I'll admit, June 9th has some good windup fuel behind it:

- Day 160 of 2018 (count of videos on playlist)

- 3/11/12 tweet got nuked when it was 5 years and 17 days old. Sixtyniner is 5:17. It was replaced by Dayvan Cowboy later the same day, the only "official" video to make it into the mix so far.

- The deletion of that tweet caused the tweet/like sum to briefly drop to 78. Video 78 was Hey Saturday Sun. June 9th is a Saturday this year.

- Video 80 is Sixtyniner (half of 160)

Warning! very loose coincidental stuff:

The glitches on Warp and bleep where the tracks on TH are wrong and the Peel Sessions artwork links to different artists peel sessions could allude to something. Bear with me... The peel sessions links to Black dog artwork for some reason, (and so does Ae weirdly) but that might just be a clue to look at the peel sessions cover, which has the date on it, 21/7/98. 20 years later lines up with the Blue Dot festival at Jodrell Bank where the Lovell telescope is. Not sure about anyone else but this is the perfect backdrop to see/hear BoC. The tracks that are jumbled on Warp site have tele in the name, telepath is missing and telephasic workshop is there randomly. Now I don't think we're talking a BoC gig but maybe we are talking a transmission teaser, like when they did the Cold Earth stream for TH. The reason behind what they did with the track mixup could be a clue. track 5 is missing (telepath) Transmissions ferox replaces it. transmission at 5pm? maybe 5.16 to be exact because telephasic workshop is now track 16.
Blue dot festivals logo is a hexagon haha!

Of course, this could be the ramblings of a dickhead.

The fact that Ae's peel sessions links to black dog too and the fact that another track of BoC's contains "Tele" and was not used throws spanners in the theory. (spanners links to black dog, woah! jk)

Just as feasible as any other idea.
Would love to see BoC at Joderal Bank or an old nuclear airfield. One that used to fly Vulcans for example.

I like the Peel Sessions theorizing. The tracklist for TH (at least on Warp's website) has been screwed up for a long time, maybe even as far back to last year when the other errors were kicking around on Soundcloud hinting at the Mr. Mistake picture disc release date, which was also released on 7/21 of last year.

My mind is balanced between this theory being a bit too far-fetched and it being actually quite plausible. I visited the Bluedot Festival website and it sure looks like a place for BoC-related stuff.
Good job Geogandhi for connecting the dots!

Now that I think about it, that Peel Session link error could just be a hint for LAST year ala Soundcloud that no one just ever noticed until now.

True, could be. However 20 years means something this year as we have seen (20 years since MHTRTC) which DJ food is doing another show the day before the Blue dot date. Could they both show a teaser?
Forgot to mention earlier... The link with the words "tele" in the tracks couls mean the transmission will be projected on the Lovell "tele"scope.

And yeah, it's pretty flawed but like ^^^ said, as plausible as any other speculation.
Kinda fun thinking about it all too.

Brain candy for you:

3/22 (Buckie High) +84 days = 6/14 (LSD tweet #1 date / 6x14=84)

6/14 +36 days = 7/20 (O is for Orange date, LSD tweet #2 date split from 10/14 to 7/20)

7/20 +34 days = 8/23 (3/28 in reverse - noteworthy date used in 2017 and 2018)

More simply,

6/14 +70 days = 8/23 (Day 808 of the ARG)

it's not going to happen, but there's something new for you to chew on for the near future.

I like 8/16 as well, since number 801 (ie. day 801) stands for the Alpha and Omega

It's been awhile, when do you think we'll hear from them again? I'll laugh if it's tomorrow or the 30th, especially the latter...

I don't know.

I'm just here waiting for an ounce of speculation or rumour. :P

Why 6/30? Aside from being the last day of the first half of the year (split your infinities in 2018 and all that) there's some interesting stuff going on:

- Macquarie Ridge (the original post in the ARG) is 4:57. The followup post was a vague retweet, Broken Drum. The song has a drumbeat that plays backwards. 4:57 backwards is 754. Day 754 is 6/30.

- The original Broken Drum tweet was from 7/2, but I believe it was retweeted by BoC on 7/7 based on posts here. The sum is "14" in either case, multiplying one and adding the other. 6/6 and 6/30 are in the same boat with "36".

- 6/30 is 113 days after the first post of the year (3/9) - we all know that I love 311/113 in the context of this thing.

- If we bounce 6/30 off the most recent post instead, Buckie High (3/22), it's 100 days. Video 100 on the playlist is Macquarie Ridge.

Thus concludes the end of your June windup report, cheers.
