"Boccy Plox" sounds like an industrial grade sealant that may or may not cause Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

In here is a tragedy, art thou player or audience?
Be as it may, the end doth remain:
all go on only toward death.
...
There is nothing which cannot become a puppet of fate
or an onlooker, peering into the cage.

A look back at our 32nd year of releases. Up next, more of the unexpected.

do they mean unexpected as in actually unexpected? if so, doesnt telling us to expect the unexpected make the unexpected stuff actually expected? would a new boc album be unexpected? or would it be expected
unexpected expected unexpected expected unexpected expected unexpected expected unexpected expected unexpected expected

It means that after the next release, they will poll the fans on whether it was expected or not and expunge the album from reality if the results come back expected.

I simply interpreted that as a continuation of releasing 'cutting-edge' music. Pretty sure they end most years with a similar statement.

Still, a BoC tour would be very unexpected :D

For their next release, I really want a ridiculously complicated ARG again, that was fun.

This 100%.

I can see them not doing that however because everyone would expect it.... but it really would be merited.

Especially if they are going to reveal the boxset . Right after the release of the new album. They have to.

Already debunked as fake by sdowww, but still at least something's going on over there. :wink:
No reason for speculation then?

Hey mdg can you confirm if this is fake??? I'm too stupid to tell the difference between obvious fakes and real things /s

Fingers crossed for next year, I was certain in my mind that something would surface this year assuming that lockdowns in 2020 might have given BOC a bit of time to go through their archives.

I'd quite like some retouched Geogaddi outtakes to surface around its anniversary and maybe a trickle of archive material throughout the year, if a new album comes first then a BOC set would surely come a while afterwards but would likely look a lot more substantial than a few outtakes

2022 = the return of MBV, and BOC

....... i hope.

i do think at lease one of the two will drop something - probably both in my opinion actually

who knows, i certainly hope i'm right, of course.

I'm still surprised BOC didn't drop something in 2020, but I guess it's like Black Mirror where they haven't put anything out because life is essentially completely imitating their art.

I hope whatever they've been making or how they've been spending their time outside of their music has been bringing them joy.
