Someone blew up the clockes to reveal cities, she also had this to say:
· 2nd row
Clock1: London 1:39 -8 hours = 4:39 LA
Clock2: Berlin 2:43 -9 hours = 4:43 LA
Clock3: Berlin again 2:40 -9 hours = 4:40 LA
(if my calculations are correct)
Clock1: London 1:39 -8 hours = 4:39 LA
Clock2: Berlin 2:43 -9 hours = 4:43 LA
Clock3: Berlin again 2:40 -9 hours = 4:40 LA
(if my calculations are correct)
Someone also had this to offer about the clocks:
· Don’t know if it’s worth mentioning, but I saw someone mention that maybe the picture of the clocks is some sort of allusion to the amount of time we’re spending on this mystery. Ha. (Source)
Speaking of time, we now have another referential year thanks to Agent-I’s recent tweet—2017, as well as reference to something called a Pig Bomb. (Biological warfare, perhaps?) We also have a list of the following areas:
· The Zones, of which we currently believe only four exist. (Various sources.)
· Mega Moon’s Throttle Bar, where Wave-Heads are exploding. (Source)
· Hyper-Thrusts, where you can find Slam Chasers. (Source)
· Battery City (Source)
· Fuck you House, where Massive Awesome, Cold Dead Hands, and Mad Gear put on some kind of show. (Source)
· Wolfblood Beach, where popping nitros will get you ghosted. (Source)
· The old whisky purification center, where some TMGMK swag from the show at Fuck You House was buried. (Source)
· We also have the Stacks, which was apparently emitting limeade-scented green smoke. (Source)
There’s also the notation that, though everybody’s speaking English, they’re speaking a different kind of English. Slang terminology. It makes sense that we’re kind of confused about that, because language is always shifting and evolving; now that we have the internet, that shift is ever-increasing. Think about all the stuff you say in your everyday speech.
“Tweet/DM/PM/Facebook me!”
“I’d hit that.”
“Shit’s fucking tight, bro.”
“I’d hit that.”
“Shit’s fucking tight, bro.”
And so on. The way we talk now is not the same way people spoke even a year ago. So it shouldn’t be a shock that these characters, who are apparently from some point in a dystopian future, have different words and phrases.
Someone posted:
· I’ve also been looking at his/her tweet about having “dust mouth” and it reminds me of the expression “spitting feathers” to indicate a dry mouth, idk, something to do with being in the desert too long? (Source)
Precisely what I was thinking! “Dust mouth” sounded a lot to me like the phrase “mouth full of cotton balls”, which means the same thing as “spitting feathers”.
DrDeathDefying: “Spikes in static getting too hot around here. Time to pack up the lady and hop zones to somewhere a little more milkshake.”
Initially, I thought it meant this: It’s getting too hot; time to go somewhere cooler.
However, factoring in that when something is heavily radioactive is considered “hot”, I have a feeling it means this: Radiation level is too high here. Time to pack up and get to a safer zone now.
Alternately, the static really is that, and it’s screwing up whatever he’s working on. Whatever it is, it likely functions on radio waves or electricity.
This just in: Ray has just posted the following tweet. I have no idea if it’s related, except that his post was from Twitter for iPad and the Doctor used web.
Also, 27,697 cents equals 27,697 dollars. Assuming Tommy was using American currency.
NewsAGoGo got a makeover, this being their new twitter photo and they got a new background as well. They also tweeted this literally a mintue ago: “…please stand by…”
Twitter Thoughts:
· Also as it's been stated about the "clocks" picture "ugent urgency" from NewsAGoGo, there are 9 clocks total, the site was posted 9 days before the VMA's but on the day the picture was posted 2 clocks were covered up, meaning 7 days remaining, which were on the day the picture was posted. If you add the times of the clocks that you can see together you once again get 18:30.
· At 18:30 (6:30 PCT) NewsAGoGo posted "...stand by..." Then changed their background to the HRBT screen background except it was in black and white. minutes afterward they changed it to what looks like a radar of some sort. lines could be latitude and longitude? also changed their picture to BLND background except it says "this is not a test" meaning there must be a real problem going on not that it isn't just broadcasting like it had been.
