Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 19 - January 2021 /// Tim Hecker - Radio Amor

[Jan]

Besides the pun above, this is obviously blue. Probably not a genre hint because that would be too easy and the time-frame is not prime blues material, so maybe blue in song or album title or a cover that is dominated by blue colors.

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Oh good, my favourite colour.

 

[dhodo]

The title of that image is the hex color code for azure, which probably doesn't matter, but just in case!

Azure ray would be a female lead band that released a bunch of records in the discussed time-frame

Guess time: Madlib - Shades of Blue

 

[duke86fan]

just because of the current list week AND because i am in a good mood


here is one extra hint, and one with no asterisks or complications


it was reviewed by pitchfork, but did not get Best New Music

 

[Nee Lewman]

Madlib: Shades of Blue: Madlib Invades Blue Note

Listening to Madlib's music, I'm reminded of the Black radical maestros responsible for some of the outermost-limits music-making ...

I don't know how it fits any of the other clues besides the Pitchfork review and blue color, but I will say this is a great album and belongs in everybody's collections.

Fits three of the clues... best I’ve done since calling Snoop in the old place!

 

[gregathon]

is it clue time

i think its clue time

Donald Pierce was also a member of the Hellfire Club and had the title of The White Bishop.
(My X-men knowledge isn’t as deep as it is for Spider-Man / Daredevil, but those words seem like they have decent potential for this clue).

 

[dhodo]

HELLFYRE!



Doubtful it is related to this Hellfyre Club, but still

 

[duke86fan]

only one more complicated clue next

after tomorrow all of the clues can be either simple Q&As or very direct responses


also a few of the clues i gave you require a few more layers of separation and connection than you are giving them

 

[blissfullychaotic]

Just sold Shades of Blue a couple months ago, if it's the AOTM great pick, it's a great album but surprisingly got few spins at the house with Flight to Brazil or 420 getting the spins whenever I am in a Madlib mood.

He also led the reavers!

[duke86fan]

the last esoteric clue, the rest of the clues will be responses to you or direct help

 

[Diaper Baby Escape Plan]

Kitty "Rose Gold"

FKA Kitty Pryde

It has an X-man, a color, was reviewed by P4K (no best new music - not even close) and I'm Sirius about it.

 

[blissfullychaotic]

wrap it folks we are finally getting Limp Bizkit, that sure does look like a chocolate lab with a starfish as an eye

Guessing Limp Bizkit ~ the chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water


Tying the clues together

Water is blue
Chocolate colored Dog is in sirus logo
Starfish the dog has a star in the eye
Matches the timeframe
Duke Nukem is hot
And the X-men come in many different flavors

the last esoteric clue, the rest of the clues will be responses to you or direct help

after looking at this clue and the 10+ previous, I am sooooo confused (due to the need to pass several layers of interpretations for each) that I honestly wouldn't even be able to ask a direct question.

no, wait, maybe one.....
Genre?
