Yessss

and neil young in rot

Also a big thank you to @Colonel_Angus for letting me do this and for keeping the clue lists.

He’s the best.

 

[duke86fan]

other important parts of the clue


teen spirit: at the beginning of the phone call he mentions that the book was inspired by listening to "it smells like teen spirit"

Jaba: the place where he did all his research was the themed coffee shop "Java the Hutt"


I find it cool that they picked this album because I remember finding out about the best show on my search to read all the pitchfork best new reissues and was surprised to see a 16 CD numero group compilation of HUNDREDS of what are basically prank phone calls

 

[Dirtbag Auntie]

Messages sent to the winners! I’ll post the local food banks that they want their donations to go to.

Write up and clue notes will come next week.

Thanks for playing along, thanks for the fun and thanks for enduring 5 ROTMs due to my wanting to be the worst.

This was fun!

All I need to know is which album am I putting as the pick on Instagram?

I saw an opportunity and took it.

 

[Dirtbag Auntie]

I saw an opportunity and took it.

I thought it would be all 5 (shrugs that emoji/type thing that everyone does)

Nicely done, all! Great thread.

SCHARPLING & WURSTER - ROCK ROT & RULE @EvanBenner
SHARON JONES AND THE DAP KINGS - IT’S A HOLIDAY SOUL PARTY @Colonel_Angus
SPECIAL INTEREST - ENDURE @EvanBenner
YOKO ONO - FLY @avecigrec
THE REPLACEMENTS - TIM @avecigrec

 

[scotthilk]

I've been listening to Special Interest a lot and I dig em! Same with the Holiday Soul album. Nice picks!

 

[cul8er]

YOKO ONO - FLY



I don't have a man's hat that would hold liquid. I do have some plum wine and some "perfume" in the form of champagne....





As for the music, not sure what I was expecting, but so far it is actually quite fun. The package I got has a lot of extras, like a poster that is really cool, a card with a hole to "see the sky through" which is intriguing, and a booklet. Lots of stuff to dive into.

So happy to see another fresh copy! Spread the word of Yoko!!

Ok, so I ordered SCHARPLING & WURSTER - ROCK ROT & Rule through Bandcamp and it was fulfilled through Flannelgraph Records in Bloomington, IN. (Not that far from me!) Anyway, they sent a LOT of extras! Thanks, if you are out there!



I will spin these later, I have a derby party to go to this afternoon

This is one of my favorite things about ordering on Bandcamp. So many small labels and artists have hooked me up with freebie goodies after noticing I'm a repeat customer.
