.

Omega Music, Dayton Ohio

May 23, 2011

Vinyl Road Rage made a quick trip over to Dayton, Ohio to find Omega Music, a big record shop in a town apparently once known for a much richer selection of indie shops but–I’m told–having suffered through the lousy economy since the insanity of 2008, it’s a lucky thing the survivors are still around.
