The View EP

The View EP is a self-titled EP by The View, released in March 2006. It is the first official release by the band. The EP was pressed by Dundee label Two Thumbs, and was limited to just 2000 copies. It was made available to the public through the band's on-line forums, and sold out within a matter of weeks. Due to the CD having no official distribution, the exact release date of the EP is unknown. In an interview with The Courier on 20 January 2006, Grant Dickson (of Two Thumbs) stated that "The View EP will be out sometime near the end of next month".[1] Copies of the EP were first made available through Two Thumbs' forum on 15 March 2006.[2]

gollark: Muahahaha.
gollark: It would be reasonable for it to work that way, but it doesn't.
gollark: No, I don't think I will.
gollark: ?tag create av1 To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand AV1 encodes. The settings are extremely intricate, and without a solid grasp of theoretical video codec knowledge, most of the jokes will go over a typical user's head. There's also MPEG-LA's capitalistic outlook, which is deftly woven into its characterisation - its personal philosophy draws heavily from the Sewing Machine Combination, for instance. The encoders understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the color depth of their encodes, to realize that they're not just high quality- they show something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike AV1 truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the genius in AV1's quintessential CDEF filter, which itself is a cryptic reference to Xiph.org's Daala. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as AOM's genius unfolds itself in their hardware decoder. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have an AV1 logo tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that their encode is within 5 dB PSNR of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
gollark: ++remind 10h golly
