Here’s a hint. On your next album cover, try NOT wearing clothes that were made from the upholstery of all your previous lawn furniture. Also, Tina Turner called, she wants her head back.
Ion Audio Profile Flash LP to SD Card Conversion DJ Turntable
To begin–not sure why the Ion Profile Flash LP to SD turntable is billed as a “DJ turntable”. It DOES have a preamp in it so it can be used in a variety of settings, and it also has a line in (1/8 inch jack) so you can dump exterior audio sources to SD or USB flash or external drives. What this turntable DOES have going for it is the simplicity of the operation–record your vinyl direct to MP3 (at 192kbs at 44khz). That’s pretty sweet for most home use. Want to hear those great old Slow Children or Hazel O’Connor albums in the car? Now you can.
But for a DJ, this might not be the red hot tool you need, especially if you’re picky about conversion to MP3. I personally prefer a higher rate than what you can get here but would be very tempted to buy this for home use if I didn’t already have a USB turntable.
My advice is to do some SERIOUS comparison shopping on this one if you’re interested. For example, you can get this turntable at Zzounds.com listed at $149 and $7 shipping (at press time–prices may change), but over at Amazon it sells for $112 at press time with free shipping (at press time). Shop around!

WTF Bad Album Covers: The Eternal Horror of Baby Lu-Lu
I don’t know about you, but the cover of this album makes me want to smash people with a shovel until the state troopers show up and taze me to death.
Reading the back cover makes me feel nauseous in a way I can’t properly explain. I wish I heard voices so I could obey them telling me to disintegrate whoever is responsible for this. (Click on the image to enlarge and damage your mind.)
