N&G Secret Santa 2024

[Hemotep]

@Krampus' #1 Diaper Baby absolutely killed it. They said my discogs wantlist 404'd so they were flying blind. So I ended up with DIIV's latest Frog In Boiling Water (one of my favorites this year that I hadn't picked up yet), Gene Clark's White Light (an album I've heard of but not listened to yet), some Grateful Dead playing cards, a Sigur Ros and Grateful Dead magnet, a sheet of taco cat stickers (already a huge hit with my kids), an insignia from their Air Force unit and a postcard outlining everything. Absolutely stoked to dive in! Thanks again Ben!!!

That DIIV album is so good. Definitely one of my favorites of the year too. Doesn't it have a really cool booklet in there too?

And to my Santee- I am still awaiting your items to arrive at the North Pole, but once they are received they will be dispatched to you post haste

Yeah it's pretty unique. It's about half the normal size until you open it and has lots of interesting art.

The album is slowly becoming my favorite of theirs which I didn't expect initially

Glad you liked it. I'm glad to hear you did not already have the DIIV (I felt that might be a gamble). I was less worried about the Gene Clark, but to be fair this forum keyed me onto the album and the Intervention Records pressing a couple years back so it was a possibility.

Good to see everything got to you safely. Happy holidays!

Thanks @YoHabloEspanol.. sorry I was busy at work today so I didn't get the mail on time

It's cool that Amazon lets you special wrap or though



2 great albums from Lorde (who made the best song of this year), can't wait to see how they sound on lp

Sorry I couldn't wrap them myself.
Enjoy the music. Lorde is fire emoji and you needed those albums in your collection.

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

All of the albums I ordered arrived early so mail day will either be tomorrow or friday depending on how long I am at work tomorrow!!!

 

[Nee Lewman]

I’ve got everything in hands. Now to wrap and package and go to the post office!

Expect very nice wrapped records from this guy. I saved the wrapping for other presents.

My wife would disagree! lol. Her’s look like store presents. Crazy bows and shit. Everytime we watch Elf and Zoe goes “that’s impossible.” She goes “it is not!”

 

[duke86fan]

¿Her colab with Charli?

Yep

Her verse was emotionally powerful


Also nothing wrong with not wrapping your order, I know I'm not

 

[avecigrec]

Her verse was emotionally powerful

Every damn time!

I have been wrapping presents in aluminum foil for a long time. Just wrinkled kitchen foil, extended again and placed around. Add a bow. Done.

Unrelated but I didn't notice the pun in your note until after I got it, shoulda tipped me off
