NTN Encore Question of November 15th, 2008.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York, Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/9...our five win round. .............LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/9. OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...1st/9...my two boards and COSMO go 7 for 9 in this round along with CHATZ. ............LITBOX...11500/14000...1st/9. Jukebox...ROCKET...17500/20000...1st/9...my two boards and COSMO and METLCA win round with a sweep. ............LITBOX...17500/20000...1st/9. Triviaoke...ROCKET...20100/28000...1st/9. .............LITBOX...20087/28000...2nd/9...I take three -250s this round and some low scores and needed help to do that well. A lot of one word answers for songs I'd never heard before. I made my 20000 target by getting the six word Supremes song answer.
Now the question comes up. Objects? What could this be about. Rob and I notice one of these as an album title before the question.
Encore Question:...The cover of this 1994 album shows a sexy woman with bad makeup wearing a tiara:

Yep! It's just the album we were talking about. The one by Hole. Courtney Love. That makes three weeks in a row with an answer something about the Seattle sound. The Meat Puppets/Nirvana relationship. Pearl Jam's (same home town) song titles, and now this. I first owned this album when it came out on cassette tape.
Correct Answer:....3. Live Through This
[NTN Extra Fact:...The album by Hole was released the week after the death of Kurt Cobain.]
