Don't Twitter reformat the images and such through twitpic?

I mean all these bumps are brand new so yeah probably has nothing to do with BoC and is just the adult swim bump guys having some fun.

This is likely a clear explanation, but the imagery just seems to precise to be otherwise. Considering it seems to be an original image, I don't get why anyone at AS would go out of their way to take a picture of a radome for this tweet.

Considering the recent activity from mdg and the BoC facebook, it's likely something will happen this year. I honestly doubt it'll be a live show, but it'll be something. Considering how deeply conceptual TH was, it's likely they produced other tracks that didn't cut the mustard in terms of their mood/theme, hopefully which will be compiled on an EP? It's wishful thinking, but I wouldn't say this tweet as it currently stands leads us any closer to new BoC material.

Yeah as optimistic as I am about some sort of new release coming soon, I honestly don't believe Warp Records is going to rehash an advertising campaign for Boards of Canada via Adult Swim.

I mean I've been watching Adult Swim since way back when and they tend to utilize a lot of archival footage that seems like it would be perfect for a BoC video. Just as an example here are a couple of examples of bumps, from 2010, that utilize the same sort of imagery (and some Tycho just to mess with all of us!) http://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/all?keywords=antenna

Just heard a BoC song on a bump on Adult Swim. I ran to look at the TV in time to see what I think was one of the images talked about in this thread.

Edit: I believe it was this

Of course my great memory is failing me. I think it might of been Aquarius or maybe '84 Pontiac Dream. I seriously was not paying attention and heard it by chance in the background.

I'm paying attention now and another bump just came up with some electronic song I don't recognize as BoC unless it's new. The image was that of a light house. Tried to film it but it was so brief, like 3 seconds, that you can't even tell what it is and I fucked up the video.

I didn't catch the one that had that image with the BoC song, but all the other ones I've seen tonight just seemed to be new bumps.

These bumps have been running for a week or two, usually switching between around 3-5 of them everyday.
Nothing new.

The whole 'BoC' thing in that tweet isn't promoting anything. If they were to be talking about Boards of Canada then they probably would've promoted it way much more. The '#IlluminatiOnly' is just Adult Swim fucking with people, they have a reputation for messing with conspiracy theorists by mentioning the illuminati a lot. Their tweets are 90% jokes, they're messing with you.

I'm not saying I believe this is anything; I just heard the BoC song with this thread on my mind and decided to pay attention for more and share what came. I haven't watched Adult Swim all week.

This changes the game for me. Originally I thought AS mentioning Illuminati combined with a doppler tower picture would have been too random not to be something BoC related. But now knowing AS has been into a Illuminati kick, it takes out the randomness for mentioning the Illuminati. As for combining it with a doppler tower picture, at this point in time I'm going to say it's either A) random and only for aesthetic reasons or B) the folks at AS are simply BoC fans and were influenced by them

It's not being desperate when a website/twitter account does it on purpose to bullshit fans - seems that's what they did so far.

this song is Playing String by Aeroc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrRGb7PdAXM

sooooo it nothing else happened during Adult Swim? I would be interested to know what song was playing with the radome image, as that would obviously be what the original tweet was referring to? though if it wasn't a new song I don't see what the point would have been
