What's that in the lower right corner of the poster? Looks mechanical and i don't think it's a reflection?
Edit: nevermind likely just a chair
ohmergherd I want that poster
So I tweeted BEAM records about this poster and got this reply.
how can you even "reserve CD" when their online store is how it is (in japanese and unnavigateable...)
Well I don't really understand what they mean. Do they mean they are giving away these posters with all pre-orders? Surely not, it's massive. Or do they mean if I specifically reserve a CD with them, they will give me it off of their wall? Either way I don't speak Japanese so I'm fucked.

How do we know it's an acetate dubplate btw? Was that revealed by the seller? I guess that means it's only got around 50 plays until it noticeably degrades.
I thought the guy who bought it mentioned it was, but maybe that was fan speculation because you'd think he'd mention it in the listing. But I don't suppose that really matters too much. It's not really something you'd play over and over, it's more of a show/sentimental piece. But a high quality rip would be cool.
I am running through the moment I place this vinyl on the deck, sit back with a glass of something and immerse myself in the Boccersphere once again. It's been a while.

then there is Chernobyl, japan's big scare(s) and our own mishaps. near san franscico, we have had them come and go. why, just look at these lovely backyard installations...quite the pastoral setting...
...was closed by federal regulators in 1977, after the U.S. Geological Survey reported that a fault line might run closer to the facility than previously suspected.
...they worry about the used fuel rods that owners of commercial nuclear power plants ship to Vallecitos for study. Vallecitos has "hot cells," places for handling radioactive material such as spent fuel rods. The rods are shipped to Vallecitos by truck. Once examined, the used nuclear fuel is stored on site, in a chemically stabilized form. Turner said Vallecitos has taken in about 300 to 350 kilograms of spent nuclear fuel - or about 660 to 770 pounds - over the years.
"You're storing nuclear waste within feet of a fault line," Kelley said. The possibility of a highway accident involving a shipment of used fuel rods...
Will not listen to a leak, but will listen to the digital copy. Hope it comes around June 6th, going to a free live show that night - no better way to put a cap on spending the day hiking around with the new album on repeat.
Yeah I'm not gonna lie, if a digital download is available before the record comes out, I will listen to it. Scouts honor I won't listen to a leak though (not saying I wouldn't be tempted). Especially if it's only like one or two songs that got leaked, at least for the first time I wanna hear the album in the order they intended it to be heard.
I live in a shitty little town, but not too far from nyc so I'd really like to go to a listening party or something. I miss music being a communal experience for me.
honestly you're all a bunch of liars if you think you won't listen to a pre-released track of Boards of Canada. you know you would, if a real one actually got leaked.
it wouldn't be that bad if it was one or two tracks, just think of them like you think of singles for an album, and if the whole album leaked in high quality 320kbs, I still doubt that anyone here wouldn't try and get their filthy ears in it.
If I did, I would still buy it though. I'm not a fan of pirating music from good artists.

I don't really have any ethical problems with listening to a leak if you're gonna by it, I just kind of have a delayed gratification fetish. I'm not really into singles for the same reason.
But what's that saying? "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak".
