Are you buying for a picky music nerd like me? Let me help.<\/h3>\n

\"field_notes-head\"<\/p>\n

I’m one of those guys who is really hard to shop for. Ask my friends and family, and they’ll all groan in agreement. I like unique stuff and usually just buy it for myself. No fun right? I also tend to like things that are hard to find, which isn’t exactly realistic for busy gift buyers during the holidays.<\/p>\n

This season I’ve made my annual list, which I don’t usually share with anyone. It’s more of an exercise in keeping some things I think are neato. <\/em>I\u00a0don’t expect anyone to actually buy any of them for me. Really, don’t. Like some guys, a good pair of socks and a coffee mug with something ridiculous written on it makes my heart melt with the holiday spirit.<\/p>\n

So for those dealing with picky music nerds in their lives, this list should help you out.<\/p>\n

\"halo-headset\"<\/h3>\n

$749. These crazy new headphones don’t actually play music. Instead, they zap your brain using special ‘neurostimulators’ to help musicians learn music up to 30% faster. And they work because, science.<\/h4>\n
\n

\"u-turn\"<\/h3>\n

$289. But Vinyl is better, and this one sounds great.<\/h4>\n
\n

\"stevereich\"<\/h3>\n

$81. Why is this LP always so expensive?<\/h4>\n
\n

\"kobe_beethoven\"<\/h3>\n

$550. Kobe Bryant’s shoe design inspired by his favourite composer. Just take my money.<\/h4>\n
\n

\"pez\"<\/h3>\n

$30. If you can find them, I want them.<\/h4>\n
\n

\"field_notes\"<\/h3>\n

$12.95. A music critic’s preferred choice.<\/h4>\n
\n

\"unansweredquestion\"<\/h3>\n

$90.64. A scandalous gem.<\/h4>\n
\n

\"bach-action-figure\"<\/p>\n

$11.99. I can’t find one for the life of me, but I want it.<\/h4>\n
\n

\"good_night-light\"<\/h3>\n

$24.95. You can’t put a price on sleep.<\/h4>\n
