💿 Shawn’s Annual Christmas Haul:
Shawn starts things off by breaking down his latest vinyl haul from Noble Records in North Carolina, an annual post-Christmas tradition. Plenty of gems, surprises, and reasons why this stop has become a must-visit every year.

🛒 Craig’s Recent Purchases:
Craig follows up with a look at two recent pickups, both of which would’ve easily landed in his previous Top 5 Albums of the Year. One in particular? An album he was just complaining about never being reissued—until it finally was. Timing is everything.

📚 Uncut’s Top Albums of the ’90s – 10 More Down:
The duo continues their long-running journey through Uncut Magazine’s Top Albums of the 1990s, pulling 10 more random selections and inching closer to the finish line.

To close things out, Shawn revisits the Top 10 singles from December 1979, comparing the UK and US charts and digging into the sounds that closed out the decade.

NOTE: Sorry for the abrupt ending, as Shawn's audio fizzled out at the last minute. Womp womp womp!
