After the absolute nothingburger of the Cosecha site changes, this actually feels more promising. fingers crossed.

Just watched them all in a row... Once this might have felt laid on a little thick, but now it just feels more relevant than ever.

Feels like this could be connected to LP5 or the Online Safety Act, given that the original version of this track was about the censorship of adult materials. Or even some other comment on the state of things.

(Or, an unserious thought - perhaps the reason they haven't released LP5/BOCSET is some kind of legal/sample issue and this is their way of telling the world).

This is actually one of the better ideas I've read so far with regards to the 12x OVIT playlist update.

I have the feeling that it's 12x OVIT simply because it was the last video on this playlist, or was it?

However, first the cosecha redirect, now the playlist thing.. I think they are actively instructing us to monitor the yt channel.

They added 11 more OVITS today. There was only one. A few days ago it had 154 videos, today 165.

It's 11 newly added, different videos for OVIT all added to the start of the playlist. Adding in the older one, their Youtube playlist now starts with 12, separate, music videos of OVIT. So if you play their playlist you get put through them all back to back.

That absolutely has to be intentional and it's not something someone working for Warp managing their channel would ever have any reason to do.

12 years since the last album, 12 - One Very Important Thoughts. Could be related, or not.

Yes, I know. I mean, because ovit was at the top of the playlist before, they've now added 11 more. If sunshine recorder had been at the top, they might have added sunshine recorder 11 times by now.

I have no doubt that it is intentional and significant.

Right, I get you now. Picking out 11 different videos for that particular song definitely feels like sending a message, but it's good to keep in mind it was the top video before too.

It's not the first time. 2024-04-01: they changed their video playlist and put the song "One Very Important Thought" on top. This was likely their counter reaction to Scotland's controversial new hate crime law. The government insists the law, coming into force on Monday, is needed to protect victims but critics say it limits freedom of expression.
