N&G AOTM /// Vol. 60 - June 2024 /// U.N.K.L.E.'s "Psyence Fiction"

[MadLucas]

I'm going to hold off on clues for the next day or two to see what else people come up with...
Sorry if these are ridiculously hard.
In fact, I am willing to answer clarifying questions you may have.

 

[cul8er]

1. Heavy Metal
Is brass considered "heavy?"

2. Weird Al Yankovic - "Twister"
I think this is a parody of Beastie Boys?

3. Tricky - "Hell Is Around The Corner," Massive Attack - "Eurochild"
Tricky = Crafty?


Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill

 

[Dirtbag Auntie]

Okay. I’ll play.

1-A soundtrack?

2-Beastie Boys?

3- Trip Hop? Portishead, Tricky, Massive Attack

Did the Free Tibet festivals come to vinyl?

 

[MadLucas]

So far for official guesses, we have:

Ozzy, Blue Oyster Cult, Polyphonic Spree, and Beastie Boys.

I'll say this: if you put all those things together, you are far closer than any one of those one their own.

Playing off of the first clue, I present:

Clue #5

 

[Dirtbag Auntie]

I have a couple of guesses but haven’t figured out how the line up to all the clues

When it is revealed, it's all going to make sense, I promise!

I know it will! I have faith in the process!

Try one out, I would love to see!

Clue #6

 

[MadLucas]

I really thought somebody would have guessed it by now...

Maybe I need to start making these clues a little more obvious.

Clue #7

 

[MadLucas]

CLUE #3 REVISITED:

While it would be tempting to look at the surface level of both of these and say "oh, they both feature Tricky," that actually is not the significance. Both of these songs use the same lyrical content, though the lyrics were recycled for one of the recordings.
The significance of this clue is that lyrics of one of the songs on the AoTM are blatantly and obviously borrowed from somewhere else.

 

[Dirtbag Auntie]

Ween-Chocolate and Cheese

This is one of the guesses I was sitting on.

Oooh, how did you arrive on this one?

 

[TrainFan73]

Oooh, how did you arrive on this one?

Magic.
