Hopefully the little messages I wrote were included!
Yep! They made it safe and sound! Love the “passing it on” idea to inspire Secret Santa gifts. Might have to steal that for next year.

For everyone else, the Slowdive record was my first SS gift (I think from @wokeupnew ?) and my wife is STILL obsessed with it. So I decided to keep the train going.Yep! They made it safe and sound! Love the “passing it on” idea to inspire Secret Santa gifts. Might have to steal that for next year.
Nice haul!Thank you so much Santa @Rip_City!!! I’ll be wearing my new shirt today and can’t wait to spin these 3 amazing selections. Sorry it’s taken me a while to post this - we just got home late last night. View attachment 190685
And thank you to Santa’s administrator, @THEEDADROCK.BLOG for putting this all together!
I love the shirt! But I admit that I always do a tiny little double take of the image...because I've been on the internet for too long.Thank you so much Santa @Rip_City!!!

Catching up a bit. Glad to see another Santa spreading that XTC ho ho hell yea! Indeed, Apple Venus is great. I've got the recent vinyl REs of Apple Venus and Wasp Star but picked this up years ago and love it:Glad to see it got to you safely.
The Van was what was opened and wrapped in a bag in a box direct from Amazon, so it appears to have a little more sleeve wear than it should have. While it's not the new Rhino release, it still is the older Kevin Gray cut, so it sounds really good. The XTC was a leftover from last Secret Santa that I had to order a 2nd one because the first didn't arrive in time...but it is my favorite XTC album and I think more people should own it. And with as much Wilco as you have, you needed some Uncle Tupelo to go with it.
SANTA IS HERE
first thing I want to say is that you did a great job of packing, individually wrapped gifts in turntable lab shippers and an Amazon box to avoid damage (though the Amazon box for get hit a bunch of certain the records are safe)

A fantastic album by the xx, probably one of the best debuts of the 2000s. And a new artist I never heard of before, but apparently according to the included note sounds similar to an act like the xx, and I do love electronic and dreamy landscapes
THANKS @cashew FOR THE FANTASTIC GIFTS,
A few years ago EVERYONE got that Phoebe Bridgers album Strangers in the AlpsI also received that Slowdive record as a SS gift a few years ago! Do we have stats or anecdotal data on the most gifted records?
I could possibly make the argument that the xx is one of the most influential indie pop albums of the last 2 decades... Like it clearly was an influence on lorde or Lana or the weeknd's aestheticsBoth @duke86fan and I got the xx debut this year! Makes sense because it’s a great album.
