Indie rock wishlists and gift ideas? Bring 'em on!

MP3 Turntable Cool gift thing!!While we're on the topic of what we want for the holidays, I've got some more tangible ideas of what would be fun to see under the tree / lit up fern / celebratory coffee table this year.

Forget all the cords and wires and multiple pieces of equipment, with this thing I could plug and go crazy making iPod-listenable MP3s of those 7"s I can't access while on the road. And need I point out it's currently 20% off!?! They also make one for cassette tapes, but my boyfriend swears we already have the technology to do such a thing, we just don't have it hooked up. Hmph.

The other things on my wishlist are a bit less tangible: an irrefutably electable Democrat presidential candidate, a cheap parking space, and world peace. But most of all, I'd love to have you at the Crocodile on December 20th!

What do you all want? I think the super-mega awesome Labrador Records boxset would make a perfect gift for that person you love with good taste (available here).

Might I suggest a poster bundle from Seattle Show Posters? I love the show-based artwork, but his general non-music ones are super stellar. That heart in a jar? The hand puppet? I melt! Note that on all orders placed before December 17, SSP will throw in a free mystery print! And, if you order and mention you read TIG, you might just get a special somethin somethin...

What do you want and what are you surprising your loved ones with?

Perhaps this could suffice in the meantime? This is a great gift idea.

Mmmm. That Labrador box set sounds dreamy. Funny that the review opened with a comparison to Sarah Records. I've been trying to come up with a polite way to tell anyone who is contemplating getting me a gift to instead make a donation to the "Help Marion Afford to Track Down Every Sarah Records Single that She Possibly can Fund." Sadly, I don't think this is an option...

I have the record player that changes things into mp3s, let me just say that it is a HASSLE! You have to record it real time, and then you manually fix the skips and such. I mean, its cool, but I just have no time to do it!

Thanks, Liz!

Yes, I have some not-available-anywhere-else prints that I'll include with orders from TIG readers.

Plus, before December 17 if you can name at least three official imaginaries, I have an awesome bonus prize that I will throw in free with every poster pack order.

In addition, I'm giving away stickers and random good stuff with every order.

I'm hoping for:

The Brit Box: U.K. Indie, Shoegaze, and Brit-Pop Gems of the Last Millennium

As for converting to MP3, I totally recommend the Gemini IKey. Platinum Records in Seattle/Portland carries it. I've been totally happy with mine in coverting vinyl and tapes and being able to choose the quality of MP3 or converting to WAV.

I would be wishing for the new British Sea Power album (out 14th Jan), but with my connections to my Student Newspaper, I've already got it ^^
