N&G Secret Santa 2022

[panino]

OMG @panino!!

What an amazing secret santa you are! I have just recently gotten into Microdisney and therefore been super intrigued to check out Fatima Mansions!! I only knew about them from their split single with the Manics! And I love DMAs. They never play in the US so this will be a great listen for me. Thank you so so much!!

hey @McGlam, apologies for taking so long to respond!
I was out for few days!

I'm glad you're excited about the records included!
and as an Irish resident I could not miss your interest in the Irish punk-rock scene of the 80s-90s!

the recently deceased Cathal Coughlan of Microdisney has been revived in the latest Telefis release (top 10 record of the year by some Irish journos).

and to continue to inspire your exploration of Irish punk....



happy Christmas and have a great new year!

If anyone hasn't received their Santa present, please let myself or @THEEDADROCK.BLOG know and we can look into it. Haven't heard any rumblings, so hoping everything is wrapped up!

@Lee Newman will get a second album at some point too but right now it’s not apparent where the first attempt to get it to him is at!

I need to follow up with the post office but have been absolutely slammed at work this week. I'm super choked but I'll get you sorted one way or another!

Another gift from Santa @Ghost arrived today. Another new to me album that I am excited to dive into. Described as "Celestial Soul Music," which sounds fantastic. Will be a good record to throw on tonight after work. Thanks again for the generous gifts!

Woo! This one’s a great album that grew on me last year.

The story is apparently that Eddie was a one hit wonder in the 80’s and was brought out of hiding by a wonderfully talented composer and producer, John Carroll Kirby, who loved his music and begged Eddie to make a record with him. This was the result, they just finished up a European tour so it seems Eddie’s career revival is going well!

@Lee Newman its a Christmas miracle! I have your missing Santa record! After 9 months on the road it arrived back in Dublin and the store had it for me when I went to pick up the new Neil Young today! I’ll get it out to you again soon, this time to the right address…

I bet that record has been through some shit.

It’s seen things maaaaaaaaaaan

It’s sealed so can’t tell but it looks clean still from the outside!

It’s been around the world like Flat Stanley. Hopefully it’s still flat like Flat Stanley

Oh man! Flat Stanley! I’d forgot that fella. He was the man!

It’s a Tabakin record, isn’t it?

So after a trip from Dublin to your postman, who couldn’t decifer the one digit out on a house he delivers to daily, then back back to Dublin it is now on its way back to you again! Fingers crossed!

I don’t think my reliable postman works my route anymore. My package with Pale Jay was left on the post behind the box the other day which was a wild place to leave it.

Since we’ve resurrected this here thread, I figured I should finally give this a spin:

Anna Mieke - Idle Mind

This is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks Santa @Joe Mac
