Tomorrow, Saturday October 10 at noon til Sunday October 11 at noon, drop by the Turntabling booth at the Music Box Massacre, the amazing 24 horror movie marathon held yearly at Chicago’s Music Box Theater. We’ll be there selling new and used vinyl, soundtrack CDs, books and much more.

We’re giving away a limited Turntabling Favorites compilation CD with a dozen of the most-played tracks on our speakers to date! Buy anything from the table and get the comp for free, but only while supplies last. (This one will go VERY QUICKLY so get there early.)

Also, don’t miss the Reanimator reunion featuring Stuart Gordon and other luminaries. It’s going to be an excellent time! Hope to see you there. Join us at the Music Box Theater, 3733 N Southport Avenue, Chicago, IL 60613-3718. Telephone: (773) 871-6604 to get directions to the theater.

Paisley Babylon Midnight Hallucinations CD/MP3

album, , , , , , ,

Paisley Babylon Midnight HallucinationsIt’s Halloween season again, which can only mean one thing–Paisley Babylon is back to creep you out electronically with a collection of way-out synth sounds. Yes, Paisley Babylon is the ‘house band’ of Turntabling.net, a chronically unclassifiable synth project running since 1996. Some have compared PB to Dark Side of the Moon-era Pink Floyd, while others say it sounds a lot like a collision between John Carpenter and Goblin.

It’s tough to say who’s right, but one thing’s for sure, this CD/MP3 download is definitely the right soundtrack for your next Halloween shindigm, especially for when you want to turn out all the lights and get down with the adult recreational activities. Sex music for mutants? That was one person’s description of Midnight Hallucinations. You be the judge.

The mighty Antone’s Records in Austin, Texas does NOT disappoint. Don’t be fooled by the modest exterior in this Austin strip mall, or the (comparatively) smallish space this shop takes up. Much like Doctor Who’s Tardis, this store seems to expand from within as the stock gets larger. And what a collection of fantastic records Antone’s has! This unassuming (and friendly) shop has an excellent assortment of rarities and more common titles. Behold:

Vinyl Road Trip Snark-Every Picture Tells a Story

Record Shops, vinyl road rage

by Joe Wallace

Here’s a bunch of images I haven’t published yet from the vinyl road rage trek across ‘Merica 2009. Complete with snarky commentary and juvenile behavior.

music with a message that sucksYou can always count on the gospel goofies for bad album cover fun. The name of this record by The Talleys is, in case you can’t read the script, Music With A Message. Judging by the array of instruments on the cover of this howler, you can bet that the message is “This music sucks.”

Tokyo Skunx Bakabillie Boogie LPThe word “baka” in Japanese means “stupid” or could even mean in the right context “retarded” in the current 7th grade put-down sense of the word. So for this record to be called Bakabillie Boogie is more amusing…to me. Unfortunately you can’t really see from this photograph that none of the band members are wearing pants. Yes, the dude in the middle is wearing a crotch holster. Continue reading Vinyl Road Trip Snark-Every Picture Tells a Story →
