Books/Music- "Sound of our Town" by Brett Milano. It's a history of Boston Rock'n Roll,came out this fall. A lot of interesting tidbits I never knew. A good read for anyone into the Boston scene.

Ah, a Merry Christmas indeed my friend![:D]

In terms of music, no CD's this year but I did get two different live Ramones DVD's. Each concert was different, I swear!!!
I can't wait to watch them.




We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

Oooh--I'm jealous. I've been eyeballing this.

I got Blondie's Eat to the Beat cd/dvd combo. I haven't seen some of those videos in years. Funny to watch the pre-Mtv style of video & I forgot how out of it Debbie always looked. Awesome!

A Sony Home Theater System (to replace the Phillips that decided it didn't want me to watch anything), a Toshiba DVD player, Pink Floyd's "Live at Pompeii" DVD (love this!) and some bits and baubles. Nice haul.

A gift basket with some of my guilty pleasures...

I'm down with the Guinness, Blir, but the spam?

I love See's . . . got a big box of "Nuts & Chews" myself. But as a PNW girl I must ask how the "Toffee-ettes" compare to Tacoma's own Almond Roca?

Didn't get much, besides the smile of my kids faces when they opened their presents...that's all I needed and wanted...It was a Very Merry Christmas[:)]!

Coop: Currently listening to it and a few of the tracks are very sparse sound-wise and I don't mean in the way it was recorded, seem to run out of ideas for them.

I got nothing NW-y, but I did get some spending money so I could splurge on some CDs/vinyl. I plan on going to Hogwild Records (this awesome local store with a great selection of stuff) to spend me some bucks. Otherwise I got pants, underwear, a silver necklace, a little stuffed reindeer (I love little stuffed animals), a small bottle of hand lotion, a gift certificate to the movies, and a tin full of cookies.

Ooh, another thing I want to spend some of my money on is George Gimarc's complete [i]Punk Diaries[/i]. I've seen it on the shelves at Borders and have snuck cursory looks into it about once a week for the past year or so, so I'll be able to finally purchase the book.
