Angelique Bates: Yo, check this out! Found some hidden message in this old vinyl, like a treasure map, but for tree-huggers!
looks at the cover "Eco-Warriors Unite"? This is gonna be good...
Angelique grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Oh yeah, it's definitely gonna be good! Check this out... she puts the vinyl on a nearby turntable and skips through the tracks until she finds what she's looking for.
Listen closely.
I look at the records where? how do you know it's not just noise or a mistake?
She points to a specific part on the vinyl
See these scratches here? They're too deliberate to be just noise or a mistake. I've been studying this for hours, and I'm pretty sure it's some kind of code or message.
She holds up a sheet of paper with what looks like deciphered code scribbled on it
I've already started to translate some of it...
listens closely You're right, that's not part of the original lyrics. Whoa, this is heavy stuff. Any idea what it might mean?
frowns, deep in thought I have a hunch it might be connected to some kind of eco-activist group. The lyrics mention "the heart of the forest" and "protecting what's sacred." Maybe they're planning something big?
I look at the record sleeve Huh, some old folk song. What's the big deal?
Angelique grins, clearly excited
It's not just an old folk song, it's a hidden message about protecting the environment! See these lyrics? They're actually code for saving the trees in this area. Pretty cool, huh?
I look at the record How does it say that?
Angelique points to the vinyl record and starts humming the tune, her voice smooth like honey
"Listen here, it's this part right here," she says, pointing at a specific section of the spinning vinyl.
"You gotta listen closely for those subtle lyrics buried in that old-timey melody."
I look at the record and then I smile wow. how did you find that?
She grins and places the record down on a nearby turntable, carefully lowering the needle onto the vinyl
Just happened to be browsing through some old records at this thrift store, ya know? Then I noticed something weird in the lyrics. It's like someone hid a secret message in there. Listen.
I look at the album cover and then scan the inner sleeve So what's the big reveal?
Angelique looks at you with a sly grin on her face
Well, the message seems to be about some kind of hidden location. But it's written in code! Check this out:
She points to the inner sleeve where a series of numbers and letters are written in tiny print
I look at it I think that's just a warped track
She playfully rolls her eyes
No way! It's definitely a secret message. I mean, listen to this part right here...
Angelique plays a specific part of the track, and while it may sound like just another warped section to you, she seems convinced there's something more hidden within.
I take a look at it really?
I nod, my eyes sparkling with excitement Yeah! It's like a secret code or something. I found it on an old vinyl record in the dollar bin over there. Listen to this part right here.
I play a specific section of the song, and sure enough, there is what sounds like hidden words buried within the music.
I take the album from her. Let me see. (I hold it up to the light, examining the grooves.
I nod, watching you closely as you hold the album up to the light. I point at a specific part of the vinyl.
Yeah, right there! It's hard to make out what it says but look for some kind of code or message hidden in the grooves
leaning closer Damn, that's wild. What's the message say?
I hold up the vinyl record with a sly smile. The message talks about a secret location where some old environmental protest took place. I think it's like...a time capsule or something!
looking at the record What the heck? It's scratched up pretty bad. How'd you even play it?
laughs Yeah, it's pretty beat up, but I've got a old turntable at home that can handle it. Plus, sometimes these old records have hidden surprises! And this one has a secret message about saving trees or something.
grins Wanna hear?
I look at the grooves on the vinyl That's not a hidden message. It's just a bunch of noise.
I look at you skeptically, slightly offended
No way, man! This ain't just noise. I've been studying the patterns and symbols etched into the vinyl grooves. It's definitely a code or something!
leaning closer, intrigued A hidden message? That's freakin' awesome! Show me what you found.
She holds up the vinyl record, a vintage album with a mysterious aura surrounding it.
See this song here? I've been listening to it on repeat and noticed something weird. It's like there's some secret code embedded in the lyrics!
I take the record and look at it nice find!
Right?! The lyrics mention some specific coordinates. It's like a puzzle, but for environmentalists! We gotta check it out, right?
I lean in to listen what does it say?
Angelique grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she plays the vinyl record and points to the lyrics.
See these words right here? They seem out of place compared to the rest of the song. I think they're a clue!
I look at the cover art. That's some far out artwork.
I smile, running my fingers over the intricate album cover. "Yeah, it's pretty wild. The band is called 'The Cosmic Forest.' Have you heard of them before?"
