One of the things about opening presents from my mom, you always have to watch out for the occasional gag gift. This year was no different when I opened a present that contained a box of vinyl records. Rolling my eyes as I pass by a "bagpipes and drums", Lawrence Welk, "Polka Favorites" and eliciting a WTF with the above Liberace album, I happened upon the actual prize inside the box.
This copy of Pearl Jam's "Lost Dogs" on vinyl. This is a rare, hard-to-find album that my brother spotted at a used music store for an exorbitant price. Luckily, now, I own it, and I can listen to Yellow Ledbetter (and Dirty Frank) on my record payer. Score!
The best part is, the joke is on you, Mom. I looked at the Liberace album and noticed that song #1 is the Theme from the Godfather. WIN!
I'm not too sure about the Polka Favorites or Lawrence Welk, though.
Thanks for the Christmas presents, Mom, you know I love them all. I do wish there was a Jimmie Foxx ball in there, though. Maybe I scored enough points with Dad's gift, maybe he will buy me one for New Year's.
