I finally opened my package! Lots of gifts wrapped in Star Wars wrapping paper and a very nice note. First gift was a Hot Wheels BMW 2002. It's one of my dream cars. I'd love to restore one some day. This is now proudly sitting parked at my desk with a few other cars so I can daydream. Next is an issue of Iron & Air magazine. Technically, it's a magazine, but it's super nice quality. It's about a half inch thick and bound like a book. I've flipped through it and it looks really cool. I'm excited to dive in more. Third present is a little Honda keychain. This is definitely going on my set of motorcycle keys. Next is a couple of Jack White/White Stripes singles. I've got a ton of Third Man stuff, and my Santa managed to find a couple that I didn't already have. Nice! And finally, a tri color copy of Turnover's first album. I asked for some local bands to be included, and this was the one my Santa chose, so they must be from Virginia. I haven't heard this album yet, but I loved Peripheral Vision, so I'm sure this is going to be awesome. Based on the clues, my Santa has to be Shane. Thanks so much dude, you nailed it with this package. I love it!

Early bird is back in stock if anyone's interested. It's been out of stock for months. https://www.polyvinylrecords.com/product/the_worlds_best_american

maybe if you add like $250

This is chaos. Gimme standard black presses that are easily obtainable!

Finally got around to customizing my phone a little bit! Pretty stoked about it.

I've already sung my praises for new BLID in the Teens of Denial thread but I'm so excited that we're getting *both* versions on vinyl, I was definitely expecting only the re-recorded version. I'll be adding both to my collection without a doubt.

It Comes at Night popped up on Prime Instant. Pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking, but nice atmosphere.

Those Cursive represses are the gift we all deserve. Been spinning them all month.

I got mine in a while ago, but I just opened it after Christmas. I got a sick Milo Goes to College patch,Batman Cacophony (which is awesome, because I love Batman and Kevin Smith), and American Slang by Gaslight Anthem. All wrapped in that awesome cassette wrapping paper. By process of elimination I think Marc was my SS? Thanks so much!

Glad you liked everything man! I went for an earlier Turnover just incase you had heard Peripheal before, so I'm glad I did! I noticed you had a bunch of White Stripes and Jack White and saw those at my local shop so figured they'd be a nice add in. I had fun getting everything else too because I dream of building a motorcycle one day too! Ha! Happy Holidays!

This album is the definition of forgettable.

Thank You!

Nope. And I guess so much for the 12/22 release/arrival date too.

for me this is my AOTY for most forgettable release and the more I try to listen to it, the more I realize there were a bunch of amazing albums released this year, this is not one of them.

Negative. Pretty annoying.

Dude! So rad! thanks. I noticed that empire was blue after I opened in, so rad! Thanks again. I can't wait to travel more to reveal more countries!

So I waited until Christmas morning to open up my Secret Santa box that arrived almost a month ago. I can not figure out how to attach photos here anymore and am too lazy to open up a photo bucket account or whatever you crazy kids are using these days, so we will have to rely on the good old written word here I am afraid. First thing I saw when I opened the package was a very thoughtful handwritten letter describing the selection process for all the gifts included. I am the first to admit that my intro here was pretty bare bones and my current want list is pretty short (a few of the reasons that people hate buying me gifts). My secret santa combed through my collection and bought records that he/she felt would fill gaps in my collection and I am super appreciative for what I received. First off, Death Cab for Cutie - Something About Airplanes - https://www.discogs.com/Death-Cab-For-Cutie-Something-About-Airplanes/release/6409096 I had never heard this LP before. I have downloads of Plans and Narrow Stairs which I enjoy but couldn't get into Transatlanticism at the time it was released so never went any further back into their catalog. Spun this last night and really enjoyed it. Second LP up was Sonic Youth - A Thousand Leaves - https://www.discogs.com/Sonic-Youth-A-Thousand-Leaves/release/8761043 I was a big fan of Sonic Youth when I first started getting into music around 1990 and was a big fan of Dirty, Goo, and the more mainstream singles from their earlier releases. I stopped following them after that time as they got more mellow and my tasted were getting a little heavier. Now that I am a bit older and my tastes have caught up this is a great time to check out some of the releases I have missed out . Look forward to spinning this shortly. Third up is a band I have never heard of - a blind buy local metal group to the SS - FOGG - High Testament - https://www.discogs.com/Fogg-High-Testament/release/7146287 The hype sticker claims it has "gnarly shredding" by guys who "worship at the altar of the almighty riff" so I don't see how I could possibly go wrong with this one. The letter had 3 clues as to who my secret santa is: 1. Twin Peaks 2. Texas 3. Tea. I used my sweet ass detective skills as soon as the SSs were assigned and saw that Green Tea Papi had viewed my profile (helped me remember to log out before viewing the person I was assigned) Thank you @Green Tea Papifor an awesome gift. Merry Christmas!

After having mine shipped from them to US Friend they have finally landed with me I had a play of the white A/B today and its a huge sounding album....Bass is wicked.....mine is numbered 18/500 Overall pretty stoked
