Kate Bush - Hounds of Love, because why not?

Edit: I guess I should quantify this with something - Kate Bush has a lot of references to Shakespeare throughout her work. And I like tihs album the bestest.

The water with the geese is Southmere Park near an Abbey Road.

OK. So this is the second hint.

 

[Joe Mac]

@Joe Mac there's been a ton of hints since the reptilian one! Get them up there when you can homie

@gaporter I’m confused! I’m going through pages and pages and can’t tell what the next clue after the reptile vid is. A mixture of other ppl sharing JQBX hints and the general nonsense has left me flummoxed!

On the positive trawling did lead me to do this...

I'll try to look and see what all should be considered a hint. There's been a lot that people have been completely ignoring that would probably help.

Also, yay! Even tho Andrew isn't the AOTM it is highly recommended.

Thanks! I’ll happily update it once I know where I’m going! Up until this morning when you shared a fair bit it’s a bit of a mess hahaha! The guesses are a bit clearer obvs so I’ll do them afterwards!

Yeah knew that pretty well back when I was younger but thought I was too cool for it . I’ve a couple of friends from back then that would slag me rotten if they knew I’d bought this now after the grief I gave them back in 2002 .

@Joe Mac ok i think this is all of the hints/info that's been revealed since the reptilian one

Sometimes Honesty is Not the Best Policy

if this helps you sleuthers- at least 3 of the hints are referring to stanzas in 1 single song.

*scratch that, 1 stanza in 1 songView attachment 26056

I was personally given a clue for being the most awesome person that I am (okay, it was a bribe I graciously accepted) Said clue has done nothing but make me even more confused about what part of it could even be a clue. I don’t want to keep it from the group but I did want to hang onto it until I was sure how to present it.

Here we go:

First you must tell me what does this animal do...

As far as I can tell, the artist/album still hasn't been guessed. Maybe this will help

The artist has two gold records

What can I say? Sometimes you just need to follow the clues!

I'm sorry y'all.

I'll just say that the two years that were given aren't necessarily random.

-30.2575, -57.596298

Good luck, weemend warriors.

Ok so putting aside the cryptic stuff for a second... don't you sleuths usually dive through people's older posts in preparation for these? Because I'm getting the feeling nobody has done that for me yet.

I’ll get on it in the morning

For those who guessed Debut - well you were kinda right :3

 

[gaporter]

It's a debut album, just to be clear

 

[Bravoceratops]

Based on debut, British or Bella Union connection, and the kind of lyrics that could lend themselves to a trillion visual clues, I’m guessing Emmy The Great - First Love

 

[gaporter]

 

[debianlinux]

So, it’s pop, pretty well marks me out of guessing it.

 

[Bravoceratops]

This makes me think this is a good thing...

I have an idea. Maybe Taylor Swift - S/T? It has ties to 1989 it came out in 2006 when Taylor was 16.

Anyway, I’m thinking the artist was born in 1989 and the debut came out in 2016 making them 27 at the time OR it is actually Taylor. The rest of the clues what the sticky pudding ever.

 

[debianlinux]

I take it that if one searches the 6 pages of posts @gaporter made in the pop tarts thread you’ll find the reference whether you recognize it or not.

 

[gaporter]

This makes me think this is a good thing...

The gif was just a clue! The timing just happened to line up well. Emmy the Great was a good guess tho! I really love this song

I'VE FUCKING FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

 

[gaporter]

Additionally @teefer I think I saw where you were going with the Blood Orange guess and that was a very good guess if I followed how you arrived to it correctly.

 

[gaporter]

I'VE FUCKING FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

I hope this is real and not you saying Bush or Bloc Party again lol

I'VE FUCKING FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

WHAT IS IT??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
