People, face the fact that the brothers make fun of us. The internet is evil, they just don't take us serious with our obsession. They send out mdg to raise our hopes and afterwards he keeps silent. No continuation. They put a black box with the very accurate knowledge what this means for us and then that's it. Disappointment guaranteed. But they don't care.

Become aware of the fact that we have to wait and stop making all those theories and keep our hopes up. No mdg, no website, nothing eases waiting. Don't trust anything until you can actually buy the new record. We only were fucked in the past.

I agree actually. Fuck my optimism before, I'm waiting until it's confirmed. There's more important things.

I picture the Sandison household something like this:

Michael Sandison: "Hey bro, check out what they're saying on Twoism again. They're saying we'll release a new album 1969 days after Trans Canada Highway."

Marcus: "Really? lol those guys are retarded. Not every fucking thing we do involves numerology."

Michael: "I know, right? Lets go listen to the only copy of our new album with some friends, and then burn it."

Well undoubtedly one day you may be right, even if it's only some sort of posthumous release 50 years from now.

Let's look at this from a new angle - how many remixes have BoC released in the past six years? I can't remember anything outside of that backing track for that group Why (?), and for all we know that was something already accomplished and modified for that track. Doesn't look like a group that is actively creating music to me.

In comparison, how many remixes during the Geogaddi to Campfire Headphase gap?

probably not a lot of stuff gets released because they don't want the bad stuff getting released.
they probably create hundreds of little loops, samples, and songs.
and no offence to them, or anyone else, but as any other music maker probably knows, more than half the stuff one creates is usually utter shit.

they may just be very careful of what gets out of hexagon sun. the only stuff that gets out is the stuff that passes their quality test. thus, we have the music we have (studio albums, live, etc)

Sometimes I listen to R35TT an think some of that might have been that, the little loops, or "collateral music" as I think they've called it before now. Some of it, anyway, I know some of it definately isn't.

So your theory is that the lack of any remixes in the last six years is a sign that they can no longer produce quality music, rather than a sign of inactivity?

People always tell you to be optimistic, when that's actually the absolute WORST advice you can give someone.

The exact opposite of everything. Though it doesn't actually have a name. A closer representation would be .

nothing is more than a lack of something, nothing is intangible, yet at the same time nothing can be a state of awareness, a realization that there is more to life than acquiring objects.

sometimes nothing is more than something.