· As a timeline, chow mein states that the weather is nice in zone 3, then DDD says they want to go somewhere cooler, lastly NewsAGoGo changed their background and profile picture.
· Someone posted this:
o I heard some theory from someone on another website saying that the heartbeat heard in HRBT is from someone with a heart murmur. Either the person with the heart murmur either is a fictional character made up for the album or it's the heartbeat of the new drummer.
About NewsAGoGo’s Icon/Background:
· There hasn’t been a follow-up tweet to the News’s initial tweet of the evening, but you can bet I’ve got Echofon open and ready to catch anything I see. The Co-Conspirator has also gone and looked through the background images on the other Twitter accounts. Dr. Death’s background, we all know, is currently of a desert landscape. However, the Co-Conspirator found that the file name is as follows: Screen_shot_2010-08-26_at_11.28.17_PM
· August 26, 2010. 11:28:17PM.
· It might not mean entirely much, but we’re wondering now if it could be a screen shot from either a movie or a music video. Perhaps it’s our first look at a new music video? For some reason it reminds me of the video Gerard did for that song “Safe & Sound” by Kyosuke Himuro. (If you weren’t aware of that, it’s okay. It’s one of those “whoa, really?” kind of things.)
· As far as Tommy Chow Mein and Agent Cherri’s backgrounds go, results are inconclusive. However! It’s been bothering me that the font on his background looks familiar and yet, I’ve been unable to figure out which it is. I have a natural love of fonts, so this is really getting under my skin! If anyone knows which one it is, hook a girl up with knowledge.
“Insensatez” Lyrics + Possible Theory:
· Someone over at DA posted that Jobim’s “Insensatez” (the song playing on the BLND channel) had a set of lyrics written for it, along with a possible theory that the song might’ve been selected. I found an English translation of the lyrics to a version sung by Frank Sinatra. I’m currently finding great amusement in this, for two reasons:
o One: Sinatra was in a group called the Rat Pack.
o Two: Sinatra, as the Co-Conspirator has just reminded me, “is a Jersey connection.” Old Blue Eyes was from Hoboken.
o While, again, I don’t readily believe that anything on the website relates to a change in the lineup, I am willing to believe that this song might have ties to the narrative. How? I don’t know. But I’m sure we’ll see soon enough.
A Brief Note on the WKIL Channel:
· Buzkiller asked in the comments if WKIL could be read as “We Kill”. I’ve seen that idea being floated around in other places, and I’m willing to say that it’s very likely. Also, the colors on the thermal image are definitely changing at a faster rate. Still some debate on whether or not the sound is actually getting clearer.
The Numbers + Chatzy:
· Madgirl brings us this information on the weird numbers being posted by Agent Cherry in recent days:
o I just looked into it… chatzy.com/553209508338 was the first chatzy that they started. I’m guessing that she was saying so long because she left it. Chatzy.com/647466670127 is another chatzy that people are still hypothesizing in. I don’t think Agent Y is real…in the sense that the others (DDD, Agent I, etc.) are real at least. (Source)
On Possible Slang Terminology:
Someone brought this up in the comments:
Someone brought this up in the comments:
· I’m researching Exploding Sheep as referenced in a previous tweet by DeathDefying? I think? Here’s what I pulled up from a quick google:
· http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/Exploding_sheep http://www.shimmerytimbers.com/starticles17.htm
· (Author Nick Harkaway talks about exploding sheep in The Gone-Away World, as in, sheep that have stepped on landmines.)
· Also, I’ve looked into Dust-Mouth, I got: http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/29/messages/231.htmlhttp://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/29/messages/231.html a litteral, sort of, allegory for thirst or something more biblical? http://bible.cc/lamentations/3-29.htmhttp://bible.cc/lamentations/3-29.htm (Source)
· I can’t find the referential tweet about Exploding Sheep. At best, I have Agent Cherri’s tweet about the Pig Bomb of 2017, but that’s it.
