A long white coated person in the state of Washington sent me a sweet mix tape and a cool t-shirt from a local brewery! How sweet is that? Oh, I can not forget the sweet beer mug that grows in water after 72 hours! Mmmmm yummy.
Second, I got a pretty dang sweet Secret Santa gift from Steve Simon. We do not know each other well, but we broke the ice and chit chatted a bit. He sent me a grouping of several local indie bands from Indianapolis, IN. It is much appreciated. I look further to getting to know Steve better over the next year.
Overall the common theme between the two is Local! I love seeing people talking up their local. Thanks you two!
As for the rest of you, I just want to say that this is not my comfort zone for sending out thanks. The people out there who really make me tick already know who they are. But all of you are special to me. Thanks moggers.
First vinyl for me this year you may ask? Why not start with a side b? Side b of Jason Collett’s Idols of Exile.
If the line. "I love it when my girlfriend calls me a cock sucking faggot" does not get your attention from the track Pink Night, nothing will. Jason Collett blows (tee hee) the roof off the joint with this track. This is one of the most perfect rock records I have heard in the last few years.
I sure hope the side B of my first year of MOG is just as enjoyable as side A. At this rate it is looking to be at least a 4 sided LP and I am loving every minute of it.
Side note: I am going to be adding more thoughts in the comments of this post over the next couple days. If interested. Keep checking into this thread.

My Trusted MOGs

Btw, I really enjoyed this track, thanks.
My Trusted MOGs
Yeah, poor Badgers.
My Trusted MOGs
You know, come to think of it, I always expected the men in white coats to pay you a vist but not to drop off gifts. LOL
My Trusted MOGs
What a f'n haul! So who's the white coat person in WA? Would that happen to be Amber?
My Trusted MOGs
Jeff. Go Packers. I am glad the Badgers did not get blown out. They sure had some chances but just could not seal the deal. I always see people in long white coats following me everywhere I go. ;)
Andrea. Thanks for the well wishes on a tough loss for my club.
August. You got it. Amber. She is so cool. Legally peddling drugs to the masses.
My Trusted MOGs
Okay, maybe I'm an idiot, but your mug GROWS in water? WTF does that mean?
My Trusted MOGs
Sweet double haul Mike. Dig how Amber's just spreading the joy wide this year.
My Trusted MOGs
That's me, the white coated, joy speader from WA. :)
I couldn't send Mike his beverage of choice, so I sent a tee and one of those grow in water things---remember from when you were a kid. Usually these were dinos or zoo animals. I found a beer mug.Grows over 6 times in size in 72 hours!
How could I not buy that for Mike?

Chromeo - Call Me Up
Not sure why, but I love this song. And you can't deny how awesome this record cover is.
My Trusted MOGs
Chuck. Amber pretty much got the explenation right. You just put the little beer mug in some water and it gets big in 72 hours. If you take it out of the water it shrinks back up.
Dale. Amber is a saint.
Amber. It was so nice of you to do. It caught me by surprise. One thing about the mug is it gets all slimy when its big.

Sucker Punch by Fujiya & Miyagi. Just a reminder to myself that I might get a few this year and need to just ride it out. Life is not always fair. If I can take the Sucker Punch when life deals them, I know the pain shall pass and things will get better. They just have to, they do not have a choice.
Sometimes I think winter is nature's Sucker Punch.
My Trusted MOGs
a saint? I don't think so....
My Trusted MOGs
How about diabolical saint?
My Trusted MOGs
Awesome presents, songs and Amber you've got there. Sorry about the winter sucker punch...Is that picture from the last couple of days?
My Trusted MOGs
ooooo...diabolical. hee hee hee.
My Trusted MOGs
The picture is from last year, but that is pretty close to what it looks like right now. It was about 10 below zero today. COOOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDD. Send me some warm weather SunnyD!
My Trusted MOGs
Amber...diabolical saint it is then. :)
My Trusted MOGs
Lovely gifts! You are better at giving thanks than you think you are :*
I got you something, too:

Maybe one of the coolest rants I read in 2007. Go Steve!!!!

My Trusted MOGs
