Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 3 - September 2019 /// Nicole Atkins - Goodnight, Rhonda Lee

[Teeeee]

Then that will be today's question!
Was the artist born in the United States?

 

[Kris]

Great question! Do you all want me to answer? Or give a bit of time for the west coasters to catch up?

I wanted to ask if I own it already but I think probably 80% of my 1400 records are made by women...

 

[Teeeee]

And here is the clue I was gonna provide.

This month's artist has never performed with Bey.

 

[supahypeag]

Neat! My wild guess has made it through another hurdle!

 

[mcherry]

Yes

Ha! Classic throwback

Ariana Grande - Thank u, next or sweetener

This rules out “She’s So Unusual” by Cyndi Lauper which was one I was thinking about guessing.

Ariana Grande - Thank u, next or sweetener

Pick one, s'il vous plait!

 

[tonythegamer]

Pick one, s'il vous plait!

sweetener seems a bit more difficult to get for less then $30 on vinyl, so I'll go with thank u, next

Looks like Alannis (Canadian) and Solange are out.

EDIT: along with La Roux (English)

EDIT X 2: and Anna Calvi (English)

...sigh @duke86fan makes this look so easy....

Solange was born in Texas...

 

[supahypeag]

She performed with Beyoncé

 

[Goatfish]

She performed with Beyoncé

DUH! Thank you

They performed my fave Bey song together and I totally lost it the first time I saw it!!!!

I recently picked up the MoFi reissue of this! Austerity measures would be very pleased if that had been the pick.

It’s probably funny that the austerity measures had to be imposed due to an impulse to get all the Babymetal concert Blu-rays...ah well...

 

[supahypeag]

DUH! Thank you

Eh I wrote my post badly. Sorry for the confusion. Again, duke86fan makes it all look so easy

Sarge wanted me to show off this t shirt from Kesha's Rainbow tour. And to say THIS is what merch should aspire to. View attachment 12972

Nice! I showed my 4 year old daughter this and she thought it was the best thing ever.

Your 4 year old daughter has great taste!

I can't wait until my sister deems my 5 year old niece old enough for me to take her to pop concerts!

 

[supahypeag]

I *think* Marina (Welsh), SOAK (Northern Ireland), and Ider (British) are ruled out.

Sadly, true.

I will say this though - SOAK is my AOTY (so far). But Ider is creeping up there! And I know @gaporter guessed it because I have played a few songs in the JQBX room and mentioned how much I like the album. I wouldn't consider Ider very poppy (although who said this month was pop???). It's rock/pop/punk/riot grrl. The Marina album is also excellent!!!
