I assume we'll also be getting a preview for this ablum as well!

Also, overhearing that this did happen previously with the black square on the discography page of the website, how long was it from when it first appeared until another TCH update was given??


i think an earlier page said about 2 months?


I think it was more like 3 weeks.
I'm hoping for news on warp by end of month.

You know, I can't imagine how happy I'll be to see that announcement email. I know this is self-sabotage, but I can't help but wonder childish things like "what if it's tomorrow?" That would be so great.

At what point do artists usually confirm their tracks onto the BMI repertoire?

Ooooooooh boy, this is what we've all been waiting for!

I feel like a little kid again, I read this topic for the first time yesterday evening right before I went to sleep,. and I had a dream about BoC. Not about a new BoC album, but about alot of old material that was in a normal cd shop.

Man, I can't wait!
When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare in the sun

The feeling of relief I felt upon hearing this news and seeing that little black box with my own eyes is indescribable. At last!

This is ridiculous. Yesterday I went to work, went straight to a bar, (tried) to drink myself into a stupor, went home, realised I completely FAILED to look at the forum for nearly an entire day..

..and THIS happens?

FFS. That's it, Twoism forum, I am *never* taking my eye off you again.

I'll see you when the sun sets east, don't forget me.

i sure hope it is the sign of a new album...mdg promised us some months ago that something was lurking, perhaps his silence was due to the fact that boc wanted to keep the information to a low, which is not a surprise. i'm sure they understand just how much their music moves people, inspires people...they are genius at what they create. the weather is beautiful here in the aeron valley today...i have hope!

Good going Mexicola! You're the man.

This is pretty cool. I'm enthused to see if something comes of it :D


Hey! Thanks Dude! This is ridiculous, but I actually feel a little glow of pride at spotting it. :oops: :lol: :D

Cheers too to Celadon. Good times!!

Oh yeah, I saw it alright, late, but I saw it. Typical of the type of thing I'd miss while on the piss ;)

You're crazy. sorry....


He's not half as crazy as I am. For the first time since... I saw the screen having a white background flashing before loading the backgroundpic. And the vertical outline of the boardsofcanada logo was at the top, not center.

But the worst of all to me now is the fact that I go to the discography-page and can't see it. It's not there????

Guess my karma is the opposite of that of Mexicola

Youre right! Typical BOC. You always have to experience things a few times before you get whats going on. I wonder what else i'll have found in this black box by 2014??????
