Vinyl Blogs To Love: Vinyl Record Architect

Advice, Blogs, , ,

I tend to share about fellow vinyl bloggers based on my discovery of them–the first time I find ’em and get excited about reading them, I wind up passing them along here. Paul Rosenblatt’s excellent Vinyl Record Architect is no exception. I found this blog recently and got hooked right away thanks to his post detailing a visit to Pittsburgh’s Sound Cat Records.

It reads a lot like our own Vinyl Road Rage posts, so I was naturally happy to see someone else detailing their record shop experiences, turning the rest of us on to new-to-use places to dig through the crates.

Rosenblatt’s bio on the site reads (unintentionally) a bit like a superhero About Us page–by day, he works as an architect as the head of Springboard Design. By night he’s a vinyl blogger and definitely in love with LPs and has plenty of good intel on Philly record shops and more.

Without gushing too terribly much, I highly recommend this vinyl blog–my only gripe is that I wish there was 2000% more of it. But it’s a damn fine read, whatever the length. He seems to post a bit more frequently than Dust and Grooves, but the posts are every bit as enjoyable. One to be bookmarked, for sure.

Where’s The Turntabling Collection?

For Sale, Turntabling Records, , , ,

Some have wondered where The Turntabling Collection has been hiding. Since getting back from Cinema Wasteland, the collection has been offline while we worked on a few shows and events; DJing at OhNo! Doom Gallery, creating videos and writing music all has taken a bit of time.

But I’m happy to announce the impending return of vinyl sales to Turntabling–there are some things in the works that should expand the collection and how much is for sale here at any given time.

Selling music here is a fundraising activity for Turntabling–if you’ve ever bought a vinyl record or CD from us, you’ve directly supported the site, and for that we thank you. Over the last three years many, many people have helped us thrive and grow with their purchases and we would NOT be here without you. Stay tuned…there are some important developments in the works in our vinyl and CD department.

Where Will You Be On Record Store Day 2012?

Events, , , , ,

This Saturday, April 21st, is Record Store Day, which in our view should be a national holiday. There will be a glorious Turntabling excursion around Chicago hitting plenty of favorite haunts including Laurie’s Planet of Sound, Dusty Groove, Reckless Records, and many others.

There is so much goodness on vinyl for sale in Chi-town, and so many wonderful shops that it’s impossible to count them all. Granted, not all of them choose to participate in Record Store Day madness, but many do and we are quite grateful for that.

Support your local record store this Saturday, and if you’re on the fence about buying vinyl this weekend, perhaps you’d be convinced by none other than Mister Johnny Rotten himself, in this interview clip courtesy of TheQuietus.com. Lydon still knows how to stir things up, and employs the blarney quite well here. He goes on and on about Record Store Day but manages to loop in Julie Andrews, Guy Fawkes, riots, and his mum & dad.

See you in the shops on Saturday!
