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.]

I'm right and win as ROCKET at 30150. I finish 23rd in all North America. The bar is 5th in NA with a 28568 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 21000 points.
(ntn.com left us in 5th place out of 1703 bars)
