Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 40 - October 2022 /// 🎃/// Tash Sultana - Flow State

Absolutely!!!
Awesome job!

Give me a few minutes for a write up and the rest of my planned clues.

And @Fleetwood-Matt , I was expecting you to get it, too! 🎅 :)

Having just seen them not even two months ago, I'm kinda disappointed in myself that it took as long as it did to get there!

They rocked so hard at that show they actually broke their saxophone while playing it! 😲🤯
 
First a few of the remainder of my planned clues. One of them I am both proud and ashamed of coming up with, since I detest one of the images.

And I was trying to come up with something clever for flamingos and cactus since Tash displays those on their stage when performing.

I summarized most of the clues, but what I was hinting at with Caroline Rose and, who nobody seemed to recognize Sleigh Bells, is I've seen them live. I think there are at least a few posts by me expressing that in this forum. Here are a few pics....

I fell in love with Tash when their video Notion came out. I was lucky enough to grab that vinyl, which is now goes for a pretty good price on discogs. I also was able to get randomly selected to receive a promotional 7" though a bit disappointing since it was only 30 seconds of one song. Regardless, I am still a fan and have all Tash's albums available on vinyl.

The pics above are from a show Tash did in North Carolina May 2019. Tash never came to Louisville (my location) before so that was the closest Tash came so my wife and I went on a road trip. It was awesome. We got there early and was literally on the rail. I pissed of at least a few folks since I am quite tall, I paid the same, I didn't care lol. (I usually an cognizant and let shorter folk through to the front, but in this case I really wanted to be up front). Anyway, that show was awesome. Tash tried to come through Louisville since then, but covid and all of that... Hopefully one day They will make their way back here.

So I am glad that you all are excited for Tash. I really think they are going to get more popular and become even greater in the coming years!

As for the clues:

irst clue sacks of phones = saxophone
second clue 50 +7 x 0 -100 / 2 + 200 = 200
secondary second clue mass = 200g So this one for Tash is probably a bit of a stretch, but I found it interesting at least. I searched for 200 g + Sultana and that is what came up!
third clue solo artist, keyboards, performance that I've seen live
fourth clue tribal and 45, 45 RPM, (headhunter for Herbie Hancock) Also this struck me as funny (as a contributor to discogs):

The tribal theme is also part of the artwork on Flow State
fifth clue OMG, nobody recognized Sleigh Bells! Anyway, Bells are one of many instruments played by Tash, also I have seen them perform live.

This was more fun than I anticipated. I don't know why I was so intimidated to add my name to the list earlier. I hope you all enjoyed my wild clues. 🍻
