N&G Secret Santa - 21

Ho ho hOMG!

Santa! Thank you so much for these beauties! First, we have Donald Byrd's Mustang! Really excited for this one, the line up is killer! Second, we have Nils Frahm's All Melody. I love Spaces and Nils' playing, it puts me in such a good mental place so this one is getting a lot of spins.

But the question remains, Santa, who are you? Thank you again!

hell ya. glad everything arrived ahead of the holiday.

I'm a huge Nils Frahm fan, so when I saw All Melody on your wishlist is was an easy snag for me. Noticed then you had a bunch of Donald Byrd...

(and just coincidentally the Discogs seller had some Byrd you didn't own as well, so let's just get you everything in one go)

Thanks again! Great work. I might need to pick your brain on other recs in the same vein as Nils. Happy holidays!

Got the first of two packages from a certain Mr. @Rip_City today, and wonder of wonders, it didn't contain a Squid record! :)

I'll confess I had a moment of panic over the Nick Cave because I've been slowly adding to that collection over the course of the pandemic (and, as previously noted, my discogs is in quite a state right now), but Rip pulled through on this one. One of the last remaining holes in my Bad Seeds-ography, filled.

Likewise, I almost ordered this Lucy Dacus record a few times and then ended up not (for no reason, I guess, because I never even streamed it), and forgot about it. A welcome surprise, and glad that my first listen will be on my own TT.

Good choices both! Many thanks @Rip_City !

Glad they got to you OK. Squid was on the precipice of my choices, to be fair. My college friend has been treated to my extra copy of that instead!

There will be one other in the coming days, hopefully delivered this week.

Opened this today after getting a delivery confirmation email from Levitation for the new Gizz. Had a quick moment of thinking I must have ordered everything I'd had in my cart, 😂 Because this one has been sitting in there and I just hadn't pulled the trigger yet. But it came from Santa @bfly! (I think, cause it was signed by @itsbfly who isn't on here 😁) Very excited to give this a spin, I've been in love with all the Levitation stuff I've heard and all the Black Angels too so I am very excited to start my collection with this one! I'm also jealous that it's a local festival for you! Gonna have to make a trip out there for this one day.

Part two arrived today! This awesome print also from Levitation. I really love all their stuff and this one is something my wife likes too, so great picking out @bfly!

I took a picture off the website because I don't want to damage it trying to flatten it. Gonna look into getting it framed if I can soon. Would look sick right above my turntable!

glad these ones made it to ya! I know we overlap in some threads here so I just took a whirl with some local friends on this part of the gift. sorry again for the lack of personal touch this year, but I know it's really all about the music and the community so I hope you enjoy it all the same 🖤 happy holidays.

I don't know if you've seen what they are. I had to ship direct from a store (Plaid Room), as I'm away at training and shopping was a pain.

I didn't go super deep. Just two classics from two different genres. One is my all time fave album by my fave artist and I saw you had one of their albums (their best selling and a fantastic album too - hopefully only having one album by them didn't mean you weren't looking for more). The other is also just a grade A killer listen.

I hope you enjoy them.

perfection! another year of you sweet N&G folks filling the glaring misses on my shelves. I absolutely love both of these albums and both of these artists, and just never got around to acquiring copies for myself. the Prince you saw in my discogs is actually courtesy of the absolute angel @AndySlash, so this feels fitting, and I think this Aphex Twin is one of the best audio tapestries of all time.

these will get plenty of spins for years, thank you so much for the killer picks 😘

Just got back from a trip to London & there is a lovely little package from Santa waiting for me. Thanks!! Really excited to listen to this one, I'm loving all the Colemine issues that I have.

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio has been one of my favourite discoveries of 2021 for sure - the journey started with this album right here. The only thing preventing this one from being my most spun/streamed album of the year is the fact that I also spent a great deal of time streaming and eventually spinning their first one too! Based on a perusal of your Discogs --particularly given that you have a couple of Jimmy Smith albums in your stacks-- and the quality of Colemine releases this felt like a solid choice. Originally this order contained a second record but there was a stock error on the website and that portion of the order was cancelled. While I was pondering what to get in its stead I was listening to something on the eve of its release and figured it was a great "taking a bigger chance" compliment to this one that I imagine you'll also enjoy -- sadly, as mentioned a bit more anonymously in a previous post, it is still listed as a pre-order with the shop I ordered it through. I'm hoping they get their stock and dispatch it your way soon, but I'm starting to doubt it will arrive by this weekend so I figured I'd reveal myself now. Happy return to the light!

PS - I ordered myself a copy of the other album a few days after yours - it's from a different seller and should be arriving soon. I'm going to keep it sealed up for now so I can send it your way if any funny business comes of the order that is supposed to be headed to you.
 
I received the most wonderful gifts today!!

@Memo thank you so much!!!!! I am so stoked on all three of these. I Need To Start A Garden is absolutely perfect because it’s been a go to for me for a couple of years now and I somehow still don’t own it. THANK YOU.

The Gregory Alan Isakov record is also perfect because I literally just started listening to his music this month!! The timing was perfect! And I don’t know much about The Milk Carton Kids yet but I’m so excited to listen to this. I owned one of their albums forever ago and never got around to listening to it, and I think I ended up gifting it. So again, this is perfect.

I couldn’t be happier!!

Ayyye! I was so nervous you owned most of these especially since you said your Discogs wasn’t updated! 😅
 
Hey friends, I did not participate in secret santa this year but opened a box of records today I didn't order nor was expecting. I just wanted to make sure some wires didn't get crossed and it was sent to me by accident. So if anyone ordered from Record Mule in Monterey CA please pm me so we can sort this out!

Thanks.

Was waiting until Christmas was closer to open up my gift from Santa, but thank you so much! These are amazing!

Downside is that there wasn’t a name on the note, so I don’t know who specifically to thank!

Merry Christmas!

Really glad to hear you like them! I spent a bit of time going through your posts and wantlist to choose a couple. I think you saw Perfume Genius live recently (which is a musician that I am unfamiliar with) and decided to pair with Bon Iver (whose music I love)!

It wasn't me, but that's my local! (Siren Records Monterey, but they go by Record Mule on discogs).

Love them! Bon Iver is a long, long-overdue addition to my collection. And I’m a huge Perfume Genuis fan, but didn’t have this one.

Thank you! Merry Christmas!
