Vinyl Road Rage: Views From The Road

Record Shops, vinyl road rage, , , , , , ,

I’ll have a full update on day #2 later–it’s very late at the time of this writing and I need sleep soon, but here is a look at some of the things seen on the trip so far. These images were taken between Bloomington, Indiana and Memphis, Tennessee. The record stores along the way have been great and there is much more to come.

Also stay tuned for a new Vinyl Road Rage video sometime tomorrow (Friday December 9, 2011).

Jack White’s Third Man Records isn’t just a label, it is also a boutique-y record shop with loads of great atmosphere and interesting vinyl & merch. Tiny, but very well done–an impressive shop indeed!

Landlocked Music in Bloomington Indiana is a favorite stop…highly recommended, as is the shop pictured below, also in Bloomington–TD’s CDs and LPs.

Oh, to own this pricey-but-essential Nurse With Wound box set…agony of the damned is mine now that I know it exists, yet own it not.

Elvis on 8-track? That’s like asking if Stereolab is available on compact disc. I kept having to remind myself that I was in Tennessee and would be seeing a LOT of Mister Elvis over these few days.

Long before the New Kids on the Block, The Partridge Family was carrying the torch as a kiddie sensation–except the New Kids didn’t feature a mom, just some (probably) Svengali-esque manager.

Nashville’s answer to environmental activism: Think Globally, Act Hillbilly. Does that include squealing like a pig at the command of someone wearing a trucker hat and a shotgun?

The Grasshopper Original Soundtrack LP Jacqueline Bisset

For Sale, , , , ,


There is something about those 60s and 70s movies with sex themes that some–Turntabling including–really love. The plot of The Grasshopper is pretty standard stuff, the progression of a liberated woman through sexually challenging scenarios and general life drama. But these movies always have a certain something (and plenty of enjoyable cheese to boot) that makes ’em worth a watch.

The soundtracks to movies like The Grasshopper are almost always peppered with groovy/funky interludes, plus some nice Morricone-influenced swells and such. Check the middle part of the trailer for some nice fuzzed out 70s guitar action…you’ll see. That sort of thing is right up our alley here and helps forgive/overlook the cheesed out “Look Again” track (more on that in a moment).

Apparently The Grasshopper has a bit of a following–on YouTube people rave about it. The cover art pretty much sums up this movie, and for the time it was released that artwork is pretty edgy, as you can see.

The theme for the trailer (see below) is by The Brooklyn Bridge. “Look Again” sounds like pretty schmaltzy stuff, but some really dig it. The same people probably dig the theme from Ode To Billy Joe or the theme from Billy Jack. If that’s you, don’t let this pass you by. The Grasshopper soundtrack is available here–we have a single copy in stock. When it’s gone, it’s gone!

Vinyl Records For Sale at Turntabling

editorial, , ,

I’ve been off the online vinyl record sales for a while–owing mostly to conventions wiping out my supply of LPs for sale, but Turntabling has restocked and I’m selling titles here once again.

I’ve got plenty of cool rarities on vinyl and CD coming up for sale here–watch the posts and you’ll see a steady stream of lust-worthy titles. I’ll be adding items for sale in the sidebars once again, too. Everything goes on back up for sale Friday April 8, 2011.

Everything is NOW AVAILABLE for sale as listed here. Supplies are limited in many cases–if we are sold out of something, we’ll let you know.

I’m taking a new approach with Turntabling which should make the whole experience much easier to manage–every album for sale here is listed individually–one album, one listing. While I do have multiple copies of some titles, some of those are slated to be sold at conventions like Flashback Weekend or Horrorhound.

If you want to buy a title that you discover is out of stock, please drop me an e-mail to see if I have any additional copies. I’d be happy to hook you up with one when the are available. I also have record collector friends who may have copies to sell and I can pass you on to them if I’m currently out of stock on anything.

All vinyl and CD sales directly support Turntabling, so when you buy here you are helping to keep the site running. Many thanks to everyone who has been purchasing and supporting the site in the last couple of years–your love for this music is greatly appreciated.

And as usual, Turntabling continues to blog about all things related to enjoying records, collecting, playing and performing with them. I’ve never wanted this site to be a purely commerce-driven thing, which is why the record sales posts are interspersed with WTF album covers, gear reviews and writeups and other relevant posts.

Thanks, as always, for reading and supporting Turntabling.

Cleaning Vinyl Records…If You’re Really Brave

WTF?, , , ,

I can’t get into the notions I keep seeing on YouTube when it comes to how to clean vinyl records. Steam and wood glue seem to be popular with some, but I refuse to inflict such punishments on my record collection. I present this video as a curiosity…but if you’re REALLY tempted to give this a shot, may I suggest trying it on the most disposable record in your collection as a test first?
