DEAR TWOISMERS:
I am at "the creators project". Google it, look it up, whatever. i'm (slightly) drunk, on a shared-use computer on a random table, and not bothered to post the link.
Mira Calix is here. I spoke to her, in my BoC shirt and all, for about 20 minutes before she started her DJ set.
She doesn't think the new album will be out this year.
Her quote : "they're really anal." she doesn't know for sure, but she made a large hand gesture that meant "noooooo" when I mentioned new BoC, and basically rolled her eyes.
it was so cool to have a conversation with someone not just on the same record label as the bros., but who has a) covered a BoC track and b) had a track of hers remixed by BoC (she said something about a "pin skeeling" single from awhile ago? the first remix BoC ever did? i didn't know of it, maybe i heard it wrong.)
mira is so so so nice! it was incredible to meet her.
that is all.
There is no new album

That's pretty cool that you got to meet her. And ya, BoC remixed a song of hers called Sandsings from the album Pin Skeeling. It's pretty good.

fucking hell, while that clearly sucks...it's amazing you met Mira Calix!
(she's pretty hot as well
)
if you are reading this you are spending too much time at your computer. go outside and get some fresh air.
How sad,
Wonder if the next topic jumps the "they're really anal"-train
Or does that happen to be the current slang for 'a bit bored with everything related to organised sound'
BTW I got a new boc shirt for fathersday from the wife and kids meaning at least 3 things. My brown shirt is old and worn, I'm getting old and worn, Boc is getting old and ...

whooosh
i didn't bug her intensely about new BoC, but in the few sentences we exchanged about the topic, she made it seem like it wasn't done yet.
when she said "they're very anal" she apologized for that phrase not having an american translation. i told her i knew what it meant - and said something to the effect of "yeah, they're perfectionists" and she agreed. so it seemed like it's not just waiting around in red tape - but what the hell this is all speculation. honestly we talked more about the kinds of tracks she was DJing and old-school "bleepy" warp, and not BoC.

shaking head as if to say "no" while placing one hand by the neck to do that weird finger-cuts-throat motion - you know, the one that someone on the side of a stage might do towards someone who's taking too long with an award acceptance speech or something.
combined with the fact that this was a response to "new album this year?", that implied, to me, "nooooo new album this year".
sorry, hope that made sense

No problem! I sounded pretty blunt there to be honest, apologies.
The BoC plot thickens :/

Did she read the same recent Autechre interview I read? Funny how the same term gets used in this conversation.

She very well might have done. She is married to Sean Booth so she may take a fair bit of interest in Autechre's press.
