Turntabling Records, , , ,

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.

RamaLama Records, Toledo OH

Record Shops, , , , ,

There are a few shops I haven’t seen in Toledo yet, but of the main choices, (Allied Record Exchange, Culture Clash and RamaLama) this is hands down Toledo, Ohio’s finest purveyor of vinyl, out there CDs and DVDs. Indie rockers take note, RamaLama Records has an upstairs stage for small, intimate in-store performances and a very customer-friendly layout. I ama huge fan of this place, having discovered the hyper-bizarre (read: excellent) comp, Prog Is Not A Four Letter Word, at random while browsing there. You can also find superfreak releases such as a vinyl pressing of Aleister Crowley reciting black mass, and my current favorite, From The Kitchen To The Garage, a compilation of Dutch girl group singles from the 1960s. Great stuff.

They buy, sell and trade and aren’t shy about putting on any freakish thing you want to hear on the overhead. I was treated to The Shaggs, and it was fantastic watching the entire store collectively CRINGE.

If you pass through Toledo, do NOT pass up the chance to shop RamaLama. This store is exactly what an indie shop ought to be. They have vinyl on display above the CD racks, but there’s a large and tasty collection of albums upstairs. Just make sure you get there before the bands start playing to browse…
