Damn, look @ all these amazing gifts!
N&G Secret Santa - 2020
- Thread starter Needles & Grooves
- Start date
The mail came in with a very pleasant surprise for me
Chairlift - does you inspire you
Very pleasantly surprised by this pick, I never heard any of chairlifts stuff beyond Caroline Polacheck's "Pang" last year, I had heard "Romeo" and "Ch-Ching" off their final album and enjoyed those songs and hearing Caroline's voice on blood orange Cupid deluxe when I finally got to that was fantastic. Very excited to see how I feel about this
Also on white vinyl which is cool

To my Santee - overjoyed with these picks! I've got The Cooker on the turntable now and it sounds fantastic - this is the first Blue Note Tone Poet release I've gotten. And I'm totally unfamiliar with Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes, which is exactly the kind of discovery I wanted to get.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
I wish I got my santa a tone poet, I did get them something almost as good though. Hope you enjoy the tone poets and Kevin's mastering

My Santa gift arrived today. Actual unboxing follows:
It was not record shaped... I was immediately intrigued
Seems I may be on the naughty list...
Good things come in small packages, right? Right?
A sinking feeling right about now but I open it anyway, hoping against hope.
Seems I made the actual naughty list and not the kind that ends with clothes strewn about.

Santa outdid themselves! I couldn’t be happier!
First, the records individually wrapped in llama paper:
Here’s what was inside:
Excited about all of these - definitely been meaning to check out Coriky so happy about that, plus probably my favorite High on Fire (I have none on wax either way), a great Jerry, and the one Cocteau Twins album I don’t think I’ve even heard.
Finally, some stickers for good measure and a note (with a clue to Santa’s identity?)
Santa hails from Vegas, so I’m thinking it’s either @Ginormousthumbs or @girlnevergoesout - based on the use of “ginormous” in the note, I’m guessing it’s ‘thumbs??

One of the records I ordered for my Santee didn't look like it was going to arrive til well after Christmas, so I replaced it with something else and sent it away. Figured I'd do something else with it when it finally came, but that record actually arrived today, so another bonus record will be on its way!

Ho, Ho, Ho! I’m really glad that these selections worked out! Even though it’s all about giving, it’s still a little nerve racking.
