THIS IS NOT A DRILL
STAY CALM
CMON I SAID STAY CALM
WHY ARENT YOU STAYING, okay I'm calm, it's a like not a retweet, clearly we should not expect a new album and they hate us.

I am calm.

[demo]

I suspect they didn't retweet because they want to keep it on the down low for now, a retweet would alert everyone, this is a little treat for us hardcore fans.

But I feel it, it's the calm before the storm, we must really be close now...

I can't believe that actually worked, thanks Fredd-E !!!

[Twentington]

A like instead of a retweet of boc pages post, maybe it's going to be an old album..

I think demo said it best. It's just yet another subtle confirmation of a new project (old/new) to come. A retweet would've been too much because that surely wouldn't fit with Warp's marketing plans.

Take the following into consideration. The hardcore fans are only a very small subset of their total social media followers. Only that small subset is likely to see the given like and draw a conclusion out of it. It would be a totally different scenario if they would retweet it to all their followers. Snowball effect.

Twitter

• bocpages: 1,3K followers
• boc: 51,1K followers

Facebook

• bocpages: 12K followers
• boc: 465K followers

Instagram

• bocpages: 2,9K followers
• boc: 21,2K followers

Agreed! The like is just coy enough, as a retweet would have been letting the cat out of the bag too quickly. I'm optimistic!

[Navaru]

Good Satan, I would love a spring/summer reinsurance, or at least one made up entirely of Smokey the Bear samples. That like is about as direct as it can get without spilling over.

[Magrathea]

This might not be the retweet I asked for, but I'll take it.

Has anyone actually tried to poke David Firth for info... he's a massive fan, he's used their material before, he's English...

[Biznasty]

fruition looms.

[drixlin]

Well if this doesn't make me smile!

I would agree with the logic of like vs. retweet, that makes sense. Alright, I'm feeling a bit more hyped now...

Cheers Fredd-E!

[Orbited insanitarium]

I'm also chuffed! This certainly bodes well for stargate.zine in May.

Ah, maybe they have an exclusive to announce the new album and a retweet could take that potential hype away, too.

Either way, this feels like it's happening...for real this time

I've spoken to Mr Firth a couple of times about BoC, he's just a massive fan like us, he doesn't even know if BoC (or Aphex Twin) are aware of his use of their music in his videos, I think he has some communication with Warp, and is really close with Flying Lotus, but that's it.

I wouldn't go asking David questions, he doesn't know anything and is probably very busy working on his next amazing animation

[SamuraiDrifter]

I talked to Yoni Wolf from Why? about BOC within the last couple of years and he had no idea what was going on with them either. I think the only ones who would know are people like MDG and Peter Iain Campbell, and they're keeping tight-lipped ("I can't say anything, but.... Sit tight." -PIC)

While I understand the excitement in wanting info, I would be shocked (and saddened) if anyone who is trusted by them spoiled any info. It's kind of a shitty thing to do (as a trusted friend, for example) that I, personally, wouldn't answer even if I did know. I also likely wouldn't tolerate it well to have people asking me, either.

[Echelon]

Next step: BOCpages should ask the BOC transmission to "Like if it's coming this year"

[Biznasty]

Yes! let's slowly extract release info through increasingly specific twitter likes.

if we do it subtly enough theyll give away everything and wont even realize it.

This is a new revolutionary release campaign of playing twenty questions on Twitter.

Though one things for certain: it'll probably be sixty minutes unless it's a double album.

Also Arcade Fire beat BOC to releasing the big epic statement about the 2020s in May. Though they're taking the Bono approach as usual.

[derp!]

could it be a bot programmed to like keywords?

did anyone say something nice to them at some point and not get that like? still doubtful that they really run that account.

this crazy fucknut cant be the voice of reason here..

mdg? help?
