-Allusions in the artwork. Particularly referring to the [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Incredible+String+Band,+The Incredible String Band], for whom [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] have a great deal of respect, and whom they apparently see from time to time. The lyrics section reveals that they have sampled the ISB occasionally; there's the old track "ithcus sound", a possible reference to the ISB track "ithkos". There's a general similarity in mood between Geogaddi and such ISB songs as "Waltz of the new moon" (HBD). It has also been observed that the title "Geogaddi" might in part refer to the ISB song "koeeaddi there" (HBD again).

 One interviewer comments that the front covers of the ISB's "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter" and [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]'s "Music Has The Right To Children" would make "a nice pair":

 Now that the events have been summarized, it's time to get to the details.  As described above, each social media network account seems to have its own unique pattern, but the same crucial end points.  Twitter is the most plentiful (and therefore easiest to pick out a method to the madness) so it's best start to start there with a list of the dates and posts so far:
