Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 2 - August 2019 /// Khemmis - Hunted

[Skalap]

Can someone make a playlist of intro to metal for me? With some of the artists in this thread? I was doing my best to stay caught up on listening to what everyone is guessing and suggesting. But I've fallen way behind and am sad about it. It seems daunting to me. But I want to learn!

I'd love you forever!

I would be interested in this playlist too. I spent the last three weeks on vacations without Spotify and haven't had the opportunity to listen to the guesses. Now there is an endless list of names and I don't know where to start. I would add that I don't listen to any metal at all so I have good hopes that this AOTM will help me to understand my metal heads friends

my personal fruit rankings.

I love the specificity of this. I a hope spreadsheet exists for your PFR (Personal Fruit Rankings for the laymen). Couple of quick questions: How deep does your PFR go? and what is your Top 5 ranked fruits currently?

This wasn't directed at me, but as a passionate and certified PFR rep, I felt compelled to reply.

1) Strawberry
2) Avocado
3) Raspberry
4) Pear
5) Plantain

I like the strategy of including savory fruits. Plantain almost seems like cheating since it is great both ways!

We only got 6 days

We can do this

We need to remove mastodon somehow

i just assumed you had twisted sister

random:

at NAMM Show in early 2018, I sidled up to the hotel bar after a long day and remarked "rad twisted sister vest" to the guy in front of me on a bar stool. swallowed my next words when he turned and raised his glass to me.

Hmmm... This is a strong list though going with a pear instead an apple in the top five is bold move. I mean what is a pear but a less tasty version of an apple.

FTFY

FTFY

I think the problem is it seems to be much more difficult to find a good, ripe, juicy pear, so not everyone understands.

Are you questioning my qualifications!?!?

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

I literally have a pear tree in my backyard and still consider pears to be replacement level fruit (at best).

At the lake this weekend with very limited internet connectivity but I’ll do my best answering any questions and staying involved.

As far as @Skalap and @Teeeee for the Spotify playlist, did you want something specific to the guesses here or an “intro to metal” in general?

 

[supahypeag]

Here’s a playlist that includes at least one song from every band that was suggested as a “check this out” (vs a wild guess). Sorry if I chose the wrong song in an album. And sorry if I missed one or two or more. And sorry for the lack of organization. I just went more or less down the thread.

Oh no, that was in support of you.

I'm seeing a significant lack of tropical fruit here though. I think my top 4/6 would be:

Juice mangoes
Lychees
Chirimoya/avocado
Bananas/plantains

None of which are really very good imported or shipped to my grocery store completely green and therefore are partly high due to travel nostalgia/scarcity

Your PFR’s seem a tad boujee but I do applaud your willing to stick something as gross as Lychees up that high.

Hard for me to think of them as bougie when the vast majority of my consumption of them was traveling on a shoestring budget but yeah, not readily available good in the states.

Unpopular opinions to follow:

1. Watermelon
2. HONEYCRISP Apples
3. Pineapple
4. Cantaloupe
5. Honeydew Melon

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Watermelon is the most overrated fruit. That is my fruit hot take.

And cantaloupe is the best melon.

tbh i kinda hope @Goatfish can do another one of these as part of further listening

(i'm definitely gonna do that now)

THIS is some PFR I can get behind. I would go Cataloupe > Honeydew > Watermelon (unless said watermelon has absorbed large amounts of Vodka) other than that I think I would probably find room for some Rainier Cherries on mine too.
