The device is made of only cardboard and a sewing pin that acts as the needle. The package also includes a flexidisc containing three bonus tracks, which can be played on the turntable by rotating the disc by hand. The album itself is a nostalgic take on blues and hip-hop and the turntable addition is designed to invoke the old-time aspect of blues music and toy-building activities reminiscent of childhood, as well as forcing the listener to put in some work and attention in order to hear the music.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.springwise.com\/entertainment\/musician-offers-working-diy-cardboard-turntable-album\/\" target=\"_blank\">Musician offers working DIY cardboard turntable with album<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Buy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B008HAHO4U\/downandoutint-20\" target=\"_blank\">12-Bit Blues<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(<i>via <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Techdirt<\/a><\/i>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=b74a9a273837a25ff0c2613f98eb211e&#038;p=1\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=b74a9a273837a25ff0c2613f98eb211e&#038;p=1\"><\/a><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/tags.bluekai.com\/site\/5148\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/insight.adsrvr.org\/track\/evnt\/?ct=0:dupdmqp&#038;adv=wouzn4v&#038;fmt=3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/boingboing\/iBag\/~4\/PvKh0VEvRhA\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sent to you via Google Reader Kid Koala CD comes with a build-your-own-turntable kit and a flexidisc A Canadian musician called DJ Kid Koala has released a new album called 12-Bit Blues that comes with a kit for building your own miniature cardboard turntable, and a bonus two-track flexidisc to play on it.
