If you have some music lovers, marketers and/ or tech savvy people to buy for, we have some advice from the pros: us. Here are some of our favorite holiday picks:

“Tribes: We Need You To Lead Us” by Seth Godin

This book is great for your marketing or business savvy friend. It is all about leadership, interesting case studies and how one inspires their tribe. Pretting much everything that Seth Godin writes is gold, so check it out!

“Outliers: The Story of Success”

Ever since I saw Malcolm Gladwell speak at ExactTarget’s Connections in October, I have been a fan. This book is excellent. It is very well written and easy to get through. I learned a lot from the  included case studies about success and I definitely recommend this read for anyone who is interested in being successful or learning about how history can influence the future.

DJ Hero

Ok, lets face it, everyone wants to be a dj even if its just in the the club called Home. If DJ Hero is as popular as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, this gift is a shoe in! Not to mention, one of our neat clients in featured in the game, DJ Shadow. Hurry up and buy!

4 Port High Speed USB 2.0 Cassette Hubs

This is enough to make any punk rocker who plays with a computer drool. Thats right, look close… those aren’t cassette tapes, those are 4 port high speed USB 2.0 cassette hubs. Find them here.

The Think Geek 8-Bit Tie

We admit that we love thinkgeek.com. This is a great place to shop for your geeky friend. Take a look, I know you will find something.

People Under The Stairs “Carried Away”

Sean, our billing guy, highly recommends this album. Their beats range between Latin Jazz and Funk, but will often foray into strange beat selections that they somehow make work.  Check out their new album at AmieStreet.com .

Them Crooked Vultures “Them Crooked Vultures”

- Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and John Paul Jones put out an album and their talent is apparent in every song.  If you need to know more than that, the three band members have each belonged to Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and, oh yeah, Led Zeppelin. Check out their new C.D.!

Killswitch Engage “Killswitch Engage”

I have always been a fan of anything Roadrunner Records puts out. If your tastes run a a little heavier, you should swing over Roadrunner Records to check out this album, and while your there sign up for their mailing list! If you are a metal fan you receive all kinds of free tracks when you’re hooked on the list, and with their show alerts you’ll never miss your favorite bands show again.

Have fun shopping and have a great holiday!
