Choose Your Own Adventure - The October 2024 Spin Challenge

[Hemotep]

Yes, but that wasn't the challenge brah.

I was really hoping someone would have something with a banjo bass, which I'd never even heard of before.

It wasn’t not the challenge. We’re doing our best “Cliff Claven on Jeopardy!” Impression.

It’s a tough thing to even search for. Most return results for “Banjo, Bass”

 

[Turbo]

I'm very much looking forward to seeing what comes out for tomorrow's prompt.

I'm thinking of playing Cheap Thrills because the cover is by Crumb and there's horns on it.

Searching for "rock albums with shawm" gives 90%+ Shawn Mendez results .

When I get home from my parents' place next week I have the added challenge of what albums can I find and/or physically access that might fit these prompts, given that half my collection is currently packed away in preparation for renos.

Just remember that electric bass banjo is completely acceptable, whatever @Hemotep says. Worse come to worse, we can always call in @Mather's lawyer @Mathew Chupacabra J.D.

 

[Mathew Chupacabra J.D.]

Electric Bass Banjo is my second favorite instrument just behind the Electric Slide Lute.

We believe in mob justice around these parts. I'm no judge. I just write the bull shit I come up with for funsies.
