GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[Fredd-E]

Just like the Faastwalker video was around for years. Seems like they're just posting old stuff that people may have not seen before.

I wonder if they asked “permission” first before posting these videos. Most likely not.

Actually, my guess is yes they did. If you watch the original video on Ian Sklarsky's vimeo, there is a blast of noise or feedback at the very beginning of the video that doesn't exist in the copy on the BoC page. So the video's been edited somewhat. Also, the original video doesn't reference the music at all - so the video's basically been renamed on the BoC page from "Shot from the Air: selections of flight footage" to "Boards of Canada - Heard From Telegraph Lines - From the Trans Canada Highway EP on Warp Records (2006)."

They obviously credit Ian, which he did not do for Boards on the original, but I think it's professional courtesy to say "hey, we love your video, do you mind if we post it to our page?"

I follow your logic. This implies Ian and Faastwalker had advance knowledge and most likely had to “sign” a NDA.

I have no idea how Twitter works, but I just tweeted "@" them. I can't see any reference to that tweet on their profile (expected).

The likes they do, then, *could* have a bit of meaning - moreso than FB - as we wouldn't see those tweets unless they liked them, correct? If it were a hashtag, we could all view the tweets via the hashtag, but any "@"'s would have to be liked for us to see them?

Correct. Everything under the 'Likes' panel is something they've consciously interacted with, and I believe Twitter is the only platform to have a section dedicated to this.

By the way, my Sheol Boundary subscription had a blue dot this morning - with no new content. Is it just me or does this "blue dot appearing for seemingly no reason" only happen on BoC-affiliated youtube pages? I've not seen this happen on any of my other subscriptions without new content.

Cheers Sherbet! Understanding that now, their "likes" are certainly more entertaining - especially the "I figured it out" tweet. This all definitely feels very much Discordianism-like. The last few years have been so bleak and serious, a little bit of mischeivious fun is exactly what the BoCtor ordered....

I don't usually pay attention enough to these things to catch it...I don't think it would be too easy to test uploads in various scenarios to see how that dot can be manipulated. My guess is, and it's the same with the official Boards website (not the bleep store, but actual boardsofcanada.com, without the redirect) are being worked on behind the scenes and YouTube, for example, shows some signs of that activity - whether they wanted that sign to show or not.

If it's going to be a HI release, they could still use boards.com to develop in a production environment while the other sites are showing a black page, then, when it's time, update them all to support their HI release very easily.

this might not make any sense to non-americans, but as a upstanding BoCitizen, this is how I feel about participating in this hype train ...

lol don't trust the dots. We've already established it's a YT bug, but of course it's so easy to lose track of info like this.

Your fine during times like this are 10's of pages of content to sift through if you're away too long!

One of many cases on how this form needs to evolve to a new platform. It can't keep up with the volume of conversations happening simultaneously.
Of these almost 800 pages, I wonder how many are repeats of previous conversations?

Unrelated, but someone was asking about an audio only version of todays video post.

If you like fast paced discussions we have the Discord chat. but don't go after midnight, we get silly.

The fact that the video posted was heard from the telegraph lines and the fact that the twitter account was pretty much “reset” (besides profile pic and bio) shows that someone is watching us. The video could be a coincidence, but not the insta account. Either someone from Warp or BoC saw us talking about it, and they went to go compromise the account, or someone didn’t like us looking too closely.

I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss and call it a bug. The blue and red dots are accurate for all of my other subscriptions.

I’m fairly confident there is new activity when a blue dot appears, the new content may be set to private or unlisted with a preset “air” date.

The blue dots under the subscribed channels on are the notifications that the channel has done some activity which you haven't checked yet.

I don’t know 100% but if it is a bug, that’s a big damn bug for all of YouTube. The blue dot means new videos on YouTube, new videos = users on the platform / ad revenue for YT. I wouldn’t think a corporation would let a bug interfere with profit taking.

In response to all the "wife thinks I'm crazy" posts, I'll raise you one and say, "my gf think I'm crazy"

I remember when there was first a lot of twitter activity and I told her and she said, "their bunker finally got wi-fi."

[funnnnpng]

my nonexistent gf/bf would probably think i'm crazy right now

I have a theory on these mystery blue dots:

Both Sheol Boundary and AtalantaFugiens have the "Discussion" section available on their channel, and I noticed Sheol having the blue dot appear for me after some folks commented on the discussion board yesterday.

I'm going to do a quick post on both with "Testing blue dot theory", would be swell if someone confirmed if the blue dot appears or not.
