[deadfly]

are they releasing something or not?

Hi John, yes they definitely are.

Thanks for keeping us posted. Any chance of a very rough timescale eg weeks/months/years?

[Archrival]

good question!

[hohes_c]

new boc to enjoy the summer holidays. how I wish it'd become reality.
its funny how, after such a long time without news, even the "mood" change on their myspace stirrs up so much excitement...
I suppose even the slightest bit of info is reason enough to go nuts...

apologies for being very direct...

From Wikipedia:

"Patience (ˈpā-shənz) is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances. This can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast in the face of delayed releases from media-shy Scottish electronica stalwarts Boards of Canada. Antonyms include hasty and impetuous."

Maybe....

Nice one Mexicola. I actually looked-up that definiton just in case someone edited-in that bit about BoC for a laugh.

Lol. 1-0 to me. For all of about 3 seconds I did actually consider editing it, but then I realised I couldn't be arsed!

Their MySpace "Status and Mood" has been updated again (41 mins ago MySpace tells me). They are playing with us man! lol.

Seriously though - I had to do a double-take when the little BOC icon appeared showing it had been updated. The teases...

[...]

It is banned in Norway and Finland.

Nocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow by Tobias Hill

In this latest collection of poems, Hill invokes people and place, mythologizing and demythologizing city lives as they are led. From poignant vignettes and celebrations to urban-pastoral and elegy, these poems extend Hill’s romance with London’s psychic and surreal fabric. Selected as a Next Generation poet, Hill continues to delight us with sensuous observation and imaginative embrace.

Yellow Sunset is a place in Cali tho (I know Sunset Yellow).

There is also a place called sunset yellow in new zealand.

[Fredd-E]

Why the talk about this Yellow Sunset? Am I missing a reference?

[Archrival]

Fredd-E: Its nothing really, just that their location is set to Sunset Yellow on myspace.

Sunset Yellow, California, to be specific. Looks like they won't be attending the Glasgow MBV shows.

[Johnny Moscow]

There doesn't actually appear to be a place in California called Sunset Yellow though. I think its definitely a reference to the food colouring thing as mentioned above! Crazy Scots.

if i was the warp employee at the helm of the myspace page, I would frequently make little changes, like changing Boards Of Canada to Boards of Canada just to see how many threads pop up on all the message boards.
