Sigh, I’m with Isaac drinking some wine hoping for enlightenment! Tried a few things but not seeing “it”!

Hoping for some "post-enlightenment", because right now I'm LAS with Isaac & the crew.

I found a method that perfectly yields a band fitting the description, so that has to be it (can’t be coincidence), but I’m not sure I understand the connection to the title? I’m submitting now… anyone else scratching your head?

I haven't even printed the puzzle yet, I just like to check in about this time Thursday evenings to see if the puzzle is a 3-pager, or a 14-pager in this forum.
And at 9:30 p.m. EST, it's a 3-pager...which puts me in an interesting head space, equal parts: (a) "Heck, I should just give up now, save myself the angst" on the one hand; versus (b) My admitted alpha competitor genes kicking *RIGHT* into gear, yep.
With this much time before midnight Sunday, I can afford to be spicy, so: IT'S *ON* GAFFNEY. I'M COMING FOR YOU, BUB!!*
*[I reserve the right to later claim this whole post was those darned hackers again. Ahem.]

On shore! Thought I was in a rabbit hole, but it played out. Just bought a bottle of Old Forrester 1910, so might as well crack it open.

Ashore. Very nice. Similar to @MileHighSolver I thought I was in a rabbit hole but it was just _too good_ to ignore.

Ashore. I can't say why, but the answer to this one is going to leave more than a few meta solvers saying "...Hey, wait a minute..."

(Part of) the title meant something to me right off - but only from a certain (non-musical) context. I don't think I've heard it used in this way outside of that context. And I felt like it helped me catch the mechanism - but I did wonder if others would make that same connection because I'm not sure how many others would be familiar with that context.HeadinHome wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 9:07 pm I found a method that perfectly yields a band fitting the description, so that has to be it (can’t be coincidence), but I’m not sure I understand the connection to the title?

Sigh. It takes so many words to say something when you're trying not to say too much.

Yes - I feel like I might be missing some piece of cultural awareness or phraseology or meme that would make the title make sense with my answer. We shall see!

On shore. Knocked a few down and stumbling to my room for the night.
