- a new user on reddit posts it and already has his complete
theory made up seems a little bid convienent doesnt it??
also the you tube account the video of the record playing on
is new also

- IF the record actually even has grooves (i think it does
cuz u can see run out grooves pretty clear at the videos
begining) and its made of 30 seconds of sound surrounded by
minutes of silence on both ends should u be able 2 see some
visual difference in the appearance of the grooves. like u
know how u can tell the loud parts from the soft by looking
at a record. or if there were NO grooves except were the
music is ud DEFINATELY be able 2 see that. u cant see any
difference from where the stylus is and the other parts on
the video

- this was released on RECORD STORE DAY remember??? if there
were really 6 of them for any joe shmo to buy im pretty sure
at least ONE of them would be on EBAY by now lol

omg 936557 is a 6 digit prime number.. rearranged as 953567
still yields a prime number. As such,

9+5 = 14
\
3+5 = 08 ---=> WHERE WILL YOU BE ON 14/08/13 ?
/
6+7 = 13

hahaha the conspiranoia facts are already out of control,
on the first page linked in this thread... :

EDIT #1: Youtube video of the vinyl playing is up. Watch it
here. 936,557 is the number on this copy. The music is
beautiful. Thank you, Lilcakey for posting in our comments.
Please keep us posted!

EDIT #2: Boards Of Canada do have a page on
Recordstoreday.com.

EDIT #3: This one is to be taken with a grain of salt. A
YouTube video on Boards Of Canada’s official playlist show
“Julie and Candy,” from Geogaddi, with a strange video
description. Click here to see the full playlist. The video
is number eight. While this playlist compiles fan made
videos, for the most part, the video description is
interestingly
”——/——/——/——/——/—–­-”.

EDIT #4: The video description to edit #3 seems to have
changed again. It now reads “1977 snow computing amateur
footage beards synthesizer”. But, YouTube user
wentingtonful left it as a comment on the video. Presumably
just to note that it was there at one point in time. Please
keep in mind that the “Julie and Candy” video was
uploaded by user Ataalantafugiens, who only has this video
on their channel. The version of this song seems to be a
soundboard recording from one of Boards of Canada’s only
live performances. We’re still unsure, since its upload,
how this user got a hold of it.

For notes: The year in the description has also altered
several times in the last few minutes. 1976, 1977, 1978.
Seem to be staying on ’77 now. However, the dashes are
back. Go to 4:20 on the video and pause. No, wait. The
placement has changed. Go to 4:19 and pause. (A rumored,
possible countdown?)

It is also noteworthy that the description of the video used
to read “1977 snow computing amateur footage beards
synthesizer salopette endtimes uaevuon yera”

EDIT #5: Album out in June according to Tweet from Iain
Stewart, who is a friend of a friend of the band. Tweet
dated 4/11/13.

EDIT #6: Warp Records has just followed Other Music on
Twitter.

EDIT #7: The record is number stations influenced (The Conet
Project is a good place to start for beginners at this). So,
there are a few number theories floating around. They’re
only theories, but the number 6 keeps popping up quite a
bit, and with the Tweet from Iain Stewart mentioning a
possible June release, I will keep all number theories
inside this edit.

Theory 1: The Julie and Candy video. Presumably, the
position of the dashes and slash marks started at 4:20 on
4/20. Today, they were moved down to 4:19. Tomorrow, if they
move to 4:18, this could possibly be a countdown of some
sorts to something. This positioning has not moved. Theory
debunked.

Theory 2: The full video description on the “Julie and
Candy” video and the six set of numbers correlate:

——/——/——/——/936557 /——
1977/snow/computing/amateur footage/beards/synthesizer

Theory 3: Each of the vinyl records will contain a different
set of numbers. So far, we have the fourth set since this
looks like the fourth copy of the vinyl made, judging by the
X’s. So far only one vinyl has been found. A second set of
numbers came from a YouTube video. See Edit #12

EDIT #8: krs from the Twoism.org message board spoke to
Other Music who confirmed that there is only one Boards of
Canada Record Store Day vinyl released in the United States.
A Warp Rep brought in the vinyl to the store. This has been
obtained. The rest of them? Apparently they’re in other
countries. Get searching. Update in the comments section if
you obtain one. You can listen to the phone conversation
here.

“Just got off the phone with the guy from Other Music
again, and he said they DID INFACT have it at the
store!!!!!! He said a warp representative brought it in at
3pm the day before record store day. He also said that the
one found in their store is THE ONLY ONE IN THE U.S.!!!!!
THE OTHERS ARE IN FACT IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES!!!! He
didn’t specify, but they way he said it, I imagine this is
what the representative from warp told him.”

I used to get really annoyed when decent rare music was on
limited runs of a couple of hundred and I would take years
to get a copy if I was lucky.
Therefore a few seconds on a super rare record is good as it
will keep the ebay collectors happy and real music fans
won't mind.

Meanwhile on planet Earth, I quietly await a new BOC album
and will not get excited until... it actually exists.

Incidentally, if these aren't dubplates then I wonder how
much it costs to get only six 12"s pressed?

just out of interest, if one came up on eBay what are your
guesses as to the price it might go for?
it's difficult to judge, it's super rare but at the same
time it's just 20 seconds long. I remember an original
twoism fetching approx £700, although after the rerelease I
managed to pick one up for £100.....but that's a full album
rather than a short clip, however it was only limited to 100
copies rather than perhaps just 6 copies.
