(i wish we could keep the new discussion here in the News section, instead of the Archives)

Have there been any reports of where any have been found? I'm guessing only major metro cities, right? And would there really be multiple *unique* copies in a single store? I'll check out my local retailer this weekend, specifically to ask if they've heard of this.

Wanted to post some updates -

The band name - Violet Sedan Chair - is an anagram for - Olive Can Read This

There is binary code in this video description that translates to -
green mama opens the door
doors have keys
keys open doors
…doors open worlds
shes doin fine
if you can read this
tell her im fine
fluctuating temporal disturbances solidfy
the key evolves
time for the revolution
who will protect you
spin spin spin
a leaky leaky echo echo echo node nooodddeemay—-be–pofachanceae3edfjienztoooa7vbucnfuespeakiei9vjvmeetujcjcnwawiotherejufvi8z9owk3saticjdn2pm

Another video I found, also called Violet Sedan Chair was just posted an hour ago and looks to be related.

noticed at the end of the translated binary, the seeming gibbereish has some actual words hidden.

be–pofachanceae3edfjienztoooa7vbucnfuespeakiei9vjvmeetujcjcnwawiotherejufvi8z9owk3saticjdn2pm

herthrewords - where do you get the binary from - i saw a mixture of numbers - some weird combination with base three symbols [just learnt symbols from playing Assassins creed2!!!]
as for the music - has anyone played it backwards - not got the tech - yet - working on it though... just remembered audacity ahs reverse! feel stupid - done it, not heard anythign different, in fact more sounds like 'reverse' than before now... confused...
also - played at same time as forward - nothing again - not to my ears...
here's the audio files normal and reversed...

Has anyone actually found the LP? I've been searching the entire MD/DC/VA area for the last hour and no one has it... some have heard of it because another person(s) in my area is calling around looking as well.

I've checked the independent record stores in the Portland and Seattle areas, none to be found. Only one store had received a prior inquiry.

Thanks for the audio Crescent! There is another video but I don't have the tech for it. Here - it is also called Violet Sedan Chair but very different style.

Am also *squee* for a Fringe Arg 'tho a valid comment on the "AnonymousNewsNtwrkTV" channel debunks that vid & binary

poopycockify at Youtube wrote:
this is a red herring sadly, the video is much older then this and references Triskabiblios ARG. just search 'no cats need die' to find it. quite a shame too, was rather excited there for a couple hours, oh well. hopefully a couple people get to read this before my comment get's removed by this attention hound. but for any one racking there brains that haven't found it yet violet sedan chair could be an anagram of olive can read this...


So, here is the original video and comments poopycockify reffies above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LidK3LB2B0 Sad
ETA: Personally find that anagram also wonky as she's fab-FBI-fem Olivia, not Olive.

Wondering of anyone saw the new video just put up? Called A Sobered Hermit.

Video contains a book that looks to be by Cris Well called "Predicts from now to the year 2000". A hand then opens to a page with a large heading "New York". There's other writing, but I can't analyze it now. Video description contains the following: "A ORBITER MESHED, A Vindicator Heels!"

Any of that mean anything to anybody? The video description especially may lead to something based on the last clue......I have no idea what this is about or in reference to, but I thought I'd post a new lead in case no one had seen it yet....
