New Wave Outpost Forum

Did anyone get any new wave/punk items this Christmas? Music? Books?

The ony thing I got that fits this category is the book, The Clash. Big book with lots of great photographs. My son put a Devo hat on his wish list and I managed to find it on eBay so now he is the proud owner of a red flowerpot Devo hat.

What did you guys get?

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

I got a cool huge/oversozed paperback book: [i]Mod: A Very British Phenomenon - Clean Living Under Diffucult Circumstances[/i] by Terry Rawlings with an intro by Richard Barns who (no pun intebded![:p]) has written the History of the Mods and Skinhead movements from the '60s forward...

I only received gift certificates, so I have ordered (so far) the Thompson Twins "Sidekicks: The Movie" DVD and the Squeeze "Complete BBC Sessions" CD.

I'm considering the Duran Duran "Unseen" book and the "Remember The '80s" book as well (I remember submitting a quote for it but am unsure if it was used...)

I didn't receive New Wave gifts per se; rather I gave a co-worker copies of 2 Ian Dury & The Blockheads singles (Hit Me With Your Rhythmn Stick and Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3)[8D]
