Xmas presents

Yep, the DIY series.  I've got most of those.  You can still find em in stores every so often.  There was always licensing issues with The Clash.  I wonder if those issues, you know, ended.

  So what kind of cool stuff did everyone get for Xmas?  We kept things pretty low-key this year. Mostly music, dvds and games. My favorite present was this box set:

The Post voted this the best boxset of the year in their year-end wrapup:
 
 Best Box Set: "No Thanks: The 70s Punk Rebellion"
 
 Punk gets the Rhino treatment on this four-CD set, which skims the curdled cream of the Buzzcocks, the Dead Kennedys, X, the New York Dolls and the Ramones, as well as dozens of others. Neglected greats like Stiff Little Fingers and Johnny Thunders get salutes, and the track-by-track commentary, by Ira Robbins and Dave Schulps, sums up the story and the characters in succinct and colorful detail. Notably absent are the Sex Pistols -- a deal with whoever owns their catalogue never panned out -- but everyone else who matters is present and accounted for, and anyway, as it candidly says in the liner notes, you ought to buy the Pistols' "Never Mind the Bollocks" before you spend more than $60 for this set.

That's odd, because on one of the UK punk ones they've got Anarchy in the UK and God Save the Queen as demos.
 
 Anybody check out the 3 disc postpunk series Rhino put out?

I've seen them, but haven't picked them up.  It seems like all the songs I know on them, I already have.  I'm curious how the rest of the music holds up.  I'm sure they're good, but I haven't felt the need to drop $$$ on them.

most notably I got a new leather jacket, and most strange present, I got a box set of books about famous prostitutes...from my mother.  I think she's hinting something.
