The Turntabling Collection

Now that we’re back from Cinema Wasteland, the Turntabling Collection inventory has been updated (a big job, thanks to the awesome vinyl lovers at Wasteland picking up loads of rare and hard to find vinyl) and is now back on line for your viewing pleasure.

The Turntabling Collection is made of hundreds of CD and LP titles that are, as mentioned above, rare and hard to find or just plain cool. Everyone who purchases from Turntabling is making a direct show of support for the site since all proceeds go to keep the site going.

Your support is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks to all who came to see The Turntabling Collection at Cinema Wasteland this weekend and we look forward to seeing you again at the next show. An updated appearance schedule will be posted shortly.

Back From Cinema Wasteland

…and what a trip it was! I am currently updating the inventory on the Turntabling Collection and will have more vinyl for sale posted soon. In the meantime, there are lots of photos to post later and many thanks for the likes of people at Cinema Wasteland, KitleysKrypt.com and too many others to mention at present. Updates coming!

Turntabling at Cinema Wasteland 2011 in Strongsville Ohio

Starting Wednesday, September 28 2011, Turntabling hits the road, bound for the mighty Cinema Wasteland horror convention in Strongsville Ohio.

The show doesn’t start until Friday, September 30th, but there is vinyl buying to be done, some sights in and around Cleveland to be taken in, and on Friday morning the Turntabling Collection needs to be unpacked and made ready for sale at the show.

There will be plenty of updates from Cinema Wasteland on Facebook. My personal FB page also doubles as the Turntabling page, friend me there and let’s get connected!

The image to the left here is more what more than 600 vinyl records looks like packed and ready for the road trip. That’s a whopping EIGHT CRATES of vinyl records. And there are also several crates full of rare and hard to find CDs, too.

If you’ve never attended Cinema Wasteland before, this is your best chance to date of seeing The Turntabling Collection in all its glory. Coil, Legendary Pink Dots, Skinny Puppy, rare Dr. Who vinyl, The Cure, Burroughs on vinyl, Lydia Lunch, J.G. Thirlwell, Sleep Chamber, too many other awesome groups to name all for sale on glorious vinyl records at the Turntabling table. And yes, there is plenty of Italian soundtrack music and related sounds, too.

That aside, Cinema Wasteland is one HELL of a show and this year there are too many amazing guests to name–do you want to meet the director of Basket Case, Frank Henenlotter? Dawn of the Dead’s David Emge? The awesome William Forsythe? Gunnar “Leatherface” Hansen? All scheduled to appear. There are plenty of screenings and other groovy good times there too…

The Turntabling Collection is not available for sale online during Cinema Wasteland as the ENTIRE STOCK is headed there for the show. The collection will be reposted for sale once Wasteland is over and the inventory has been updated.

As always, THANK YOU for your continued support of Turntabling. Every record or CD you purchase goes toward keeping the site alive and kicking, and it is definitely doing all that and more…thanks to you.

WTF Album Covers: Todd Rundgren

You have to hand it to Todd Rundgren–when he wants to bewilder, he REALLY GOES FOR IT.

I was surprised to learn this album came out in 2004. Liars by Todd Rundgren is a political statement to be sure, but this image of TR-i in flannel jammies and the Easter bunny getup make some run screaming back for the comfort of “Hello, It’s Me”.

But wait, there’s MORE! Todd Rundgren wasn’t content to play dress-up on the album cover…oh, no. Behold the wonder, the mystery, the sheer brain-rendingly odd vision of Rundgren singing God Said (not a bad track in that style, I might add) live (in Glasgow?). The set looks like a Gary Numan video, but Todd Rundgren himself is dressed like a French cabaret chanteuse. Or something. I love this. Let your freak flag fly, TR-i.
