In case it wasn't clear, there's definitely zero hard feelings from me toward Fredd-E or anyone for any suspicion. And I know others differ on whether that suspicion is warranted at all, which is also fine. As others have pointed out, yeah it's kind of going in circles at this point, so I'll try not to add to that with more rehashing.

Nothing is corrected. It's that I played a couple inoffensively wrong notes that weren't corrected. One is the Bb in the Red Moss at the beginning should have been an F (which led me to over count the number of occurrences of 'the motif' at 3 instead of 2). Then in Peacock Tail, the C lingering over the change from C major to G major should have been a B. This mistake adds a little bit of dissonance but not too noticeable.

Has it sunk in yet that almost 8 years ago, either Mike or Marcus parodied your video note-for-note, and other than your "hey, this is weird" initial thoughts, it basically went unnoticed until now? That's crazy. I'd be smiling all the time!

Awesome thanks so much for the explanation egbdf! It is quite a neat new piece of BOC lore.

This thread shot up about 20 pages over a meme photo, a deepfake and a parody video.

Imagine how much it will go up when they actually release new audio :D

Well, let's not forget the proverbial "warp intern who was tossed the keys to social media". We ought to have given that character a name by now he/she's been invoked so many times. But regardless of whatever's really going on -- yeah, it was certainly a jolt when I saw that Whitney pic reemerge the other day, and has been fun to have that novel connection to the discussion.

It won’t go up anymore as it’s not speculation then. :)

Thanks for the sticky thread, Fredd-e
And thank you for the rundown, mthrndr

Perhaps soon we'll get just a small soundbyte of audio, the best soundbyte of audio anyone could ever ask for

This thread is hard to keep up with, I dig it. On another note, on Reddit there’s a guy who posted ‘Feeling Bad Can Feel Good’ with the account name 7Spirit_of_1Ecstacy under the Whitney Houston thread. His name reminded me that the same name was used in one of the Prohibited Broadcasting videos. His account was made that same day, April 6th. Five hours ago he posted “April/7/2001/24.55[Keep a Smiling Face]”
April/7/2001 was when the 2001 Mars Odyssey was launched. It’s named after Arthur C. Clark’s novel. As a member on Reddit pointed out, that somewhat connects the Toynbee clap back. Probably nothing, but strange and something to keep an eye on, and if anything that account is probably Prohibited Broadcasting.

And April 7th 2001 is when BoC performed at ATP Festival 2001.

24:55 is a timestamp from the set, keep the smiling face sample from sixtyten.

Curious as to where the teeth come from that are collaged on top of Whitney’s. Anyone have a weird memory of the smile? I just ran through twin peaks characters I could think of.

To me it looks like they just painted over her teeth

They're definitely collaged.

EDIT: nvm actually the way they were edited with a contour makes it look like it is collaged.

I mean who knows, only the brothers themselves know. Maybe they collaged little bits inside the teeth without changing the contour too much

I assumed the Whitney Houston image was created with a filter on some sort of app. I say this because the Hell Interface deepfake from the same time looked generated in a similar way. There’s one app that it looks like specifically, it gained popularity recently but I do not know the name of it. I don’t think any of the new images were very high effort.

This confirms the blue dot I saw on Sunday was legit
