Also I might be wrong but it looks like someone got all of mister 8s plagurism taken down.

G is the 7th letter of the alphabet.
F is the 6th.

The rest of the letters would add up to 76?
How do you math that?

Or am I going the wrong way on this one?

An A1Z26 cipher gives gpsftibepx for the numbers in the video description. There are six letters after F in this group of letters and six underscores after F in the video title.

If there are supposed to be seven letters between G and F in the group of letters obtained from the video description, as there are seven underscores between G and F in the video title, then five letters are missing.

The numbers after the equals symbol in the video title have a space between them, which I think might suggest that the numbers are not a sum but a cipher. Although, interestingly, the numbers given by the A1Z26 cipher for the letters after F in the group of letters from the video description do add up to 76.

I've tried adding letters after G which are as far apart in the alphabet as the letters after F, and also track from missingtrack, but I can't see anything significant.

I've been using this to find possible cipher texts, if it's of interest to anyone.

I've tried crossword and anagram solvers too but nothing obviously relevant comes up.

I definitely think it's a cypher.
But wow, it's vague to me.
I'll keep trying.

Thanks for that link.

I'm usually not the one that talks about this. Such as new videos/speculation and whatnot.

But since I'm doing so, Sequoia Films has used the original audio from the VHS as the soundtrack to a new video.

Could the brothers finally be releasing a film?

That is, IF this is BOC.

If not, I'm still confused as to who this is and what they're end game is.

I'm still intrigued. But one suggestion to the creator...

More music. I would like more music to listen to tomorrow.

I've already got NTFMTS' stuff on the list. But i can always use more.

You sure love your sounds, I'll see to sending you some more music shortly. :wink:

Until then, I'm quasi suspicious of Sequoia Films.
This project has already shown from their channel that the editing and production is top notch. As is the mystery VHS.
If you put the two together, they don't seem that odd of a pair stylistically.

Edit: this feels real odd doing the speculating on this topic and not observing for once!

A new post has appeared on the Seeburdz Tumblr page, explaining that many missing tracks will be uploaded here. The cipher text reads rowortom.

https://user-dbz22819.tumblr.com/post/6 ... ks-archive

The post includes a link to a new video on channel 4226. The cipher text in the video description gives sixtimesseventy.



The image in the post, and the text below the image, leads to a youtube channel by the name of Missing Tracks Archive.

These new clues are very direct. We might be reaching the end of this mystery.

I wish I'd thought to try that! It does seems that if you use a Caesar cipher where A=Z gpsftibepx becomes foreshadow.

Something to bare in mind.

EDIT: I've just found that the search tag TVSG gives gift if A=N and surf if A=Z. The first might be a coincidence.

I'm speculating...
But all of this activity, and all of the other activity from BOC related stuff like Twitter, etc, seem to be pointing at things that are old.

To me, this indicates that the message is, "We are releasing old stuff." Or the BOCset as people call it.

There have been no hints at anything truly new, right? They might like a tweet asking about a new album but that doesn't necessarily mean it's an album of 'new' music, does it?

Just something I've been throwing around my head lately.

In order for this to work i have to make the assumption that the VHS tape is them somehow. So...
