Why?!?! Do you even see your own folly, here?

Why?!?! Do you even see your own folly, here?

I mean I googled Santa Barbara Diet cause that’s what I thought the name of the show was. I figured I’d done all that work.

So there are several California hints right?

Orange County (dreamsicle)
Santa Barbara
Craig Newmark (San Francisco)
Craig Hillyard is associated with @dreamsnevrdie which is LA-based
BJM was founded in San Francisco
Chai is...I don't know. They were on Burger Records along with BJM?

...and also bedbugs?

you're wrong about the dreamsicle - remember it's a flavor not a place
thank fuck, somebody finally cracked Santa Barbara (shit was good, right?)
Gavin Newsom isn't so much about the person as it is about what he made
Same for Craig Hilliard
Yes, @gaporter cracked Burger Records label

Bedbugs is very specifically a clue you can only solve if you know my particular discernments about music which will reveal a detail about this particular album

everyone just skipped the JQBX clue, I guess so I'll just say that @gaporter and @Jonathan Y should be able to nail this guess but they're not allowed to do so unless they can clearly crack every single clue in the process.

I mean, we know it's not MCB? That's where a lot of hints keep pointing but you yourself ruled it out. Do you have an insider AOTM of their highly-anticipated second album?!

 

[debianlinux]

WTF

Yeah, I don't know. Strike that from the record. Craig Newmark. CRAIG NEWMARK!!@!

@DEB

It’s not much of a damn clue if it only exists inside your head!

 

[Joe Mac]

Also could flavour = genre
So dreamsicle = dream pop?

So, you're impressed right?!

 

[Joe Mac]

So, you're impressed right?!

At myself for figuring that out?

Hell yeah

Spoiler

But yes I will admit that was a clever clue

 

[Nee Lewman]

So it’s icky California dream pop?

 

[debianlinux]

@DEB

This discernment was already clearly broadcast in a previous guess thread and is known by anyone in JQBX. Furthermore, if you think you know the album you can reverse engineer the clue.

 

[debianlinux]

There's still one other clue no one is talking about. I think everyone just skipped right over it.

Tie this to Craig Hilliard and Craig Newmark and I'll allow it.

How is it NOT the MCB album? They met through Craigslist in Santa Barbara!

No one ever said it was not.

 

[avecigrec]

No one ever said it was not.

It's knot MCB... right.


Official guess, then:

How is it NOT the MCB album? They met through Craigslist in Santa Barbara!

I kept coming to this same conclusion.
