I’ve received three gifts in the last few days. They’re all Rhino Records box sets:
The Brit Box: U.K. Indie, Shoegaze, and Brit-Pop Gems of the Last Millenium
What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Groves, 1967-1977
No Thanks! The ’70s Punk Rebellion
After the jump, I’ve listed every single song…in alphabetical order. Of course, I have some of these songs in other ways (original albums, downloads, etc.) Still, I can’t imagine being any happier about anything. (Bev, can you imagine? 300 SONGS?!)
