That’s super cool. I was wearing my Blue Monday t-shirt the other day contemplating the code on it:

This one looks like a different scheme than the one in the video. :thinking:

There’s a whole color band on the right edge of the bottom half of the web page that could potentially serve as a mechanism to create a decoder ring (assuming it’s not just there as aesthetics).

In the new year we recorded a Peel Session and the music sounded much more like it’s supposed to, after it’s had a few months to develop. While in London, we filmed the video for ‘Free Range’, freezing our bollocks off in an army jeep suspended on the back of a flatbed truck being driven past the Houses of Parliament. The best bits on the video are the close-ups of the flashy red Musicman Stingray Trevor bought me last year, the most expensive bass I’ve ever had. Every time he sees it, Mark complains bitterly because he hates it so much. ‘Get rid!’ he’ll shout again and again and I’ll promptly turn it up.

Very interesting meditation on what constitutes an album, including the roots of the term…

Nice humorous demonstration of reharmonization and adding variation using a well known sample of music
