What new music did you get for Christmas?


...I'm enjoying Mary Gauthier's "Mercy Now" at the moment. Highly recommended kind of like a 'dark' Lucinda Williams. Her first CD, "Filth and Fire" is great too. Got a handfull of other new music...I'll add to the thread as I listen to them.

Anyone else get new music they can recommend...?

I gave my sister and brother in law "Mercy Now" this year on vinyl. Also gave them the self titled "Duhks" cd and "Tijuana Sessions 3" by Nortec Collective. These are my faves for 05'.
I didnt receive any music this year but Im about to look at vinyl so who knows what I will come up with.
Happy Kwanz-Christ-Haka!
