Needles & Grooves

You flatter me with the nod @avecigrec , but I don't think I can thoughtfully put one of these together during the next year... Maybe if I start considering now I can come up with something for a more mid-term future. Anyway, you'd probably guess it within a day so I should probably just send you a record now

Any and every body I haven't mentioned above too... come join the fun and share some of your favourite music with us!

I'm sure nobody wants a King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard AOTM

@Tillman ...or maybe you'll birth some new Gizzheads!

there's a few albums I can think of that I'd want to share... I haven't really been following along with these AOTMs tho...

@Wicked Dreamer Absolutely no stress if you haven't been following along - there are links to previous years on the Year 5 page to see what has been selected thus far and give you an idea of how much diversity we've seen in genres and styles so far. There have been many different styles and angles to presenting clues for guess threads too - basically, there is no wrong answer!

More blood for the blood god Joe.

@Corycm You're another one I should've tagged above!

@Ginormousthumbs You can repent for falling off the wagon by helping the rest of us buy more!

There’s no way we’d get access to that many Tabakin albums.

We're just gonna have to press our own!

in all seriousness, the album I'd love to pick is completely out of print and I don't think it'll ever get a repress, even I don't have a copy

Alright gang, sounds like it's time to put together a business plan to build the Needles & Grooves pressing plant!

I'm debating signing up but I'm nervous nobody will like what I pick. Social anxiety sucks sometimes, lol.

@WhiteDahlias I know that feel

@WhiteDahlias Social anxiety sucks a LOT of the time! For real.

If it helps at all, the AOTM is a pretty supportive environment where everybody wants you to succeed and are keen to listen. Nobody's out to yuck your yum, and most of us are pretty darn open to everything.

We need new blood! There are no bad picks!

For the convenience of any and all interested parties, here is a master list of all the AOTMs to date:

Look at all those genres!!

so if @avecigrec is running it, we're just gonna get 12 months of Sun Ra picks right??
