But I'm starting to think that they're no longer good stewards of a band like BoC, basically. They had them on roster when they were really, REALLY cool, and that made THEM look cool, and in this day and age, who is even into BoC? It's not the cool kids they're desperately trying to market to.
I don't think they ever phoned the band and said, like, "hey boys, gonna need an EP this year at least". Don't get me wrong. But these days, it feels like if they give a damn about BoC at all it's as a little bauble in the bank to say "look, we bought into these guys way back. Don't ask about new material, look at their stuff we put out in the glory days". They're like a reciept of cool that transfers agreed-upon value back to them, they almost don't NEED them to make anything now, who are they going to market it to? Who's their target demographic as a label? Honestly, now, is it us?
Just put out reissues and ride the cachet of what they got out of them way back when. Keep them on the roster while their value goes to the moon, like a Bored Ape of Canada.
If Warp were simply milking BOC, BOC could easily leave and never return. Either move to another label or implode like Daft Punk. I think that BOC are simply taking a very long time to make their next move and Warp are forced to release a lot of shit in the meantime to cover it. If anything Warp respect BOC too much.
If BOC simply existed nowadays to be pimped by their label, they would fold. After all they've told us they have artistic integrity and I will believe it for the time being

It's still available on Spotify in Europe so it seems. Here in Belgium I can play it. Guess it's only removed in US? I'll try and find an answer. Will report later hopefully.
I just got word about the remix.
Thanks for letting us know. It’s a metadata issue apparently. Should be fixed in next two days!
It's back up for us yankees now

Really thought we’d get another BoC record before WW3 broke out. Alas.

So by knowingly expecting things, you're all only setting yourself up for disappointment 99.9% of the time.
Highly unlikely but you never know,
22 2 22 might be the 0.01% percent.

It mentioned there is a Hexagon sticker sheet that comes with this repressing of Geogaddi, at Rough Trade (In the tweets BOC just liked).... I never got one. is this a new thing? has anyone seen this? Basically what I'm saying is .... can some one who lives near rough trade Uk. Can you go by and get a copy, and also make sure they aren't hiding a new album somewhere in there. thanks so much

Also, the Remix is back here for me on YouTube Music in Canada, too.

1. That new avatar is hilarious! Very Monty Python!
2. Something is happening at 22:22 but maybe not BoC.

1. Agreed, nice avatar.
2. Yeah, there's no way it's them. Lol, we are so scarred from that Rick-roll countdown..... which btw is still a nice chopped/screwed.
