It's great isn't it? Can't wait to hear what JR thinks of it. Strange that he would get the ae promo early, but this late.

Strange that you would assume that I didn't get a promo...

you guys all realize it is now the 5th yes?

Yes, 5th of April, but the fact there's new BoC coming... well, we'll see, won't we?

It was supposed to, but sometimes life gets in the way and more important things take precedence.

to whom it may concern....does this thing that may or may not even exist have big spacey epic guitars on it like sevenfortyseven?

any non-reply to this question from whoever will mean a great big HELL YEAH!!!

joyrex when, roughly, can we expect to hear something 'official'?

I'm getting an air of Jurassic Park in that sentence...

Trying to write a cohesive response to all this "tee-hee shhhh new BoC coming soon" stuff is incredibly difficult. I'm sure someone else will say it much better than me, but surely I can't be the only one here who is annoyed by all this?

It's not even like I'm a rabid BoC fanboy. Yeah, I listen to them, but I rate other musicians as much higher on my own personal favourites. I'm not butthurt because there's no new BoC. I think I would rather the chapter were closed, if I'm totally honest.

It's more about the few 'privileged' individuals who try to make out that they shouldn't be saying anything about any such upcoming release, but keep harping on that something is coming soon (even though they're not supposed to be saying anything).

I'm in a conflicted position, because over the years I've been lucky enough to be in contact with my own personal music heroes, and I too have had 'insider' information. Sometimes I've tried to let out hints (and failed miserably for doing so) and now I've learned to basically keep my fucking mouth shut.

the whole MDG situation is proof in the pudding really. I have absolutely nothing against him at all, and I think he managed to get into a really uncomfortable position as 'unofficial (but admins say he's legit) spokesperson' for the band, and especially on here where we're quite often less forgiving. I do believe he meant well, and I'm sure I've said this before, but I really think he should've steered well clear of discussing new releases at all. Even during the Warp20 period.

I feel that the same approach would be wise for those that still post here too. Every time someone with some level of legitimacy around them posts something about an impending Boards of Canada release, by default they will be served with a massive fucking salt grinder. There will be ridicule, and tedium, and somewhere along the line the thread gets locked (rip BoC album cover thread ).

on the other hand, it's some form of promo (albeit some kind of music nerd tantric promo that never actually happens) and undoubtedly Warp would be grateful for some stirrings in the loins. (yes, retarded subtext courtesy of oscillik).

I don't even know what I'm trying to say anymore. I guess it all boils down to: if you've got information that you're permitted to speak of, say it as long as it's informative and definitive. if you're not allowed to talk about it, don't talk about it. all of this "hehehehe soon" stuff is just annoying.

sorry for the babblerant. :(

joyrex pls

I agree with you here Oscillik. The 'will they/won't they release another album' thing is beyond tedious now. Thankfully there's a fvck-tonne of other awesome music out there.

Until I see something from BOC officially, I am ignoring any and all threads related to the matter

Totally agree Lord O,

I was dabbling with the idea of saying something myself but too tired to be bothered with the effort. All this 'I know something that you don't' is getting on my tits.

Music Has the Right to Tee-Hee Shhhh.

I was enjoying the album art thread, why was it locked?

sometimes having children gets in the way too which is not a bad thing but could be a reason

its the constant over-promise / under-deliver that makes you go numb for anything boc related after a while

It must be ace being an electronic musician, the only job in the world in which you can retire after having kids.

Will I catch hate if I say I'm more content listening to Marconi Union at this point? I'm so burned out on BoC, I've started listening to those RnB tracks that one famous chick's sister "sampled" them in.
