Happy Holidays, my friend!Alright "Santa".............
Really very much appreciated and completely unexpected, this has been on my list for a while and I've been waiting for an acid deal or GC for my birthday or whatnot to chip down the price a bit. Oddly enough, I did get a $50 Gift Card from my brother in law for my Birthday the same day this showed up on my doorstep.
Once again, the generosity and comradery in this community is second to none and speaks volumes about it's members. Huge thank you to my Santa and wishing everyone Happy Holidays

That FELT album is nothing less than a gateway drug to other FELT albums.
And it will still be the one you come back to. SO good

Hey Santee,
I hoped they'd ship together but that's not happening. First half is on it's way.

And looked what arrived. Thank you so much @sarcasticfairyprincess This has been on my list to pick up forever and for some reason I’ve never bought it. This will get a lot of play as it has some of favorite Tyler songs like Dead Man’s Curve and Follow You To Virgie.

I just noticed that I never acknowledged this post!
I'm glad you like my picks, and I am sorry for the hiccups with the Tone-Loc.
We'll work something out.
and there's a final piece still outstanding delivery, with very puzzling tracking and very limited progress.
It will arrive, just keep the faith!

Seriously though im generally quite nervous of being on the receiving end of this. The post here has been crazy lately and people in my apartment building have found that their parcels have been delivered to one of the other buildings around us. They are working it out by checking the photo attached to the tracking info (we can now tell just by looking at the carpet/floor tiles!!) but as I wont get tracking I just hope they deliver anything I might get to my address.When tracking shows your Santee has received their goodies and there is no mention about it on this thread:
If my Secret Santa has sent something my way and I don't respond on the thread within a day of it 'arriving', just give me a nudge and I will check the other buildings post rooms

Hey @MadLucas - I'll reveal that I was your Secret SantaView attachment 80169
Santa,
I am humbled.
You must have spent a long, long, LONG time digging through my collection (SORRY!) to arrive at these perfectly curated pieces.
I've been missing Mingus! [Some CD's, but not even this one, in my collection... though I don't have many CD's in my Discogs]
I don't have this FlyLo! I have a deep love for his music, but somehow this flew under my radar.
And I have been meaning to get around to Courtney Barnett! [seriously, this was an "I will get around to it someday" album and someday is NOW!]
I am so, so, so grateful for this
I hope someday you reveal yourself, but, if you don't, know that every second you spent on making this happen is beyond appreciated!
Much love,
MadLucas
It was quite a task going through your collection (which is awesome!) but I'm really glad you enjoyed the selections!
Happy holidays and have fun listening!

My Santa's package has arrived from overseas!
Pictured is:
K Frimpong - Backed By Vis-A-Vis
Ill Considered - VI
Shabaka and the Ancestors - Wisdom of Elders
Handwritten note with explanations + recs
Looks like the K Frimpong record is a standout afrobeat/highlife record. My collection lacks records representing world music outside of Japan, so I am very much excited to hear what this sounds like!
Ill Considered seems to be a London jazz band, and my Santa was so kind to get a first pressing, indicated by the hand numbering on blank white label (ltd. 300)!!! Extremely thoughtful and also doubles as feedback for how I can improve my gifts for next year's SS.
Lastly, I am very familiar with Shabaka and the Ancestors from their release this year - We Are Sent Here By History. Pictured above is the debut, which I have not listened to yet! Excited to dive in.
A very thoughtful package overall. Overseas Santa, I am appreciative and I'm very thankful. If I had to guess your identity, are you @Poly-Rythmo? Only guessing because of your known affinity for African and jazz music. Whoever you are, thank you!!!

You guessed right! So glad it made it in time - what with Covid and USPS issues I was anxious. I wanted to give you some of my favourite records - and help out my friends at Hot Casa who put out the wonderful K Frimpong reissue. Enjoy - and Merry Christmas!
