Yer Ol' Uncle D
Well-Known Member
Three years pass, defenses are relaxed, security loosens, complacency sets in, entrances go unchecked, guards take untimely naps and just like that your resident weird uncle manages to slip back into the AOTM thread for another eccentric installment.
I had so much fun with the first one. It's truly an honor to go 'round again. I hope y'all have as much fun as I will.
This month is going to be a first and there's a backstory to that...
For those of you who may be unaware, I've operated my own free record club on the N&G Forum for close to a year. I often send out two or more records every month to the winners. When I was chosen to host the 2023 September AOTM, a few folks familiar with my crazy VMD venture posted comments from 'everyone is getting a free record' (I hate to disappoint, but, uh, no) to 'we're getting two records of the month'. Now the latter one.......hmmm. I pondered two records of the month and how I could make that work. Thanks to the crazy suggestion/challenge/joke of @Skalap, September 2023 will indeed be the first N&G AotM to feature two records. If it works as planned, I'm a genius. If it careens off the rails, well, @Skalap gonna have some explaining to do.
This month's records share a common connection. Since we're dealing with two LPs, the hints will be a little more abundant. Clues could apply to one or both of the records. The last go 'round, I had a prize so let's do that again. Not sure what it will be at this point, but I'll come up with something. I'm gonna run it the same way as last time - if you simply take a stab at one or both records, you earn an entry into the drawing. One entry per member so if you guess 10 records, that = 1 entry. If you're the first to correctly guess one of the records, you get an additional 5 entries into the drawing. If you're the first to guess both records, you earn an additional 15 entries into the drawing. That sound good? Good.
I know this is not the usual program and is a bit wacky, but hopefully the weird will turn out to be wonderful. Again, if this all goes to hell in a handbasket, please direct all inquiries to @Skalap.
Let's have some fun!
