I can't believe all I have been doing for the last few days is floating between discussion pages waiting for the next big hint.. My mind is ready for this, no matter what kind of release it is!

So then, onwards and upwards....

Are we expecting the next clue tonight?? How do we think it will be distributed? I've a feeling WATMM might still have a role to play in this. Or will they go mad and run a TV 'blip' like Radiohead did when Kid A was released?

Man I love all this :lol:

Think the only type of show they could do now is a livecast on the internet.

I would be so fucking happy with that. Ofcourse, a real live performance would be better. But i'd absolutely settle with just this.

I'd still like to see that. Don't see live shows happening, they definitely wouldn't do a lot, so they would be proper jammed as Ciarán said.

The next clue will be distributed on twoism forum by BoC themselves with a link to the warp store where first 100 people get a signed copy of the new album using the 36 digit code :)

Does somebody like MDG has the power to do this? Just curious who could have changed the banner.


Bet it was that slippy tit Aesthetics

:-)


But if it was, maybe he knows more!


If he does, he must have been brought into the loop in the last day or so. When the record in NYC was first revealed, he called it BS! : )

Could be part of the agreement was that he was asked to play along and be a skeptic in the beginning to stoke the fires. We'll probably never know...yay for NDAs. ;)

Maybe he planted the code in the banner under orders from the BoCman! It was either him or MDG or the other Mods. They're doing their bit in the background.

I'd really love something like a webcast where they only play a show in front of a handful of friends. Technology has progressed to the point that they could play for a huge audience without the stresses of travel or not wanting to appear in front of large crowds - whatever it is that has held them back from this in the past should now be a non issue.

Sorry if this was mentioned before, I'm sure it has.


Still a valid theory IMO. Good to see you again Polar. It's been a long time since we did this. Only a bunch of cryptic messages like this could get a couple of old twoismers really throwing theories around...especially after all this dead air.


Like wise! Hope all is well with you. Yes, these are good times for Twoism! So many awesome ideas, new people, so happy about all of it. Like you said, for the Older Twoismers, It's good to see an explosion of freshness after a long several years!

hi guys !

just checked the myspace profile of boc and i think there's been some changes.
maybe i'm wrong, but i think there was another profile picture and there were songs from boc on the page.
although the general info says: Last Login: 8/11/2012

I know people on the forum initially thought it was a mere coincidence that a guy named Markus Boc is being interviewed in the video, but that was before the reference to the virus was found in the banner. gif.


His name is actually Markus Deirsbock but i imagine the Boc is only there just help in our treasure hunt.


Well, BoC might as well be reading everything we say, and put the reference of that hex site in the banner - and make it seem like it's connected somehow..?

Probably no interest :

Well I know this is a stretch but I may as well indulge the ridiculously unlikely-to-mean-anything theory that those hex colours look like a field being harvested :P

Seriously, I'll go upstairs to take a piss and then there'll be seventy more pages. I'll read through the seventy pages and find that the album is out today!

Then I'll find the album's out of print.

Forever.
