If you weren’t able to make Flashback Weekend to score a copy of this ultra-limited edition Turntabling Records compilation CD, you’re in luck. It’s now available as a free MP3 download (13 individual tracks) for your listening pleasure.

All of these tracks may be distributed freely to music blogs, among friends, iPod players, etc. This compilation will be available in its entirety for a limited time only–several of these tracks will be taken down at a later date but many will remain available for the duration.

This compilation is made up of Turntabling Records projects and in a couple of instances, related material used with permission from our friends in these bands. This  is a compliation best enjoyed in the dark. Download and savor the strangeness:

Yes, we’ve gone over to the dark side here….but I do love the idea that you can update Twitter and the blog at the same time. I do love the simplicity of Twitter and actually thought it might replace blogging for a bit, but I see now the utter folly of that notion.

In other news, purchased the Criterion version of Border Radio, more on that after it arrives and I can review it. Two months ago I scored the once-rare vinyl LP soundtrack for the movie which features the Flesheaters, Divine Horsemen and Chris D. I love this movie and it’s even more fascinating now in light of the fact that the music business as depicted in Border Radio all at once no longer exists AND is the same as it ever was.

I love contradictions and dichotomies.

There is plenty of news about our label, Turntabling Records. We’ve got three new CDs planned for May/June 2009 and it looks like things are heating up in the recording studio once more for Paisley Babylon. The new albums include the first-ever wide release of a Post-Mortem Telepathy CD, plus Texas new wavers Goop are readying their toxic onslaught for May as well. Brace yourself! The tidal wave of tunes is coming…read all the relevant details and save your pennies for iTunes downloads coming soon.

Turntabling.net has become Turntabling Records! We’ll still be doing the usual blog posts but when there’s news on Turntabling Records releases, we’ll post them here. Turntabling Records will release material on vinyl and .mp3 and perhaps even CD if it’s convenient…but the shiny disc seems to be an endangered species, so who knows? Vinyl is much tastier. We’re very pleased to be serving up unusual music under the Turntabling banner and planned releases include several compilations, the resurrection of the American military/punk  sensation TOILET (formerly released on Zombie Records) and Opinion 8. Turntabling Records is a continuation of the now-defunct Zombie Records, which began in Texas in 1995.

We’re pleased to present our first release is Paisley Babylon’s Midnight Hallucinations, which you can buy on iTunes, CD Baby, Napster and elsewhere. Here are two sample tracks from Midnight Hallucinations for your listening, mashup and free distribution pleasure:

Paisley Babyon–Not a Hangover mp3 (may be freely distributed)

Paisley Babylon–Pavement and Broken Windscreen mp3 (may be freely distributed)

Buy Paisley Babylon’s Midnight Hallucinations on iTunes

…And here’s a bonus track from the ultra-rare Paisley Babylon release The Alpha Wave Variations:

Paisley Babylon–Alpha

Stay tuned for more information on Paisley Babylon and other Turntabling.net releases coming soon.
