Got the latest Deerhoof LP. Spun it a coupla times today and it’s unsurprisingly great.
Also got Minimal Wave Tapes 2. Which is ace!
And a Dukla Prague tee (from a friend) and a Fuzzy Logic tee (from my sister). Yay!
Seconded re: the Deerhoof album. They’re an incredible band.
I got the Minor Victories album, Ardour by Teebs, Highway Songs by Papa M, and a DeFocus Records compilation I need to listen to (there’s some of the artist names I’m sure I recognise from forums or something).
Also, an SP-404. Hoping to use that extensively to get an album done (still learning how to use it).
Vulnicura live LP, it’s lush
Steve reich ECM set
Out of time re-issue
Jackson Browne comp
Nine inch nail live did (beside you in time)
Well stoked with it all 
I was interested in that too if it’s the one I think it was.
It wasn’t, but it may well be now, haha. 
Interested to get into Sun Ra, some of what I’ve heard is really fascinating and interesting. Jazz is something I’m frequently trying to get more into; some I really like, and then some stuff just totally does nothing for me (obviously, like with any kind of music, I s’pose).
Yeah, they seem to sound like a band again on this new one. Have loved the last coupla recs too.
Don’t know deFocus, I see on Discogs it was started by an ex-Rephlex employee or sutin’. Will delve.
Neither did I, tbh. My sibling is really good at finding stuff in record shops that I might find interesting.
My thing with Deerhoof is that I first got into them about a year or two ago and have just been totally blown away by them. Every album I get of theirs is a revelation, though I think Offend Maggie is one that sticks out as a particular highlight for me.
Nice, seen the Arkestra a few times. Think the best time was this year at ATP, actually. Have spent a far too little time with Sun Ra’s recorded output though. So much stuff!
Nice! They are fantastic. Have seen them a bunch of times and they’re always great. Live, I really liked when they toured for a 3-piece about ten years ago. But some of their more recent recorded stuff I rank really highly, like Breakup Songs, it’s like a crazy mixtape.

NOWT! Despite dropping heavy hints of stuff I wanted. I did get a Ticketmaster voucher though, so I suppose that sort of counts.
Sex Swing LP 
My sister got me ‘On Bowie’, by Rob Sheffield. Haven’t had a chance to look at it yet. I think it’s about David Bowie, though.
I got my girlfriend ‘In Love With These Times’, Roger Shepherd’s autobiography/story of Flying Nun records.
Girlfriend and I got each other a stereo that we’d been planning on buying for ages, so we can finally play our records again.
