Kpowers.... he sent me over 400 songs that are considered rare or hard to find. He sent lots of old school goodies.

Nothing really
I bought Earl Greyhound - SOFT TARGETS
Furious Funk Freqs - Vol 1
and Living Colour Paris DVD on my own after Christmas at Amoeba.

My mother got me the set of Robert E. Howard story collections on Del Rey in soft Trade paperback.

It's supposed to arrive today from Amazon.com

I think my sister ordered the James Brown singles vol. 2 collection for me, though it hasn't arrived yet.

Otherwise, nothing. I'm too impulsive/impatient to ask someone to get music for me for a holday or birthday. If I want it enough to remember to ask someone for it, I'll probably end up getting it myself long before they have a chance to get it for me.

Grace Jones "Hurricane" (so I no longer have to only listen via youtube.

Boy George "The Martyr Mantras"

Nothing for me, but i hooked my dad up!














Actually, i did sneak one in for myself:



Palm Beats, Vol. 1 Gigi

I didn't get shit

Motown boxset


Atlantic boxset

thekidsgirl said:

Now I might have to come back to report this section

I got a giftcard
for this store called HASTINGS
(we just got one here)

I bought Lady GaGa's The Fame
sold it back the next day
and got Amerie's Touch
Jay-Z's Vol.1
and Cam'ron's Come Home With Me
and a pair of headphones

DirtyChris said:

they still have Hastings?! I *LOVED* that store. All of the ones around here closed. one of the better places to go sell old CD's. they paid nicely for them. (which is probably why so many of them closed.)


PS: you didn't like Gaga? it's a little uneven especially toward the middle/end, but the good outweighs the bad.

before selling

HamsterHuey said:

Thanks for the exact links.. maybe my next birthday or something I can move "onto" those ones... will be quite immersed in these boxsets a lot, especially the Atlantic one which covers the 1950s catalog.
