Santa @Thackeraye thank you for your gifts! Love the thought and idea behind them and the effort to get them to me from Oz!

I was busy last night but i promise to post a pic and some thoughts tonight when I get home! Sadly I don’t think I’ll get to listen to them this side of Christmas but I can’t wait to dig into them in the new year!
No worries, and I'm glad they got to you safe and well. Hope you have a great Christmas.
 
Looks like Santa came to visit! Seems like my anonymous Santa (according to the note) also needs a new printer, lol.

Anywho, great albums for me, love Aesop Rock of course, ever since Impossible Kid. Van Halen is a great pick, definitely needed it to round out their discog in my collection. Demon’s Souls OST is a funny one. I love the soundtrack to this game but if this one never gets ported to anything other than PS5 (which will NEVER happen), it’s probably a game I’ll never actually get to play for myself, since I only have an Xbox, and don’t exactly have money to blow on another console and game. Guess I’m stuck watching playthrough videos online of that one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Glad to have been visited by Santa as it’s been a little tough getting into the jolly spirit this year with some personal things that happened right before the holidays started. Have a feeling these can help though. Thanks Santa!

Now reveal yourself!
This was me!!!

I normally would have put a little more work into picking out and wrapping the records myself but I knew it was going to be logistically more difficult to get them to you so from Amazon they came. However I completely forgot to put in a gift receipt/message when I checked out. So surprise!! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

¡Muchas gracias my friend!
¡You knocked it out of the park!

Sorry about the delivery delay. It takes about a week to ship from Miami to Paraguay.
 
Santa delivered!

Excited to dive into the new tunes. I've heard good things about this Pumpkins album too. We'll see if I'm a vocal jazz guy as well lol

Thanks @Hemotep ! My wife said, Imhotep!? The guy from the mummy!? No, not that one...
I hope you like them! That Strands album has been one I keep coming back to lately and the Pumpkins album is a surprising return to form with the guitar heavy focus again. The vocal jazz was just a bonus from my stack of records I wasn't listening to. Thought I might as well share it to see if it clicks for someone else. It can always be traded for something better at your local too!
