Tom Waits: Orphans 7xLP box
Supersilent ~ 6 cd
Supersilent ~ 9 cd
Washed Out ~ Life Of Leisure 12"

How's the Washed Out 12"? Pretty pricey purchase I think......but then so is the Orphans LP box so that's a big thumbs up alround.

Santa bought me

The XX - XX - great album I must say, though it did get slated around these parts I think.
Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um - Legacy Edition
HMV vouchers.....so many choices to spend them on
Keith Richards biography by Victor Bockris........which I already have. Bummer.

Not as much as I'd usually get but it's a hard time of year this year so grateful for whatever came my way.

[sensitized]

Tricky's 'Knowle West Boy'.

Didn't get the Martina Topley Bird album's on my list to Santa

coachwhips- get yer body next ta mine

[TheWarmth]

Big thumbs up on the Washed Out ~ Life o Leisure EP. I like it a lot. Great grooves and nice vocals. I have a digital copy of his earlier EP, High Times, but I don't like that nearly as much. Hopefully, there is an album coming soon.

[scratch]

two copies of Lemmy´s white line fever
johnny cash´s autobiography

[solarflarez]

its pretty cool that you can have a pair of shoes custom made for you for $100

[James T]

The Throbbing Gristle buddah box. Sweet noisy loops, got a pitch control too. No jack but you can easy fit one of those.
Lots of records.

[solarflarez]

Stan Smith, i was looking for them for months and months, (in the best trainer shops in London) gave up, and my girlfriend got me them for me as a suprise christmas present, i didnt ask where she got them from, but i will check out that website (Mongolian Shoe bbq??)

[marcvolta]

yea the bbq is pretty silly but its kinda awesome, they give you all these colors to choose from and you see what the shoe will look like and you can pretty much customize anything on them

heres the site

[Guessed]

Nike do one too solar

Think you can custom air force ones and waffle street racers! Sadly I know what these are being a follower of "pimpy boonies" from my early teens.

On the subject of gutties; mcqueen is still kickin' out belters for puma...picked these up recently http://www.puma.jp/alexandermcqueen/img ... 901-lg.jpg

[solarflarez]

found silver laces.......too much?

[sunray]

Wasn't expecting anything this year so i'm extremely happy with my pressies:

Reissues of Psychocandy, Darklands and Automatic.
€100 voucher for Ticketmaster.
€20 voucher for my local record shop.
Shaun Ryder's autobiography.

Hope you all had/have a good festive period.

[One Asian Under A Groove]

Those trainers are phenomenal! Especially with the silver laces. I once wore a pair of silver trainers to a Spiritualized gig by way of knowing nod to J Spaceman's choice of footwear. Nobody cared.

Music-wise, I got The Very Best Of Orange Juice and Matt Berry's Witchazel from my better half this year. Having heard Rip It Up on 6Music one morning, I'd banged on so much about how great it was that she thought I needed educating. And Matt Berry is a cult hero in our household thanks to his role in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (our cat is named Dr Sanchez after Berry's character) and an awesome concert he played in Glasgow last year, where he was good enough to pose afterwards for photos doing the "fist punch" greeting from Darkplace. I'm looking forward to checking out some baritone prog-folk.

I got my missus the Drive soundtrack (if you've seen the film, you'll know why) and what is rapidly becoming my favourite album of the year, To The Death Of Fun by Cashier No.9. It was this board that got me interested in them as a poster here mentioned that David Holmes produced the album - he really can do no wrong. Summery bliss.

[Shinesalight]

So, I did pretty well music wise this year (giving a wish list of records to my girlfriend certainly helped!!! ).

I got the following records from various family members:-

Black Angels - Passover
White Hills - Hp1
Beach Boys - Smile
Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo
Peaking Lights - 936

I've bought/ordered the following records with Christmas vouchers/money:-

Black Angels - Directions To See A Ghost
White Hills/Gnod - Gnod Drop Out With White Hills
Cashier No.9 - To The Death Of Fun
Arbouretum - The Gathering

Oh, and a friend got me the I Break Horses album, Hearts, on CD (doesn't he know I only buy records these days??!! Though seeing as the CD was about £7 and the record was nearly £20 I can understand his reasoning).

The record that has been getting played most in our house this holiday period though is the King Creosote/Jon Hopkins album that my parents bought for my girlfriend... what a lovely, beautiful record. They're playing a gig in a church in Brighton at the beginning of Feb but I'm going to miss it as away on hols in Oz (I shouldn't be that gutted that I'm going to miss a gig for a month long holiday to the other side of the world should I?! ). My other half also treated herself to the PJ Harvey album which we've only played once so far but sounds very promising.

Anyway, got loads of music to listen to...just hope I can now find the time to sit back and enjoy.

[kaleidoskull]

cool stuff in the stocking this year all! my one and only gift was dig out your soul on 180 gram!...the wife finally understands me
