As if having John Cougar Mellencamps autograph adorning our beautiful brick wall wasn't awesome enough, did we have to go and get Tom Jones' autograph to maximize the stores cosmic awesomness? Well, the answer is, YES! Come on in to the Northampton store and check it out in all it's regal glory.
The White Stripes' new album "ICKY THUMP" came out this past Tuesday. It's here, it's awesome, it's rad. Check it out. Listening to Jack White shred on guitar makes Steve Vai want to go take guitar lessons...from Jack White. It's like listening to an asteroid smashing into your face while your on Mars. It's that good.
Wilco. You like em. You're most likely goin' to see em at The Pines this Sunday. Well, do ya have the new album? Do ya? Well, if you don't, you should get it, so you can sing every word emenating fromMr. Tweedys talented mouth. Imagine, you, your arm around your best girl (or dude), underneath the towering majesty of the Pines; it's summer. The luminous intertwining guitar harmonics of Tweedy and co. blasting through your soul at 10,000 MPH, elevating your spirit to heights unimaginable by mortals. Yes, this is Wilco in a nutshell. This is scientifically proven, by wicked smart scientists.
Do you ever catch yourself singing "Mr. Blue Sky"....then a tear drop falls from your eye? Well, you gotta get youself down to Turn it Up and pick up a copy of Electric Light Orchestra's "OUT OF THE BLUE" CD, newly remastered and sounding just as thick and rich as you remember it. While your at it, why not pick up other ELO titles, newly remastered..."NO ANSWER", "ON THBE THIRD DAY", "A NEW WORLD RECORD", plus more. Isn't Jeff Lynne awesome?
Whew...too much radness for one blog to handle.
And Remember, Turn it Up Loves YOU

Apart from the boatload of hot new releases in the store, and on the horizon, tons of radness is happening at turn it up! Northampton lately.
Did someone say tons of awesome jazz? Yup. We said that. Come and check it out. Snap your fingers and wear cool hats, cats.
We've got your new Wilco, your new White Stripes and much more. Next week, the new Ryan Adams. I'm a big Ryan Adams fan and from what I hear, this is a pretty consistent and rootsy record, more like his earlier ones. That's music to my ears. Literally.
too sweet. New Richard Shindell in stock big time, along with the new Nico reissue "frozen borderline". People go apey for Nico and so they should.
We also have tons of DVDs. Good ones too.
If you need to impress your friends with how hard you rock, come check out our Grand Funk section. We've got it all dude. Plenty of Nuge too, including Damn Yankees and "Great Gonzos".
It is important to show your friends that you rock harder and more often than they do and we can help you do that.
New Prince album soon. It will be great. That new single "Guitar" is classic Prince and I'm sure the album will rock the party hard.
Remember, we've got Green River Festival tickets if you haven't got yours yet. It would stink to be the only chump missing out on the concert of the year. We don't want that to happen to you.
Finally, in parting, I would like to point out that no one yet has stepped up to the "Prince Challenge" we issued a few months back. Check out the "Hot VHS Deals" section to see if you have what it takes. It will take a great deal of funkiness.
Come on down and check the deals, rock out and have fun.
