I made this for a $3 limit "Yankee Santa Swap." Maybe it's a New England thing, 'cause where I come from we call 'em White Elephant Parties (and Wikipedia agrees.) Stinkin' Yankees. Speaking of teams, the Rockies lost Kaz Matsui, and in an even greater personal loss, Jamey Carroll (arguably the hairiest knuckles in baseball,) but let's not let this turn into a sports blog.
The gift I walked away with (coincidentally from the person who received my creation) was a CDR of an album by experimental French prog-rock/jazz band Magma called Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh. As soon as I confusedly read the title aloud to the surrounding group, the gift giver claimed that it was one of the top 5 albums of all time. The album is in a made up language (rings a bell, right? [Sigur Rós]) called Kobaian, was released in 1974, and is, needless to say, very interesting. Here's a track:
Magma - Kobaia Is De Hundin
