Being a golf ball radome and with hexagons it does tie in nicely with Tomorrow's Harvest so an Ep could be in the offing perhaps?

if this really is a clue to something related to BoC then we're definitely supposed to listen to whatever that radio station is broadcasting.
Now.. how does one go about doing that?

meant to also mention they seem to be pushing Boondocks right now, so if we're to tune in on tv then it might not be until late Monday. But they've also done that before, so it seems like it would come in a different form this time.

edit: they say its 4000watts now, if that helps. finding the station doesn't sound easy. the radome pic might be generated (not real). it's begging for the cicada treatment.

Having a quick scout my first impression that this is an original image, of Titterstone Clee, In Shopshire.

Going further north it could be The Grea Dun Fell In cumbria, as these have hexagonal covers on the radome too.

Another hexagonal Radome is in Germany in Tuefelsberg, but I would think it isnt this one as the platform is different.

Going off on a huge tangent and gut instinct here, but if there were to link up... say.... live shows and hexagonal domes.....

The Eden Project has been known to host music events before.

nah i think we're seeing too much into this.

i doubt they're going to try the same media trick twice, hidden clues etc and from one of the past sources, Adult Swim etc

i'm staying out of this one.

I think the fact they've used AdultSwim before, and this Illuminati thing, is a giveaway. I'd love some new stuff as much as the next guy, but I don't see this being anything to do with boc, despite the image and the signals reference. It just seems out of character. And I'd imagine if something new was coming, they'd announce it in a more imaginative way. I hope so anyway..

Thats a fair point! I think I'm trying to sniff out a few ideas so ideally we could put them to bed with a nice hot cup of common sense. I'm basically house bound with illness this weekend so I have a lot of time to fill haha.

If it's an EP it might be related to TH and therefore be promoted the same way.

Admittedly the pic and tweet has a bit of a boc vibe, and the fact they have used AdultSwim in the TH promotion, could get people over-excited. But do ye not think that they might be a bit more subtle and creative if they were to announce an EP or anything new, and not repeat one part of the TH campaign? Plus the illuminati reference really seems to me like nothing to do with boc. I'd be a bit disappointed if this was true to be honest, if first news of new music, or whatever, came from AdultSwim. Finding a record out of nowhere was a nice way to kick things off, but the whole thing got a bit repetitive and stale near the end, but I have to admit, it was fun overall and I was sucked in for sure. But I really don't see boc just getting these guys to tweet something to hint towards new stuff, I think it would be something more subtle and new, I'd hope so anyway.

Yeah, I agree with you man, I don't think they would repeat one facet of the promotion to announce anything, even if it was an EP related to TH. Think we need to not put too much into this just yet to be honest. Doesn't seem true to boc, or the recent promotion.

I don't think they care too much about how their stuff is promoted. Warp is handling that, and as much as we'd like to think that the brothers are carefully thinking up and leaving clues that are tied to some grand mystery, in the end it's just Warp marketing people. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed the TH campaign, even if it was gimmicky. If lack of originality is the problem this time around [if this even is anything), we can thank unimaginative Warp marketing nerds for that.

Even if Warp were the main driving force behind the TH promotion (I agree that they most likely were too), it was still a hell of a lot more imaginative than if this turned out to be true, sure they would at least try to make thing a bit more exciting and original, especially given the hype surrounding TH's release.
