The second I saw it and realized Monte did it, my first thought was simple. Monte crafted a deviously planned out April Fool's joke before ultimately falling for the very joke he conceived. He never had a chance.

Fooled for about 30 seconds. Figured it out before I listened though. Anybody here still think the first Oceania single is 10 minutes of ocean sounds?

I fell for it, largely because it was evening for me and I didn't know if it was still morning there. *sigh*

it was a last second idea... Because I didn't get on my two other ideas..

-Fake Oceania artwork
-Oceania release date (This was when I got the tip about the release date.. but once I got a 2nd tip, I knew that it must of been planned to be released in the news soon, so i had to scratch that idea)

i think the ocean noises was the best one Monte. I wonder how many people listened all the way through to make sure there wasn't actually a snippet of Oceania somewhere hidden.

Time difference helped me a little, it was I think the 10th joke of the day for me. I was like "Naahh..."
Nevertheless I must admit that even though I was doubtful, I checked at the beginning of the track just to be 100% sure... :innocent:/>
Sh sh sh sh sh shame on me for being weak.

Of course. I was 99,99% sure it was fake. Naturally, I could not take that risk.
