I guess you can find anything in anything if you want to find dots to join.


Lol. To be safe you might want to decrypt the words in your post to find the hidden references to Orange and Timothy Leary.

I really like the clip (clyp) - its well made and superboc sounding. It feels like it wears some X tape influences in the voices.

Its beginning to feel like there are too many obvious references though - boc are historically more opaque than this.

could be though. could be.

But if its a troll (likely) then well played, whoever did it.

God now this is a bit silly. The new Redditor who originally posted the clyp is "MrVainetechnologies".
'MrVaine', you guessed it, is anagram of 'Minerva'.

Weird. I thought vain etechnologies was a reference/snipe at all the like/tweet obsession the past few weeks.

I dont get it though (probably the limits of my ignorance). What is the significance of Minerva?

Bit of a HotchPotch innit. Wonder if anything will tie it together or whether it's just key BoCisms for a laugh.

I believe that on the CD (dunno about vinyl) it said somewhere I overflow man, which is an anagram for Owl of Minerva.

Interesting. Just checked the vinyl, and its not on there. Not even etched into the record. However, found an interesting post about the owl of minerva. I swear I learn something new all the time with this band.

Yeah the Minerva anagram is on the cd. Plus the fnord site newcleardawn.com has an owl symbol (possibly Minerva).

Correct me if i'm wrong though, none of this Minerva, New clear dawn shite went anywhere, it just hung around after TH leaving us wondering about more secrets, of which there may have been, hidden for 7 years haha.

I may be getting my timelines mixed up, but I believe the New Clear Dawn was discovered before TH even came out - I think it was more around the "black box suddenly appearing in their discography" time.

...also, how crazy is this fandom - we went nuts for, what? 5+ years because of a black box - it's no wonder social media "likes" get everyone all riled up, hahaha!

We should be thankful that BOC are only confusing people with a lot more likes lately.

They could seriously mess with the fanbase if they wanted to, much like they did with New Clear Dawn and that Redmoon nonsense.
Warning: This numerology post is not to be taken 2 seriously.

True about the crazy fandom, but if they werent so clever clever with all the albums, tracks and messages, we wouldnt be so amped to chase the slightest hint of a lead in the expectation of some new esoteric bit of nonsense!

I found it. Had a hunch on Catherine Fell and went to YT and found the newly posted video there.

What's more, if you decode the letter/number sequence using simple cryptography, it matches the Clyp id code: aydhl1k4ni23iand9dni
