Kevin Keegan used to live across the road from me. True story

As a Newcastle United fan I wish to learn more about this. Set you to your task.

It was 1977 I believe, when he played for Scunthorpe United.

I’m legit excited about The Protection of Happiness Generator. Not all remixes are created equal. Some are basic rehashes of their buddies’ songs (Mr. Mistake, Treat ‘em Right, Dead Dogs Two). But others are masterfully re-imagined by the brothers. Examples:

Beck (Broken Drum)
Sexual Objects (Sometimes)
Boom Bip (Last Walk Around Mirror Lake)
Slag Boom Van Loon (Poppyseed)
Others

My true hope and wish is that this remix is one of the latter and not the former. Who’s with me?

In making your work, who takes on the specific roles?

Marcus: "Mike has become a source of inspiration for the core of the songs, he always has unique melodies and strange and wonderful ideas."

Mike: "Marcus' strengths are a great combination of musical experience. He is a great music producer and also the anti-producer in a way. A kind of guru in many ways."

very interesting

[magrathea_ultima]

Still crickets I see…

Disappointing, but not surprising.

[Fredd-E]

Still bitterness I see...

Disappointing, but not surprising.

[Chodlington]

Wow..

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but The Protection of Happiness Generator *is* the Sometimes Remix. Seems like it was simply renamed for this upcoming release.

[Turbo Moe]

How do you know this as a fact?

[OneVeryImportantFart]

Well if it is just a renamed remix then I guess we can all finally get the message they are so desperately trying to hint at (that the show is over) and we can all get on with our lives? Maybe then freeze the site and keep it as a museum piece?

ignorance of your culture is not considered cool

[OneVeryImportantFart]

What is cool about being cool these days?

Some questions:

How does the renaming of a song indicate that BoC are no longer a going concern?

What's preventing you from getting on with your life?

Why have so many people got a hard on for BoC being defunct?

That would be a major troll.. and it's the last track of the album.

Though none of the other tracks on the album are new, are they? We'll find out about our own Happiness Generators on Friday. Morale will definitely be down if it is the Sometimes remix.

It's hot outside so being cool is already cool

Really? Is it just a speculation of yours or it's been confirmed?

[Scyye]

Unless the label themselves are tolling (which I highly doubt), it is confirmed. The wav files for the album have been available to Patreon members since August 18.
