Thank you to Scott Kempner and the Del-Lords for this most delightful of gifts:

Because the DFFD Blog exists to serve you, the Dictators fan — and because nothing says “yuletide cheer” quite like the music of the Dictators — we want to help you fill your stockings with the latest in ‘Tators entertainment this holiday season.
If you made your way here, and actually stayed, chances are that you already have all of the Dictators studio and live albums and, most likely, a choice vinyl single or eight.
But if you haven’t yet picked up their latest — the odds ‘n’ sods album Every Day Is Saturday, released in January 2008 — go ahead now. We’ll wait. (You can thank us later.)

Now get one for your mom. (She can thank us later, too.)
The Dictators may not be making music together of late (bad), but its individual members have at least been keeping busy creatively (very, very good). Which leaves us, the fans, with — at least! — five times the material to keep track of in the quest to complete our collections (good and bad). And, let’s face it, not all this stuff is available at your local Wal-Mart, so you can probably use a little direction.
Without further ado, we offer you the Dictators Holiday Gift Guide 2009:

No, I want a time machine. Set for the date: July 30, 1977.
And a plane ticket to S.F.
But if you’d settle for the magazine, it’s selling (for a pretty penny) on eBay right now:
