N&G Secret Santa 2023

[Fillip J Phry]

Just realized I didn't post my guess in the excitement. @Matt M are you my Santa?

Picked up a mystery package today, and it was my Santa gift! Thank you SOOOO much fellow Oregonian! Lots of cool PNW related stickers, and a sweet Kishi Bashi poster to boot. As for the albums, rest assured Santa, you killed it. All three artists have been in my backlog of artists to check out, now I have a perfect reason to stop procrastinating!

Side note: I didn't realize N&G had stickers.

I have a guess on who your Secret Santa is given the choices and stickers

This is a nice haul (based on that selection, my guess is @Matt M )That GBV and Tortoise are excellent pressings too.

Santee friendo is making me wait this out since my package was delivered two days ago

Believe this is from my Secret Santa! I know the New Pornographers album and enjoy it, only know Shellac by reputation. Thanks for the generosity!

It was me! Great to hear you like them.

One of the downsides on living on the other side of the world is I can't personalise the package, so apologies for the lack of stickers or note. I spent some time with your wishlist, and the New Pornographers stood out as a band we both like. I have this one on CD, and I really enjoy it. I felt I didn't know enough (anything!) about The Dead to go down that section of your wishlist!

Shellac is the one from me. I love this album, from the packaging to the content, and it's a proper "vinyl" album, if that makes sense. My path into them was the next step after getting into the second wave of emo from this time - I saw some of that in your collection, but not this, so I though I'd let you have a free shot at them!

Hope you enjoy your time with the albums, and your Christmas. Apologies again for the bare-bones package.

Thanks for the records! No need to apologize at all, it was thoughtful and appreciated!

Merry Christmas!

Seeing your collection I thought these would be a fit, was hoping everything was in there so I wasn't doubling you up. Enjoy the entry into these great bands!

I thought that was probably the case, but wanted to make sure it hadn't fallen prey to the roving bands of porch pirates. Thanks for the update

Looks like my package for ??? Is out for delivery today!

 

[Wes C. Attle]

Received today from Santa! Will you look at these beautiful picks?!



This is exactly what I hope for; selections that I’ve been missing out on but makes complete sense that I’d love them. Already got the xtc playing now! Appreciate the letter and the patch, very awesome addition to my collection of patches and coins that I’ve received from people I’ve met in all the places I’ve lived.

Knocked it out of the park, @Lord Diaper Baby© , thanks so much!!

 

[Mtcvinyl]

Let’s follow that up by thanking @Wes C. Attle for these awesome gifts!



I truly hadn’t heard of Truly but this seems right up my alley. And the Muffs and Fountains of Wayne are spot on picks!

The Praline Pecans were a nice touch and my daughter is currently devouring the bag.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

You can’t go deciding that people’s wet legs are fun.

Simply like this post, I'll pull a winner on Sunday and send you a record.

Happy holidaze!