THE SITE IS BACK! NEW UPDATE FROM FRANK!
· posted by Frank on Sep 7, 2010 01:29pm
o Hola friends, screw you enemies, it's been awhile. I trust you've been well! Hope you spent your holiday weekend wearing a smile...how would you like an update? Do you believe in the old saying that no news is good news? Well if you do, I suggest you close your eyes and read no further, cause I am about to post some news up in this bitch.
o Here's the score:
§ First off, I would like to say thank you to everyone on Twitter and the message boards for all your well wishes and congratulations, it's very cool to have so many people excited for us. Yes, my wife and I are now the proud owners of two brand new baby girls!!! And we couldn't be more thrilled. I must say they are a bit small yet to do all of the heavy lifting and chores I need done, but I'm pretty sure in time they will end up paying for themselves, plus they are so goddamned cute it's sickening.
§ · #2 our new record is done, finished, kaput, in the proverbial can, and being played loudly as we drive way too fast in our respective cars.
§ · Would you like to hear it? Ah, I bet you would, but all in due time my friends...good things come to a patient MCRmy. We have a plan, and we are sticking to it. But look alive, keep your ears to the ground and your eyes bloodshot and open...there are signs everywhere and it will all make sense to you soon. Keep checking back for the shit to hit the fan.
§ · Exciting news item number tre'. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock comes out Sept 28! Excited? Us too! Actually, we're so psyched we designed an exclusive guitar strap for the game, and you can get yours by pre-ordering your copy at Amazon.com! Happy shredding...in style!
§ · Item of news that is fourth: THE 6th AND FINAL ART PRINT IS HERE! (applause) thank you everyone for your patience, yes the wait is over. "satan save the west coast, cause god wants us dead", like the 5 before it, is limited to 200 pieces, but this little bastard has been signed and stamped by all 4 members! And is available now. Please ENJOI! Ah its been fun friends, but I must say goodbye for now. Thank you for the love, the trending topics, the beautiful drawings and artwork, and for giving everyone around you a headache by playing our records so loud.
§ We have much in store for you darlings, it's gonna be a fucking trip.
o Thanks for always coming along for the ride. xofrank
Twitter:
· Someone else noticed that first bit on Twitter, too… Dr. Death Defying, Tommy Chow Mein, Agent Cherri, News A Go Go: If you’re reading this, then you know we’re listening. Give us something clearer to work with.
· I like the idea of looking at all the tweets as a whole and developing or modifying various hypotheses based on these reviews, but I want to hedge against the high risk of creating something out of nothing. It could lead us down the wrong direction. Let’s proceed with caution.
Other:
· It’s a new fucking layout! But note this from the newest blog posted by Frank (emphasis mine):
o #2 our new record is done, finished, kaput, in the proverbial can, and being played loudly as we drive way too fast in our respective cars.
o Would you like to hear it? Ah, I bet you would, but all in due time my friends…good things come to a patient MCRmy. We have a plan, and we are sticking to it. But look alive, keep your ears to the ground and your eyes bloodshot and open…there are signs everywhere and it will all make sense to you soon. Keep checking back for the shit to hit the fan.
· That sound you hear in the distance? Those words you can’t quite make out? That’s just me exclaiming SON OF A BITCH! at high volumes.
· You can still access the scanner by clicking “Transmissions” on the website. Nothing has been added or taken away from it, except I’ve been listening to the WKIL channel and I think djlackadaisy may be right: There are multiple songs layered on top of each other/playing simultaneously, and I’m pretty damn sure one of them is “The End”The Black Parade. I’d been hearing a snippet of audio that sounded very familiar to me, perhaps more so than the drumming that initially sounded similar to “Cemetery Drive”. Now that I keep listening, I’m definitely sure one of them is from the portion near the end of…er…”The End”. from
· Friends… Right now, we can be sure of two things:
o MCR is up to something.
o This mystery is far from over.
