Turntabling Records Presents Electronic Penis Choppers

album, Turntabling Records, , , , ,

Turntabling Records, our Chicago-based microlabel, has released the first album by Electronic Penis Choppers (we can hear you snickering at the name already). Sex Music for H.P. Lovecraft is now available for Download and the group is already hard at work on a followup album.

Electronic Penis Choppers is working so hard, in fact, that it has whipped out (so to speak) a demo and music video for the newest track (which is NOT on the new album, we might add.)

The video for the demo, called Sex Bandsaw, features public domain video images from Eurohorror films and exploitation movies and while the band insists the track is a work in progress, it sounds pretty damn trippy regardless. Behold the video for Sex Bandsaw by Electronic Penis Choppers. Your stereo may never be the same. Electronic Penis Choppers will have a familiar ring to it for fans of Coil, Throbbing Gristle, The Orb and Apex Twin. The group doesn’t mind wearing its influences on their sleeves, that’s for certain.



WTF Album Covers: The Last of 2010

WTF?, , ,

We wrap up the 2010 WTF Album Cover collection with a cover so mind-rippingly ridiculous that I can’t actually think of anything to say that would be funnier than the cover itself. Behold:

It sounds like a bad joke, doesn’t it? A man named Quim takes off his clothes and puts out a record…yeah, this is a beauty. It’s NOT a Borat album cover, kids. This is a REAL RECORD some misguided oaf thought should hit the market looking JUST like this.

Upcoming Record Shows: The Chicagoland Record & CD Collectors Show, Hillside Illinois

Events

Turntabling will be attending, not vending, at this regular Hillside, Illinois-based show Sunday January 18. The Chicagoland Record & CD Collectors Show (held at the Best Western Chicago Hillside located at 4400 Frontage Rd) is a worthwhile way to spend a Sunday.

This show was really my gateway drug to vinyl shows in general and there are some very good deals to be had. The people behind this one do a set of regional record collector events and while I’ve been to some of the competing shows, this one seems to do it the best. Don’t miss this one if you’re nearby, it’s Turntabling recommended!

And if you’re wondering, we do attend other shows, but if we don’t like them, we tend not to waste time writing about ’em. We save our output for the ones we truly enjoy!

WTF Album Covers in Christmas Hell

WTF?, , ,

Christmas music is bad enough–how many times can we hear the Little Drummer Boy before somebody goes on a tri-state killing spree? But THESE holiday records go above and beyond when it comes to awfulness.

Worse than a Bing Crosby cardigan on David Bowie, these records deserve to go under the tree this Christmas…and into the fireplace.

This is the scene in the woods they cut out of Friday the 13th–Jason’s holiday setup. The “Organs” in the title refers to some halpless camper’s INTERNAL organs.

Can we pay this guy 50 grand to never record another record?Barring that,  I’ll cough up 25K just to pay somebody ELSE to design the next album cover.
