Wow.
I want to take this time to recognize how integral Boards of Canada's music has been to my development as a perceptive person, and this is why.
BoC was the first electronic music I made a conscious effort to listen to (Specifically Everything You Do is a Balloon and Music is Math ... listened to those on repeat for awhile) and they've been huge in me expanding the boundaries of to what I listen.
Also, their music has been important to me not just because of how fucking pleasing to the ear it is, but because of how mysterious and beautiful it can be.
As a fiction writer, I love to write about the mysterious motivations behind peoples' actions. Also, I get so tied up in puzzles. This Record Store Day thing is an idea that I wish I would have had ... 6 records (only 6 on the entire planet!) released in locations around the earth that people have to find ... just to hear a string of 6 numbers so that they can put them together with a bunch of other numbers to find out ... something.
It's the ultimate puzzle and I can't wait to watch this unfold. I'm practically peeing myself.
The fact that they are releasing information so cryptically like this ... it's everything I could ever want from them. I honestly can't imagine a better feeling right now in relation to Boards of Canada.
I feel like I've done a shitty job describing what I'm trying to say. But Jesus, well done BoC. This is as far from a let down as I can imagine at this point.

Not to unnecessarily add to the rapid-fire speculation and hype, but:
What if Reddit user "lilcakey" is somehow associated with Warp, and Warp will control the release of these records on a schedule that is already predetermined?

meddling with these thoughts is a waste of time, you'd never find out anyway
deal with the facts and save your energy

Good point. I'm back on track ... phew. I almost broke a sweat there.
Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's punctuated in a certain way or not; if it's a June release, we'll be seeing them emerge between now and then.

i think the most important thing to focus on is that we will get a new album at some stage... all this hype now and the mystery and what not, it's fun and games, and i enjoy it
but it doesn't change how the album gets released.

Idk where that 'it was sitting in a shipment they received' came from. He never told me that, and it wasn't in the recording of Mobieus calling them.

fwiw, homeboy hasn't said anything since that post yesterday, at least not on reddit. regardless, pitchfork's warp validation seems to be the strongest affirmation so far.

It's too bad considering BoC as so intune with the vinyl culture but yet it's so hard to come by BoC on vinyl these days, unless u have over $100 to spare for second hand on ebay. But anyway Happy Record Day and maybe some lucky bastard can now finally find a BoC record at a record store
...Albeit there are only 5 remaining supposedly.
