What music did you get for Christmas?

Santa was very good to me.  I received from my wife and kids a number of CDs:

 

- Clapton

- Mojo by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

- Walking in Clarksdale by Page / Plant

- Mulennium by Gov't Mule

- Higdon & Tchaikovsy by Hilary Hahn

 

I also bought for myself:

 

- Elgar Complete Collection on EMI

- Oistrakh Complete Recordings on EMI

- Koln Concert by Keith Jarrett

- Live at Gdansk by David Gilmour

- Bible Belt by Diane Birch

- Little Dreamer by Beth Rowley

 

The last two are my annual gift to myself.  At the end of every year I try to make it a point to buy one or two CDs from artists I've never heard of. The samples on Amazon / Google of both Birch & Rowley sound promising.  (I'm a huge fan of female vocals.)

 

Happy listening!!!

I got the following from my family:

 

Mississippi John Hurt - The Complete Studio Recordings (CD)

Elliot Smith - Figure 8 (CD)

Minor Threat - The Complete Discography (CD)

Elliot Smith - Elliot Smith (Vinyl)

 

and purchased:

 

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (Vinyl)

Godspeed You Black Emperor - F#A#∞ (Vinyl)

 

Not a whole lot music-related, but I upgraded to a Project Debut III as an intermediary to a P3 or higher for the next couple of years while I finish out college.

I got thrown a cardboard box the size of a small man littered with cds all swimming without cases.

 

Oh, it was fun for six hours trying to file them all

My wife got me Richard Thompson's latest CD, "Dream Attic". We saw him in concert about 10 years ago at a small club, pretty good show, and its a decent CD. I got my wife Mandy Patinkin's "Kidults" CD for Christmas.

I ordered the new releases from The Young Gods for someone else to give me.

New album "Everybody Knows" & a limited live boxed set of 3 cds & 3 dvds.  Seriously wonderful eargasm material.

If you like beautifully recorded psychedelic/industrial/progressive rock, check 'em out.  Highly recommended.
