I have to buy for my niece's and nephew + have 3 more total gifts to buy for femdisco, momdisco and brodisco. Luckily I know what I'm getting all of them.

As you well know, all my shee come from Cramazon. Enjoy

I got my wife's cousins husband in the family grab bag.
He is a metal head, so I got him a Gorgoroth Long Sleeve t-shirt.
He will love it!

Do we have any more death metal pizza Tshirts around anywhere?

This is as good a place as any for my annual request for music recommendations for FemDerris' mom.

I get her something every year. In the past I've tried to get something quality but inoffensive. Almost adult contemporary if you will, but not lame.

Anything spring to mind from this year?

Here's what I've done in the past:

Over The Rhine- The Trumpet Child
Robert Plant & Allison Krauss - Raising Sand
James Hunter - The Hard Way
Paul McCartney - Live in New York City (he being her favorite Beatle)

Also, the year before I started doing this FemDerris gave her The Buena Vista Social Club which she loved.

somebody gimme somethin'

Pomplamoose?

Thanks toze, will check it out.





If this is a wise crack it's lost on me since I never opened that thread. But, for the record, I'd never give her something called Pomplamoose.

There's that new Robert Plant joint...if she liked the last one.

(You could always make an honest woman out of her daughter.....)

50/50. It is pretty bland, unoffensive stuff, I think(?).

and

What Dave said. Hurry up and pop the fucking question so we can GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER.

very offensive.

Should I put mine on ebay?

Considering this. Some continuity there with Raising Sand (which she enjoyed). She also has a special place in her heart for New Orleans (she went to Tulane grad school and lived there for a short period) so that new Kermit Ruffins record could work as well.

Anyone else care to weigh in? Much appreciated.

How's about Peter Wolf? It's one of my favorites of the year but definitely could fall into the "adult" category.

FWIW, I dloaded and burned a copy of the new Robert Plant for my FiL since he loved the last one and he hasn't mentioned it since. Possibly a bad sign.

I remember you asking for advice in a previous year and I recommended Bebo y Cigala - Lagrimas Negras based on her loving the BVSC album. I stand by that recommendation. Or you could go with a solo album from one of the BVSC artists. I like the Ruben Gonzalez and Orlando Conchaito Lopez albums best. None of those would be 2010 releases though so if you are looking to get her something new they wouldn't work.

I've never heard that Kermit Ruffins album but along the same vein the new Dr. John might work. The only other 2010 recommendation I'd make off of those is the Mavis Staples album.

This is a good album.

I think Red Horse is a really great suggestion

I really want very little. I'm trying to simplify my life and get rid of things, especially shit that my ex left behind in the house that I will never use.

My new lady friend and I already exchanged, and she got me a very nice pocket watch, some coasters made from records, and a nice Xmas ornament with my kids' and my name on it. I got her earrings and cow-print shoes (combining two of her interests).

My kids will get toys that they mentioned and some cool stuff I picked up at a novelty shop. My son is also getting a thumb drive packed with mp3s, since he's been asking about music more, now has 2 iPods, and wants as all the Buddy Holly he can get. Not sure about my folks yet, but likely tickets to a show or something like that.

I just spent "too much" on the wife for xmas and birthday (next week), and I'm surprising her for lunch on her b'day at work so fuckinall, this had better go over well.

For Dalen, or The Discerning Porn Fiend in your life - Taschen's The Big Butt Book:




Alexis Texas is Big fan:

I'll take that + these others:

my son is going to china.
my ex and daughter are going to puerto rico.
nobody's getting anything from me except bitter jealousy.

thanks to Rolled Meat for the info, Sébastian is now getting this bike. kids as young as 19 months are flying around on this thing, and then learning how to ride a pedal bike a lot faster. he's gonna freak when he sees it!



Info:

If your toddler can walk, your toddler CAN ride a Strider™
Never need a tricycle. Never need training wheels.

With the Strider™ PREbike, there are no "tricycle tip-overs" or "training-wheel wobbles" to create a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding. The Strider™ running bike helps toddlers learn balance and coordination BEFORE pedaling, which develops glittering confidence. So ditch the tricycle and training wheels, and teach your child to ride a bike sooner and safer with a Strider™.
