N&G Secret Santa - 2020

[ranbalam]

Dear Santee,
You package is going out UPS today...I am too frustrated with USPS to go with media mail. Initial tracking says it should arrive Wednesday. I shipped it from my workplace so the return address will possibly confuse you. Open it anyway.

I think this is a first actually, I have a strange memory recall for the random and I think I can name all my Santa’s but then again you might be right

And thanks again - What made you go for the Young Marble Giants pick, is it an album your familiar with and wanted to share the love ?

I learned about it recently and found it quite interesting, after looking at your collection I just thought it would fit in perfectly.

Well I’ve cleaned it on the vinyl vac and spun it already, sounds bloody great !

The last two packages include my Santee were sent UPS. I agree not dealing with that chaos!!

And looked what arrived. Thank you so much @sarcasticfairyprincess This has been on my list to pick up forever and for some reason I’ve never bought it. This will get a lot of play as it has some of favorite Tyler songs like Dead Man’s Curve and Follow You To Virgie.View attachment 80186

You are so very welcome! I love me some Tyler and knew I had to get this for you.

 

[Piratenovelist]

It’s that time to guess what the package is! I ordered stuff that should be coming out now on top of possibly Santa sending to me.... wonderful time to be tracking things eh?

 

[scotthilk]

Santa, if you got me, don’t stress about anything shipping related. In no rush what so ever!

 

[Piratenovelist]

Will be posting the updated list so far of what everyone got to make sure I have it all for the epic playlist

Santa has arrived at the @panino house!
And it is a fire in the shape of a fantastic (and difficult to find) record!

the package arrived from Germany, but I'm not convinced this Santa is German....

My Santa's package has arrived from overseas!
Pictured is:

K Frimpong - Backed By Vis-A-Vis
Ill Considered - VI
Shabaka and the Ancestors - Wisdom of Elders
Handwritten note with explanations + recs

Looks like the K Frimpong record is a standout afrobeat/highlife record. My collection lacks records representing world music outside of Japan, so I am very much excited to hear what this sounds like!
Ill Considered seems to be a London jazz band, and my Santa was so kind to get a first pressing, indicated by the hand numbering on blank white label (ltd. 300)!!! Extremely thoughtful and also doubles as feedback for how I can improve my gifts for next year's SS.
Lastly, I am very familiar with Shabaka and the Ancestors from their release this year - We Are Sent Here By History. Pictured above is the debut, which I have not listened to yet! Excited to dive in.

A very thoughtful package overall. Overseas Santa, I am appreciative and I'm very thankful. If I had to guess your identity, are you @Poly-Rythmo? Only guessing because of your known affinity for African and jazz music. Whoever you are, thank you!!!

What a killer set! Ill Considered is one of the most underrated contemporary jazz groups in my opinion, they have been killing it for years. If you like what you hear, check out their sister group, Wildflower!

Hope you like em! I tried to find albums that I love and also seem like they’d be up your alley. Going through your Discogs collection was fun - I kept thinking of ideas and then needed to page through countless pages again to see if you already had it

Sorry. I try to remember to keep it sorted by alphabet this time of year and usually fail.

Santee, your package was supposed to be delivered today but it looks like it didn't make it yet! It still says in transit, never even went Out For Delivery. Hopefully you'll have it tomorrow!!!

 

[D Jilla]

Sorry. I try to remember to keep it sorted by alphabet this time of year and usually fail.

Ha, sorry, that made it seem like I was complaining. I meant it actually was fun seeing all the stuff in your collection and going through it. It was like hunting through a virtual record store!

I’m pretty sure I (any outside user) can do column sorting on artist/title, but I don’t think you can search within someone else’s collection (at least I couldn’t figure it out). Maybe you can in the app, but I deleted that long ago.

Dear Santee,
Crazy week - never ended up shipping the first package as I intended last week.
I managed to get one of the items I was waiting on today and expecting the others Wednesday - earlier than I expected. I'm just going to wait until I get everything and ship Priority.
