SYiB is one of the John Shirley lyrics they've been playing for a while
(there's lots more on this in the BOC-FAQ).

You don't want to believe anything Bloom says about the "new album" -
he's been promising it "next summer" since late '92 at least.  In the
computer biz, it'd be called "vapourware".

That trick of promising new albums is nothing new for Eric--he's done
it throughout the band's career.  Promising an album that turns up a
year later.  I read about a supposed new BOC album in 'Guitar Shop'
magazine at least a year ago. BYT, Buck writes for this magazine, but
it's pretty technical stuff, just reviewing new pieces of guitar
gear.  Still, it's cool to see his name in print.  Does anyone out
there know of BOC's touring schedule?  What's coming up?
