Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 27 - September 2021 /// Jneiro Jarel - After a Thousand Years

Today's clue is not gonna be helpful but I'll be totally honest I thought everyone would have figured it out by now and would look at this video and go "Mmhmm, mmhmm yep this totally matches with what we think it's gonna be."

Fool by Jameszoo

The word ‘naive’ comes from the Latin ‘nativus’, meaning native, or natural. Today, to be naive is often seen as pejorative, a lack of experience or judgement, but in the art world the word retained some of its original meaning: a quality acquired through birth, a childlike innocence and won...

What is a connection that all those videos have in common

I can't think of anything explicit

Also the video game clue confuses me

If mountain and game soundtrack I'd guess Celeste

The southern theme of luray kinda says Kentucky route zero

I know nothing about weeds or ladybug mecca

And jazz is kinda unsure but I maybe think of ape out being a free jazz video game.

None combine together though.. and for label I dunno if it's Mondo or iam8bit or ship to shore or just something on Fangamer or bandcamp
 
MCA territory infarct (Thanks the name of the picture)

Can obstruct blood cells and lead to strokes.. it would be either the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, or parietal lobe.


What does that contribute

Literally nothing.. I don't understand a lick of it
 
Bonus clue: it's not a video game soundtrack.

And to help further explain the obtuse video game hint, what I did was I took an ordinary SNES game (EarthBound) and replaced its soundtrack with (mostly) hip hop beats. Pharrell, Madlib, MF DOOM, etc.

As a specific example, here's a playthrough video from part of my game:



Go to 56:25 if the video doesn't start there and watch as our hero enters a police station... and Mystikal's "Shake Ya Ass" starts playing.

The artist for the AOTM appears in the rom hack like this. If you don't want to play through the entire game compiling a list of artists you recognize, you could always just watch the preview video in my original hint post if you have 20 minutes to kill.

Extra super bonus clue: Even though this rom hack features hip hop beats, I have never said the AOTM is rap or hip hop.

Video game remix album

Has to do with some part of the brain I don't understand

I am not a master at MRI
 
Clue #1 - Bill Summers worked with Herbie Hancock and features here.

Clue #6 - One of Jarel's Dr Who Dat? tracks turns up in your ROM video.

Clue #7 - Vaneeta is played by Indigo, who is married to Jarel. Her role on Treme is what led to she and Jarel's relocation to New Orleans.
