Intro.de reports following tracklisting for "Black hole/Blank canvas":

CD 1:
1) No Evil
2) In Our Tree
3) Coalmine Pony
4) Kill Devil Hills
5) Critical Mass
6) The 29th Bulletin

2) Sancho Says
3) Sail On
4) The Ace
5) L.T.E.C.
6) You Lose
7) Before The Flood
8) Fury On Earth
9) With Trixeene Through The Mirror, I Dream With Open Eyes

No source is being given, though, and there is nothing yet on either the Stickman or the Indigo site.

As many people & myself have pointed out already elsewhere there are various references to be found in the songtitles:
  • "In our tree" reminds me on Pearl Jam's "In my tree",
  • "Critical mass" reminds on Crosby & Nash's "To the last whale: Critical mass/wind on the water",
  • "Sancho says" could allude to Lou Reed's many variations of that title ("Lisa says", "Candy says", "Carolyne says"), as well as of course their very own "Sterling says", which is a VU-hommage too,
  • "The Ace" as in Ace Frehley (from Kiss-fame)
  • "L.T.E.C." is how fans commonly abbreviate Motorpsycho's 2000 effort "Let them eat cake"
  • "Before the flood" is the title of the live album which documented Bob Dylan's comeback-tour with The Band in 1974,
  • "With Trixeene through the mirror, I dream with open eyes" could very well be a studio version of the tune "Trixeene" (a generic B. Saether pop-composition), which was played during a handful of Motorpsycho shows in summer 2004.
...and there is probably more. However, given the whealth of a little too obvious references it might be wise to remain at least a little skeptical about the tracklisting -- though it is not April fool's day someone might just as well fuck with our minds, if not the Baron himself. ;-P

As reported earlier "BH/BC" will be out from March 17, 2006 on, on double LP/CD.
