Needles & Grooves AOTM /// Vol. 20 - February 2021 /// Birds of Chicago - Love in Wartime

I hereby solemnly promise that if we're all still alive and using computers with electricity when I come up for AOTM the clues will be inscrutable, complex, intentionally misleading, and require multiple links to discover the meaning of even a single one of them.

Addendum: @Goatfish will be prohibited from making any public guesses.

Probably not. I don’t think you’d have picked a group popularising chamber music in China that appear to have released nothing on vinyl. I wanted to share the pointless fruits of my pointless labour.

I was just gonna be impressed and a little baffled.

Also, just because I’m feeling super generous and don’t want you guys wasting too much time in bottomless and pointless rabbit holes. Henhouse is the proper interpretation of that clue. However, the artist is not listed in that very exhaustive list from the other day.

When did @Lee Newman 's avatar change?
Are you teasing us with the "on the nose" picture?

Yesterday, completely unrelated to this. Someone texted something at work and I took the selfie as a “not it” for the task and then decided it made a good one for me in response to several others changing their avatars to pictures of themselves.

So he can breathe swimming through these bullshit clues

If anyone would know bullshit.

Why does your face shield have a snorkel?

It's a headlamp with a face shield attached
