This thread is amazing. It's been ripped up, torn down, and smashed to bits. I love you, thread!

I hear the Sandison's are going to do a remix of the great american classic Grease 1978

I found the image on Google images.

Sorry, guys. I'm no hexagon official.

Also, I'm just curious as to something: How much credibility and trust do you guys put in the posts by mdg and Joyrex? A lot? None? Very little?

i don't know much about joyrex or watmm, but seeing as sometimes he makes practical jokes, not too sure.

mdg, on the other hand; he's never given us a reason not to trust him. he gives us the best information as accurately as he can at the time. whether in a few months that information changes, that is not his fault. he does his best with what he has, at least from what i've seen.

As we all know too well, there's plenty of trolls out there and frankly I'm surprised this question hasn't been asked before. Strangely enough though, I do have a lot of trust in mdg. I've never seen Joyrex posts before, however.

I just got an idea to take an EP of mine and just rename it to correspond with these titles. It'll be hilarious in an inside-jokingly manner.

Question: Does BoC actually consider this long wait to be a good strategy to build fan anticipation? Because as far as I can tell there really aren't as many people who are waiting like us. Most people will be like "Oh, a new Board of Canada album. I remember them. Old school, man!" and then they might not even get a copy.

Lack of fan communication would probably work for a band like Radiohead, who everyone listens to whether they actually like them or not.

Basically, Warp will have to advertise the crap out of their next album, because there's a chance that it might go unnoticed by a lot of people. People know Autechre because they have a steady flow of releases. People know Aphex Twin because he has enourmous of fanboys who idolize him (and not to mention, he still does shows). BoC has neither of those points.

I also think it may fail to generate buzz because most people wouldn't realize the significance of a new BoC release.

I'm thinking BoC isn't enough of a heavy-hitter to be pulling this "we can take our sweet time because that will make it more successful" approach. Regardless of whether the music is any good.

If that's not what they're doing then whatever. I hope they aren't.

I read this forum often to see if there is any news on new material and i've seen a lot on mdg, im sorry if this question has already been answered but, is there actually any evidence that he knows them?

Honestly I don't think they give a fuck, and I say that with no hostility. I doubt their lives are centralized completely around making music anymore (and making money off of said music). They don't seem like the kind of group that tries to sell themselves - If the album is good it will get recognized. Also I think you're underestimating how large their fanbase is..

Well they (or somebody) logged into the MySpace yesterday.
Hoorj!

Did they listen to more bad music?

Probably. I guess not all of them are losers that waste time posting here (like me).

MDG, I dare you to reply to this, to which I agree. I dare you to say anything.

He won't. We've been calling him out for months.
