I really like that JD McPherson album.

So, I *think* there is a connection between our N&G AOTM - Nicole Atkins and JD McPherson. I *think* Nicole's husband works for JD. And why yes, I sure am using this as an opportunity for a shameless plug for Nicole's album. :)
 
Just got home from a little getaway, and another package made its way to me:

Santa told me it was one of their favorite records and they hoped I didn't have it...

Well....I LOVE SHARON JONES, but DID NOT HAVE THIS ONE! :)

Awesome gifts secret santa! Feel free to reveal yourself if you wish so I can thank you again :) But I loved all the gifts!!!
 
Dear Santa,

This is truly wonderful! Thank you so much! You are awesome!

Eels - Beautiful Freak
Detroit Rising - A Cosmic Jazz Funk Adventure
Local Natives - Vinyl Gratification
Chvrches - Project Unfollow

Plus some delicious candy, some fantastic vinyl coasters, and something more to come?!

I love it all. Thank you very much, you're the very best!

So my package for my Santee is at the regional delivery USPS network. It was supposed to be delivered today but I guess that’s not happening. I was extremely worried because I didn’t see ANY movement but “it’s in transit to the destination” until Saturday when it was updated. So hopefully it’s delivered tomorrow or worst case scenario Thursday 🤞🤞🤞
 
The final part of my Secret Santa present arrived today!!

I recognized the cover but had never heard the album before. I just got finished spinning it and it's really good. Bonus points as my wife even commented on how much she enjoyed it. Thanks so much for everything, @blissfullychaotic you've been a wonderful Santa.

To Santa,

You knocked it out of the park. MBDTF is one of those "why the heck don't I own this" records that is one of those fun albums that fits in the middle of the Venn diagram of stuff my wife and I both enjoy. And that Blu & Exile record! I haven't listened to that one in YEARS. I remember really digging it when I was in college back when it first came out. Thank you so much. Wishing you a happy holidays to you and your family. (Feel free to reveal yourself either on here or via DM - You didn't list your forum handle anywhere)

- Matt

Secret Santa strikes again! Upon looking at the packaging further, I'm thinking @Joe Mac sent this.

Repost from status update:

Someone abroad sent me a copy of "The Gloaming." The packaging took quite a beating so I have no idea who sent it- album is good though. Whoever sent this- thank you!

Guilty as charged!

it was fun picking your Secret Santa! I thought to get you two albums by acts that I thought we would both like. I thought that Harrison and Fleetwood Mac fitted the bill! The only dilemma was a 70s double of Tusk and Living in the Material World or the 80s double that I settled on in the end!

The third was something that I was going to be getting for whomever I got as Santee. Both because my favourite bit of the forums has been the AoTMs and because it was my pick and album of the year.

Because I’m over here I bought them all from amazon but I think that one came from a marketplace seller based in Europe, it’s a pity they didn’t package it correctly but it sounds like it survived the trip luckily!

I’m glad that you seemed to enjoy them all and hope you and yours have great Christmas 😀
