Santa really knocked it outta the park, I'm so immeasurably grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity! Cannot wait to get to spinning this trifecta of stone cold classics!

Wet Leg - S/T
Cheap Trick - at Budokan
Night Beats - Who Sold My Generation

Thank you, thank you, thank you @Fillip J Phry !!

Awesome, glad to see it arrived! Hope you were able to read my handwriting!
 
Well, this was super exciting to see in my mailbox!!

Thanks so much, Santa! I'm not familiar with either of these albums but the liner notes and a quick online search tells me they look like the exact kind of music that I will enjoy! Polish and Brazilian jazz, Santa really traveled for these!

Looking forward to digging into them over the weekend! Huge thanks again!!

These look great! I do enjoy finding new and interesting music, and since I have not heard of either of these, it will be a wonderful listening experience.
Everything but the girl - Fuse
Cesaria Evora - Cafe Atlantico

Oh, from your note, I am supposed to know/guess who you are? :p

Even if I don't know, these are great! Thank you very much! And happy holidays!

I thought for sure Cesaria Evora and Cafe Atlantico would give it away. I was stanning it a while back. It's one of my favorite finds of the last decade and I hope you like it too.

Happy Holidays!

Santa @Mtcvinyl landed! I have been meaning to pick up that portishead (the only one I don’t have!) and that violent femmes, so getting them out the blue made me go “what? No way!” Out loud, and I’ve been meaning to check out that Jenny Lewis so I’m looking forward to that! Thanks and it was really fun doing pifsgiving with you too!

I love that Sneaky Jesus, probably going to make my top 10 for this year. If you dig it, check out their first album For Joseph Riddle, which I reckon is even better.

Amazing, I was hoping this Secret Santa would open up some new recommendations. I will listen to their first album after spinning this one, cheers.
 
@ModernCyrus Dude, you knocked it out of the park on this one. All three of these records are ones that I’ve been about to purchase many different times but for one reason or another I put it off for another time, even down to the Zelda Lo-Fi record. Thank you so much for going above and beyond here.

Cleaning Zelda now and starting the day with some chill vibes before ramping up towards Kendrick! Also you’ve officially completed my Kendrick discography :D. Love this time of year, thank you my friend ❤️

It has arrived! Killer picks from @LeeVing Thank you! Excellent work! Excited to get into some of your favorites. 🙏🎅

Glad to see it got to you safely.

The Van was what was opened and wrapped in a bag in a box direct from Amazon, so it appears to have a little more sleeve wear than it should have. While it's not the new Rhino release, it still is the older Kevin Gray cut, so it sounds really good. The XTC was a leftover from last Secret Santa that I had to order a 2nd one because the first didn't arrive in time...but it is my favorite XTC album and I think more people should own it. And with as much Wilco as you have, you needed some Uncle Tupelo to go with it.

I asked my brother if he listens to XTC or has heard Apple Venus:
