All I want for Christmas is… Music

To please a music fan in current circumstances, you have to be pretty creative.

This holiday season we’ll have to do without large family gatherings and partying with friends. But that’s no reason to give up on spoiling those we love and miss. Between colleagues we’ve been talking about ways to do just that and we want to share our ideas with you.

To please a music fan in current circumstances, you have to be pretty creative. Gifting a concert ticket is a bit complicated (will it be cancelled, will it not?) and a voucher to spend on a big music streaming platform brings little to the artists. Luckily, there’s still merch!

Put on some clothes

With a few cleverly chosen accessories, you can be chic AND promote your favourite band. To reach the height of elegance, our musical programmer Marc recommends a tote bag from The Choppy Bumpy Peaches, a No Metal in this Battle cap (so exclusive you won’t even find it in their shop), on which you can pin a phosphorescent button from Ryvage.

For the hip kids, a certain Nicolas reveals that there is one, and one only, child size Mutiny On The Bounty t‑shirt left.

The Beastie Boys probably don’t need your financial support, but our event manager Tom has a soft spot for the socks that will make you scream “Sabotage”!

Put some style on your shelves

Nice decorative items are always a hit. You’re in luck: Autumn Sweater has just added magic trees to their shop. And if you contact Jackie Moontan via Facebook or Instagram and say we sent you, he might sell you a nice mug with his face on it.

Put on some music

Incidentally, we remind you that it is always possible to listen to music and share your best discoveries. There are a few nuggets on the 100.7 compilation, Schlofzëmmerbléck, which you can gift in its very limited vinyl edition.

For your ‘family dinner via Zoom’ playlist, Julie will go for a Vanilla Fudge Best Of. It has nothing to do with Christmas but her dad insists everyone listens to it every year. We have the traditions we deserve… Maybe just follow Tom’s lead and put on A Very Chilly Christmas by Chilly Gonzales.

Wild card

Who says vouchers are impersonal? Not us. In our opinion they guarantee you hit the nail on the head. Ours are valid for one year. Just imagine: if you buy a Rotondes gift voucher today, we’ll all be vaccinated before the expiry date!
