> All right, welcome to the last emailer of the year. We've rounded up  
> a few of the oh-so-cool goodies that have just landed, news of a

> Happy whatever you celebrate, be safe out there.

> Oh, and if you're looking for something to do for New Year's Eve  
> check into the party on Pine, it's got live music from Dusty Rhodes  
> and the River Band and Delta Nove, and the word we're getting is  
> it's free (except for the drinks and such, but you knew that).
>
> Holiday Items
>
> we got the goods
>
> USB Tapes
> The only cool way to deliver your special mix, these USB drives are  
> packed like an old-school Cassette tape, including the paper insert  
> where you can get all arty and write the important song titles just  
> a little bigger than the other filler ones.
>
> Red Pianos
> Schylling is THE name when it comes to toy pianos. Lisa Hannigan  
> tours with one and if you ask anyone who works here, they can tell  
> you how hard it is to keep your fingers off of them. They're fun for  
> musical kids of all ages.
>
> CD/LP dividers
> These heavy stock dividers are perfect for all of your High Fidelity  
> style reorganizing - alphabetical, genre, or make your own.
>
> Skullphone T-shirts
> Word is you can get these at MOMA, but we're way closer and I've  
> heard a bit cheaper. Get one and make the corner traffic boxes  
> jealous. Two styles available
>
> Orange Amps
> Nothing but power - these little beauties pack a whallop (and have a  
> built in tuner!) This is the perfect mini- practice amp at an ever  
> so fashionable low price.

> Animal Collective Listening Party

> Tuesday, January 6th - 7:00pm
>
> On January 6th Animal Collective will be releasing the vinyl version  
> of Merriweather Post Pavilion, which will be followed on CD January  
> 20th. The vinyl is a two-record, 180-gram thing of great beauty. It  
> comes packaged in a stunning optical illusion gatefold cover and it  
> includes a full album download card. Beginning next Monday, we will  
> have large posters of the cover image free for anyone who pre-orders  
> the vinyl or CD between Monday and the listening party (while they  
> last). The listening party will include an enter-to-win contest with  
> prizes including tickets to their sold-out LA show, vintage show  
> posters, and select catalogue releases.
>
> Merriweather Post Pavilion is the ninth full-length album from  
> Animal Collective, recorded with Ben Allen in Oxford, Mississippi.  
> Animal Collective have made a record that makes the same beautiful  
> sense on headphones by day, or soundtracking the small hours of the  
> morning, or, you suspect, stretched out in a field on your back.  
> Whether a state of mind, or a rest stop somewhere along the  
> way,Merriweather Post Pavilion magnificently redefines your sense of  
> direction.
>
>
> Dr. Dog Value Add
>
> One of our favorite releases of 2008 was Dr. Dog's album Fate. It is  
> a wonderful collection that melds the energy and enthusiasm of  
> contemporary indie rock with the bedrock components of classic  
> Americana. The easiest referential compass point might be to think  
> about The Band, if they were working with Brian Deck (who's best  
> known for his production for Modest Mouse) and listing to Otis  
> Redding in their off time. Anyway, we aren't just writing to fill  
> space, we wanted to offer up a free copy of an exclusive  
> compilation, which features a couple of otherwise unavailable live  
> tracks, to anyone who picks up any Dr. Dog album or CD. Maybe it's a  
> little gift for you for turning a friend on to a great band for  
> Christmas or maybe it's just a super-charged Dr. Dog gift? The  
> decision is yours.

>
> Southern Lord gets all Winter gifty
>
> Southern Lord is the pre-eminent label for experimental, drone, and  
> doom metal (and a vinyl version of one of Jesse Sykes & The Sweet  
> Hereafter's finest albums) and it seems that they've been gripped by  
> the fever to give that strikes most of us around this time of year  
> and they've very generously kicked us a couple of very rare, out-of- 
> print vinyl LPs to help us, help you fill in some gaping holes in  
> your collection. Send us an email with your name and phone number  
> and a story about an inappropriate gift you either received or (in  
> retrospect, of course) might have actually given. Keep it clean and  
> we'll pick the best/worst one and spread a little bit of vinyl cheer.

> Check the Southern Lord Myspace Page for a few samples.

> Dave Alvin Recap
>
> Closing out our 2008 in-stores with a bang.
>
> For anyone who missed our Dave Alvin in-store the week before last,  
> well it was not a good one to miss - in fact, it was a crazy good  
> one to see. Last time Dave was here it was great, this time was like  
> a combination of the good time rock and roll of a Saturday night  
> mixed with the reverence of a Sunday morning. It was a completely  
> mind-blowing evening of the redemptive power of rock and roll. If  
> you aren't familiar with Dave's music, you could do much worse than  
> the recently released Best of the Hightone Years, an overview of his  
> first several solo albums, and there isn't a clunker in the bunch.  
> We've still got a few posters left over and the first 15 people to  
> pick up a copy of the collection will get one. For the fans that  
> didn't make it, Dave's set was almost an hour long and consisted of  
> the songs below, plus banter about Dave's years cooking at a  
> restaurant on 4th and Ximeno, a little dish about Dwight Yoakam  
> cooking at Hamburger Henry's, and some fantastic stories about the  
> rich Rock & Roll history of Long Beach. Dave's stop here the other  
> night went a long way toward enriching our little slice of that  
> history.

