I know, just what you wanted – another Starflyer 59 puzzle! As you can read in the description for GC6MYD8, my geoname comes from this band which has been a favorite of mine for the past 20+ years. They are relatively unknown by the general public but have gained a lot of notoriety in indie rock circles.

 

With 14 full-length albums over the past 25 years and a host of other releases (EPs, singles, vinyl only and a box set), there’s a ton of content to choose from in creating a puzzle.

 

While my first puzzle dealt more with general trivia about the band and its members, this will be more about the music itself. You will need to use a streaming music service, to listen to songs in order to answer some of the questions. These questions are based on some of my favorite songs – so I hope you enjoy listening while you solve!

Congratulations to the5Millers for getting the FTF. And to quote a song title - "The Contest Completed."

Thanks for the fun puzzle cache! Couldn't find LostinDenver's replacement cache. Left a camoed FC-like container at the base of the shrub near the retaining wall with CO's permission.

I solved this one a while ago and put it on my list of solved puzzles. I'm starting to know quite a bit about this group!
Today, I was in the area and headed over to make the find. Beautiful neighborhood! I was here right as the sun was falling, so I didn't have much time to find it before my flashlight would be needed. But I thought ahead and had it with me, anyway. I searched and searched without luck. I found a couple of obvious places where I would hide a cache, but no luck. A phone call to the CO and he guided me to an area I had already searched. I did a thorough inspection, but still no container. So I replaced it with his permission. TFTC!

I enjoyed some of the songs. I wonder why they are not more well-known.

It was great to meet the cache owner today at the puzzle event. More puzzles please! Cheers!
