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!

I'm your Santa! Glad to see that you liked the gifts, and hope that things get better. Pretty funny about the Demon Souls, I saw it on your wantlist and jumped at the opportunity to gift a vidya game OST. Tried to do it in the past, but they're often way out of the budget unfortunately. Can't remember if I mentioned in my note, but I'm also an Aesop fan since The Impossible Kid. Glad to hear you didn't have this one!
 
Well lookie what we’ve got here…

Chris Cornell - No One Sings Like You Anymore
Living Colour - Vivid
Wooden Shjips - Wooden Shjips

Though he only hinted at his identity via his exquisite self portrait, I would like to thank fellow Central Illinoisan @manonkouch for the wonderful Christmas gifts! All three of the above listed titles will fit in nicely with the rest of my collection.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Pal!

Some absolute heat arrived from @AndySlash this afternoon! Honestly perfect picks. I just dived into The Cure's discography this year - late, I know - and welcome their masterpiece to my Discog. (Disagree with your take on Friday, I'm in Love, tho😉) As for Low, this record is very special to me - I was at their second to last show ever at Pitchfork in 2022, and this album became kind of synonymous with that crazy year for me.

Thanks a ton, friend, and happy holidays!

Hey Santa!
Thank you for the thoughtful selections, and the nice note describing what and why. The timing was perfect too, as I was doing a Spin-cleaning session today, so I checked the porch and there was the box. Really happy to get more Cake in my collection, and the other two sound right up my alley.
I don't know who you are though, do I? I know you're from NC.

Thanks again, happy holidays!

My guess is @RoxCity

He turned me on to the funkfest that is The Brief Encounter a few years back as a Secret Santa gift.

Good people there in the Tar Heel State.

This arrived in the post today, wondering if it's from Santa? Listened to this online earlier in the year and really enjoyed it, so happy to have it on vinyl. Thanks Santa, if it is from you!

Well I don’t know who my Santa is. I’m think maybe one present is a hint? Anyhow, the present was so awesome, I just dispatched bonus presents…

I still felt bad about that record getting cancelled a couple of years ago and figured you might like this here record.