>
> December 9-21, 2008
> Here's a little recap of some recent new releases, some are out  
> tomorrow, noted with (12/21) and the rest are available now.
>
> Common - Universal Mind Control
> Common returns with a new must have album just in time for a little  
> under the tree sneakage. Think of the mood you could set with this  
> bad-boy, go ahead, be selfish, or be giving and use this for the  
> soundtrack.
>
> Hilmar Hilmarsson & Sigur Ros - Angels of the Universe
> Fifteen short instrumentals created as the soundtrack to an  
> Icelandic film, which will probably only ever play on Sundance, but  
> the important part is the soundtrack, not the film. The soundtrack  
> is a collaboration between Sigur Ros and Hilmar (who's worked with  
> Current 93 and Psychic TV) and while it's not really signature work  
> for either of them, it's a good listen.
>
> Justice - A Cross the Universe
> Live set on CD and DVD, loaded with floor fillers, club-bangers, and  
> a great peek into the wild and wooly world of Justice on tour.
>
> Mark Kozelek - The Finally LP
> You should know Mark from his work with Red House Painters and Sun  
> Kil Moon, but if not; he's not only an extremely gifted songwriter,  
> but an interpreter of other people's songs that is without peer.  
> This collection is strongest with its covers of songs by Low and  
> smoking versions of "Send in the Clowns" and "Celebrated Summer" by  
> Husker Du, but it also features radio sessions, a track or two from  
> Yo Gabba Gabba, and a couple of new instrumentals. We've also got a  
> couple of Mark's tour only releases, but they won't last long;  
> specifically, we have a Live show from Belfast and a collection of  
> rarities, but only a few of each.
>
> Motown : The Complete No. 1's - Various
> 10 discs loaded with 191 Number 1 songs leaves very little room for  
> wishful thinking and a lot of room for slow jams, good times, and a  
> healthy handful of Marvin, Diana, and the Temptations (just for  
> starters).
>
> Stereophonics - Decade in the Sun : Best of
> Two-disc best of from Kelly Jones and Company, including hits, live  
> and rare session tracks.
>
> Thrice - Live at the House of Blues
> Recorded in Anaheim, so there's a good chance you might have been  
> there. It's a full-show, two-disc, bonus DVD package, which is  
> pretty nice value for the fans (especially the local fans).
>
> Anthems - Anthems (UK)
> Anthems is Gregg Gilis (of Girl Talk) and Frank Musara (AKA Hearts  
> of Darkness) working their conjoined digital manipulations under the  
> name Trey Told 'Em. Recently Thrill Jockey opened their vaults and  
> let them go to town. One track manages to fit every single Oval song  
> into one track, others mash-up Tortoise and Trans Am and a super  
> epic mix that manages to include almost every Thrill Jockey artist.  
> 70 minutes of music across 54 tracks. This release is extremely  
> limited and was originally only available to those lucky enough to  
> have made it out to the Thrill Jockey anniversary celebrations in  
> Chicago and London at the end of 2007. Features Mouse On Mars, The  
> Fiery Furnaces, Trans Am, Howe Gelb, Tunng, Tortoise and 48 others.  
> It's an import, so the date and availability are sketchy at best.
>
> Fall Out Boy - Folie a Deux
> Their fifth album is now available as a regular and limited edition.
>
> Jamie Foxx - Intuition
> We figured out he could sing in Ray and now he's back with his  
> second release. Contributors include Timbaland, Tricky, T.I., Sean  
> Garrett, and more.
>
> Anthony Hamilton - The Point of It All
> Classically styled Soul music that recalls the greats like Isaac,  
> Sam, Jake, and Otis.
>
> Keyshia Cole - A Different Me
> Keyshia is another strong voice on the new-soul scene; comparisons  
> include Aretha, Billie, Dinah, Nina, & amp; Whitney. Guests include;  
> Tupac, Kanye, and Nas.
>
> Ghostface Killah - Ghostdeini the Great
> New Greatest hits release including new mixes and extra verses.
>
> Heavy D - Vibes
> Heavy D throws out the hip-hop for a little island flavor with this  
> new collection of what's being called Reggae inspired tunes, or  
> maybe it's inspired Reggae tunes? We'll let you judge.
>
> Plus new vinyl from Common, Kanye, and Lee Scratch Perry.
>
> The (UK) designation is generic for all Import releases, and may  
> include releases for any number of countries including (but not  
> limited to) Britain, Ireland, Japan, and Australia.
>
> Check out even more releases on our website
>
> Rock Paparazzi
>
>
> After the popularity of last week's photos of Rock Stars in their  
> parent's homes, we've stumbled across this forward-looking site,  
> which finds awkward photos of older folks and assigns a resemblance  
> to a contemporary band or artist and chuckles ensue. It's a little  
> overly hip (or not, really, who knows what We Are Scientists really  
> look like?), but it's clever and fun and probably worth the few  
> minutes of work time you weren't going to do anything with anyway.  
> Check it out here.
