Well over at WATMM, JOYREX updated their thread title to...
/ 6 9 9 7 4 2 / 6 2 8 3 1 5 / 7 1 7 2 2 8 / 9 3 6 5 5 7 / - - - - - - / 5 1 9 2 2 5 /
So does that mean to hint that the NPR code is actually first? That seems a bit too easy to me but heh. Also I notice that there he did encase it it with /'s at the beginning and end but perhaps that's just for visuals.
Any thoughts?

maybe he's trying to show that the numbers describe a shape, perhaps a hexagon, i.e. when all points are plotted out the final point connects to the first. but idk how much he knows anyway, he's a friend of the band right?

He's just very fond of jumping the gun so I wouldn't put any stock in it. He wants to be "first" so bad that I want him to be wrong:)

I dunno, but I just wanted to post my intrigue with all of this. I'm glad you guys are able to keep up with this and find/sort out the clues. I've been spending all night at the library studying for finals/doing projects and pretty much becoming nocturnal, so I haven't been able to do much but just try and hold on to this bullet train rate of inflow of information..
Every time a new clue is found and I hear that now-familiar little jingle..
It's like we're a bunch of Cold War era citizens of some small country awaiting official news from the government.. And as soon as that jingle comes on, we all stop what we're doing and listen in.. Anxiously.
Also, overlaying those two static-y files (talking of AAAA and BBBB) just blows my mind.

That is pretty much the Close Encounters connection for me... 'cept with more pleasant expectations -

Oh, surely this is pleasant too! Just that same level of.. urgency! Importance!

The fact that the slashes might join in a circular figure reminds me of the spectrum images of AAAA and BBBB: there seemed to be six slashes, and you can connect the begin and the end to obtain a circular pattern.
Then again, maybe the things are not related...

It looks like a giant placard featuring the Warp logo, look at the door on the right for scale, that's pretty huge... and Rough Trade also tweeted: 20:35 | #BoC | ?

8:35 EST might be the time the next hint is revealed. Someone who lives near Rough Trade needs to get their ass down there.

That would be 1:35am UK time - I don't think they'll release anything on a public street at that time but I am quite optimistic this will be the big reveal - I'm gonna guess at midnight UK time (3 hours from now)

That's kinda rude to say, but okay.

8:35 was about the time they tweeted that, so it's not a time in the future, it was a time as it was when the tweet was done: 335 EST 835 UK

20:35 was when that tweet was actually posted, UK time. Not sure why they prefixed it with a timecheck, but there you go.
