I'm not saying this is or is not who your SS is. All I'm saying is that this album was part of the listening club not too long ago! And it's quite a good album. Huge nostalgia vibes.

The N&G Listening Club V1 - Archive only

The selection this week is Gotye - Like Drawing Blood. My last turn, I chose Wax Tailor - Tales of the Forgotten Melodies, which pretty much everyone seemed to love; this album is about as known, about the same age, and actually reminds me a bit of Wax Tailor, it has some similar...

I thought someone might recall the listening thread (good memory @Teeeee )
I had a good look thru ur Discogs collection whilst also wanting to pass on something you probably didnt know.
I think the stars alligned somewhat as this could be right in your wheelhouse. I also like it a lot.

Sorry not too much of a personal touch but had to use US Seller - Got one of the two left available !
You also get to be first recipient of a “Happy Christmas” from me.
Enjoy

Back in September there was so much going on I wasn't as active in many threads as I should've been, I can't wait to pour a cold one and give this a listen! I'm happy to be your first santee(? not quite sure what I am called in this instance)! Checked out his wiki and saw post-punk so this seems like it will be a perfect match! Thanks for thinking of me during the holiday season <3
 
I'm still in the anxiety-stricken "which record(s) do I choose for them?!" phase, my sweat-drenched mouse hovering over first this, then that album, adding them to carts, then removing them to continue on the quest for the One True Record, forged by the elder elves in pressing plants of the ancient kingdom and said to bring such joy to the listener that all cares and worries melt like the snows of of the mountains under the summer sun.
 
Dear Santa,

I couldn't have expected a better surprise when I came back to work today after a few sick days!

I was listening to some of its tracks digitally yesterday, and thought it should definitely be the next item to fetch from my wantlist. Looks like you read my mind!

Thanks again, this one will definitely spin on the turntable tonight!

NB: it was super carefully packed btw (Blake sleeve, bubble wrap, double cardboard, and corner protection!)

Yes! It made it safe and sound. This was my first time sending something internationally and I was so nervous I was going to make a mistake. I had an anxiety dream where it arrived but was just an empty mailer!

Happy holidays from your TrickySanta
 
Santeeeeeeeeeee???
Can you hear me??????????

your packages will arrive separately.
One (Package Part 2) should be with you today, tomorrow or monday at the latest.
It has no tracking since I sent it myself, and this is normally how long it takes from Ireland to your country.
A second package (Package Part 1) should be with you on Wednesday. The good amigos of Amazon took over 10 days to finally ship and delivery is estimated for the 11th.

If you are good, maybe (maybe) a third package could also be added.
Santa's little bird will report to me soon.
 
Dear Santee. The international guy was unwilling to take payment and send in your home country. I get it but still, fuck him. For the same money I got the same record shipped locally and can just post it myself with some personal touches. Thing is, local fuckhead still has to get it to me and he's not moving quickly. At any rate, I'm anxious about whether or not I can get it to you by Christmas!

Oh man, I am playing a waiting game right now too.
I ordered two copies of the same album, one from Germany and one from France, and right now it's a race to see which arrives first.
Whichever does goes to my Santee... but I have no idea how long it takes for these things to arrive in Connecticut from Europe!

I'm just guessing: your Santee is interested in music that is not widely available or even pressed in the US?
