N&G Secret Santa 2024

[Wes C. Attle]

Secret Santa showed up last night and just got to opening it this morning! Thanks to @Wes C. Attle for the amazing gifts, these three were all things I've wanted and just hadn't picked up. Much appreciation to you for everything around here, I'm always finding titles you post that I end up picking up. It's going to be a power pop leaning season. This place and you all are the best!

Hope you enjoy them! It blows my mind how quickly the mail moves from my corner to yours but moves like a snail to anywhere else.

Picked up a package from the PO box!
Will open once I get home!

Yeah, I seem to get Florida as fast as anywhere

Santee, package is headed your way, just got home from the post office. Also, hope you like Hanson!

“Mmmbop” is one of the best things the Dust Brothers did in the 90s.

What's that Silver Sun? Is it a power pop album? I'm not familiar with the band.

Thank you mysterious Secret Santa!!
You just knocked out a bunch of wishlist items. ¡¡Muchas gracias!!



Now reveal yourself!

Yeah they were a British power pop band in the 90s (although I think they’re still going). The record is produced by Nigel Godrich. It’s a fun one!

Ooh, that's a belter of a Secret Santa! Great choices.

Lead singer passed away a couple of years ago, unfortunately. That album, and the singles around it, are brilliant.

What do ZZ Top, LCD Soundsystem, James Brown, and the Butterfield Blues Band have in common?



Besides a serious dedication to dancefloor ready boogie down grooves from disparate reaches of the popular music spectrum, each of these fine releases was part of an incomparably rad Secret Santa delivery!

Thank you so much, @ranbalam! You're a scholar and a gentleman! I'll be taking a break from the Christmas jams to spin these massive slabs right away

Happy holidays to you and yours!

Dear Santa,

I got your package today and I love it but... my power got knocked out by a storm and it may be another couple days before I have electricity again... So once my life goes back to semi-normal I'll be spinning and sharing your awesome selections!

Did California secede already? I figured they’d wait until at least Trumps 3rd term in office to do that.

@avecigrec is in Canada but @LeSamourai is in Cali.

Oh, is @avecigrec @LeSamourai ’s Secret Santa?

I just assume it hadn’t been revealed since @LeSamourai addressed his post as “Dear Santa” but I mighta missed something, it wouldn’t be first time.

no, i've no idea who got whom for santa (until it gets posted here), I just mixed up usernames; I am not real great at that.
i've been mixing up Lee and Jamie ever since they both started using Bowie profile pics, for example

So glad it arrived safely, and earlier than projected!
Glad you like the selections, cheers!

Right!

Only @jamieanderson1968 and @sonicpharmacistshould be allowed Bowie related avatars every time Lee posts it takes me a minute to realize it’s not Jamie.

Same goes for David Byrne themed avatar should only be allowed for @gafacaode and @Turbo everyone else is gonna throw me off.
