N&G Secret Santa - 2020

[Matt M]

Ready for my Santee to get their gift! Hopefully the next day or two, left the big city post office mid day today.

You should enjoy Coriky. It’s like The Evens with a little extra kick!!

Nice, that's the one I plan to spin first.

That Coriky record slaps

 

[Eriatarka]

OK Santee, your gift has finally shipped

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Finally - the last record for my Santee has made an appearance. Full package going out tomorrow.

I'll include a Valentine's Day card also just in case it takes that long to get there.

Santa outdid themselves! I couldn’t be happier!

First, the records individually wrapped in llama paper:

Here’s what was inside:

Excited about all of these - definitely been meaning to check out Coriky so happy about that, plus probably my favorite High on Fire (I have none on wax either way), a great Jerry, and the one Cocteau Twins album I don’t think I’ve even heard.

Finally, some stickers for good measure and a note (with a clue to Santa’s identity?)

Santa hails from Vegas, so I’m thinking it’s either @Ginormousthumbs or @girlnevergoesout - based on the use of “ginormous” in the note, I’m guessing it’s ‘thumbs??

IT WAS ME, you are welcome!!!!

hahahahaha I guess he already claimed it was him. I was too late.

Dear Santee,

After all, it seems two packages shipped at the beginning of the month but both are delayed. You should receive your Secret Santa gifts any day now. I hope you'll love what you'll receive

 

[panino]

every day I check on this thread and I am amazed by this forum's members generosity and Christmas cheer!

I love this!

 

[cbl]

should be on it's way. may've over-spent...poor conversion math

 

[ranbalam]

Santee,
Tracking says you got the package via UPS yesterday, Merry Christmas!

 

[McGlam]

This arrived last night, but I just saw it this morning! What a great way to start my Thursday and such a generous gift from my too kind Santa @ranbalam!

I loved the most recent Michael Kiwanuka album but haven't gotten around to checking out much of his back catalog yet. The Dexter Gordon has been on my wantlist for a while, I'm not very familiar with his music so I'm super excited to finally check it out. I've seen the Thelonious Monk album before, but no NOTHING about it. Excited to go in blind on that one and based on my Santa's enthusiasm for it I'm sure it will be a winner!

Awesome, so glad it arrived safely! (and timely; UPS is highly recommended this year for those of you that can use them easily)
If you like MK's latest I'm sure you'll like Love & Hate, and yeah, I absolutely love that Monk and Coltrane.
Cheers!

SANTA!!! You beautiful human being!
This has been on my waitlist for years! My wife will also be happy!

Glad you enjoy the Adrianne Lenker and Buck Meek, and The King of Country.

 

[kvetcha]

I definitely feel like I should have gone a little bigger. So many accessories! I forgot to even include a note.

Apologies to my Santee. I'll be better next year.

I feel like my little card wasn’t enough that I added!
