Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 4 - October 2019 /// Camarón de la isla - La leyenda del tiempo

Maybe @agutierrezb picked up an OG, but coordinated with Universal and is getting us a special edition where Elis and Tom's eyes are shiny blue and a special brown galaxy vinyl from GZ...

As I used to say when VMP was announcing colored variants every two days : "as long as it's flat!"

My copy of the ROTM is completely flat and dead quiet, which is surprising, since the mailer it came in was super beaten up.
I hope everyone's copies are as flat as mine.

 

[D Jilla]

I'm just going to assume that @agutierrezb got an advance copy from the estates of Elis and Jobim when he was arranging the AMA with the grandkids

 

[agutierrezb]

I don't like this consensus about the pick. Keep on guessing! I want hot debates about which album fits better the clues, otherwise I won't be able to create a hectic situation at the end, giving clues that fit the two frontrunners.

 

[gafacaode]

Soooooo, did we guess it already?

 

[agutierrezb]

I'll tell you next week. I plan to give you another hint tomorrow or saturday. I'll come back on tuesday and see what you have come up with, and decide whether or not to tell you if the album has been guessed.

 

[dhodo]

I'm still waiting for the it's not Brazil hint. Then we'd have absolutely no idea.

I'm not telling you the country of origin until the day of announcement. The next hint will be related to the artist's place of birth, though.

 

[ThePakoBuelna]

I'm starting to feel anxious for my thread next month lol. I hope I can do it as half as good as @agutierrezb has.

 

[supahypeag]

If it's Elis and Tom, the country of origin is the United States (The City of Angels)

Well, well, well, my e-mail notification shows me this message:



Seem like there's been some editing, from "his place of birth" to "the artist's place of birth"

OMFG! It's a male artist? It's not Elis Regina?

Unless he edited it because there is a he and she in Elis and Tom. Just to play Devil's advocate.

True, very plausible

Hahaha I knew someone would catch this. I initially wrote "his" because English is not my first language and I'm pretty bad at gender-neutral English. In all honesty the "his" was just a bad translation of the genre-neutral "su" in Spanish.


Or it could have been a Freudian slip, who knows? *shrugs*

 

[Dtknuckles]

Why did I find this surprizing in Elis' wiki?

"Elis Regina died at the age of 36 in 1982, from an accidental cocaine, alcohol, and temazepam interaction. "

You mean you wanted to say "the artist" and used "he" instead. I make this mistake every time.

Exactly

Also plausible, I have the same issue with Portuguese

After spending hours researching the top Brazilian artists, the most surprising part of that statement to me is "Elis Regina died"

Every time I run across a new artist I'm disappointed to see they're still alive
