Hookay, lights are donning the outlines of buildings and webbing through trees, the ClearChannel stations and the mainstream coffee shops and bookstores are blaring remakes of the same festive 20 or so melodies and lyrics in neverending loops, and that can only mean it's time to BUY MORE SHIT!
I'm kinda glad I'm giving this some thought ahead this year...so I've made a good list with some ratings ($ being a casual buy, something fairly cheap or something generally not necessairly meaningful but trivially entertaining and that you more then likely could find on tables near the checkout lines, $$$$ being a pretty fucking serious investment) to put some perspective.
Christmas Holiday PARENTAL GIFT REQUESTS List:
-Book: "Musicophilia"- Oliver Sacks (link) ($)
-Line 6 Pocket Pod ($$$)
-(Maybe?) Nanoloop 2.2 Cartridge for Game Boy Advance ($$$ and only available through Europe, but LISTEN to this guy's music to see what kinda stuff can me made with it!)
-Fender Hot Rod Deville ($$$$) (This'll probably be a self-buy...)
-FUN-BY-MYSELF for hours on end...($$$$!) (I highly doubt this purchase)
-Looong Soccer Socks...in ALL sorts of colors ($)
-FC Twin. NES and SNES games in one? With high-def S-video availability? Fuck yeah! With THAT, some games...PUNCH OUT, Any of the: Ninja Gaden's, Mega Man's, Mario's, STREET FIGHTERS...($$...)
-MUSIC. Battles. Bombay Bicycle Club. Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII soundtracks. Final Fantasy VIII Piano Collections. Too freaking much. ($$?)
-Some other clothes...solid skinny cotton shirts in any color, BEANIES, cloth belts, non-leather shoes, stuff that's RIDICULOUS. ($$?)
-The "small" bottle of trombone Slide-o-Mix...($)
Ooof. So in other words I'm a whore to technology.
Here's to high hopes!
