I’ve been meaning to pick up the Phoebe Bridgers record for some time now, and I've only ever heard of Black Belt Eagle Scout, so I'm stoked to finally give her a listen!!!

I also received a lovely card, and a badass N&G Christmas sticker!! Now to decide where to stick it...

Thanks so much, @gouis!!!


Also, my santee's final item still has not arrived... the package is going out as soon as it does though!
All the stickers are coming today!

Hope you didn’t miss the custom box everything came in!
 
every day i wake up hoping a package came from my santa

It'll happen! Now I am worried that my package isn't from my Santa. See I did this contest things and I am supposed to be mailed a super limited 7" record. Now I have reason to believe it may be that, but to be fair I think it's not. Is Zink Media Discogs because that's what it's labeld as coming from...
 
I hit the Santa lottery jackpot for another year.

Somehow all I’ve ever known about Joy Division is the art for this album, and the song “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” One of those bands that everyone cooler than me already seemed to know all about, and I never went back and educated myself more than a cursory glance at the history of the band. I’m looking forward to sitting with this and giving it my full attention.

As for Cat Power, I’ve been listening to her cover of Bill Callahan’s “Bathysphere” a lot lately and thinking that I needed to give her another proper listen (I’ve only ever skipped around digital versions of her albums before).

These are great choices, and exactly what I asked for: something meaningful to my Santa that they felt like I needed to have and listen to. Thank you so much!

Oh, and you may have noticed a very cool little extra in that pic. I don’t know how or where this came from, but now I have my own little Christmas-colored N&G logo sticker! YOU JELLY?

As for the identity of Santa? I have my suspicions:

Thank you @mcherry ;)
Yay I’m so happy you like the picks!
 
My package from Santa arrived yesterday. Three very different levels of awareness for me. I had listened to the advance singles for Planetarium and was excited for it but I guess life got in the way and I guess I never listened to the whole album? I've heard of Snarky Puppy and have never actively listened to them before but it feels like they may have popped up on the local NPR station before. And Ohmme is something I'm not familiar with at all! My favorite part of Secret Santa is discovering something new. Thanks @Heath!!!

hope you enjoy them! You were tough because every time I thought of something that would be a good pick you already had it in your collection :)
 
One more from my amazing Santa @feesrevenge! This just arrived, and it definitely brightened my day after dealing with sick kids for the past 24 hours (and being sick myself). I'm really pumped for this one, Herbie is probably the part of my jazz journey I'm most excited to explore. Thank you so much!

Ooohhh, did something else come in?? ;) It’s been tough for me not to ruin the surprise especially since it got delayed. I was stressing a little bit so glad it showed up today. Enjoy!!
