What the hell is all this shit?

Luv BOC, though. I work third shift, and it's usually what I listen to when I drive to work. New track is pretty good, too.

THIRD SHIFT BROS
Well, not yet for me, but starting Saturday we will be.

This is just the kind of needless cryptic bullshit that eclectic musicians love to use to hype up a new record.

I definitely love Boards of Canada and would really like them to make new music.

BoC is one of my very favorite artists. i'm dying to hear the next album...if you examine the records from/including Music Has The Right To Children (leaving out the odd David Koresh-referencing ...Beautiful Place.. EP) they make a series documenting the feelings and emotions of different stages of childhood and growing up. ...Children deals with the kindergarten years; Geogaddi hits the double-digit crossing where childhood begins to curdle and turn strange as puberty approaches, and Campfire Headphase looks to the 70s acoustic-guitar-by-the-campfire vibe and has an air of confused psychedelia about it that ties into the theme. i want to know what the next installment will be like, and how much farther along the journey we'll go.

^nice analysis.

But where would you say the *others* fit in...the fam/friends-only cassettes from the early years?
...plus BoC Maxima, Twoism, Hi Scores, In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country & Trans Canada Highway?

Regardless, there is no better late night/rainy day music.
BoC Maxima is prob my fav.
It's just...essential.

As is the tune Under the CokeSign off TCH....which helped me realize I've been a tremolo guy all along...even prior to knowing what it is...

[dubkitty]

I don't think they started to conceptualize the recordings as i'm suggesting until Music...before that they were developing their approach and concept, i think. ...Beautiful Place... doesn't go with the chronology at all. it's a one-off which was apparently in part a response to the Waco Branch Davidian thing..."come live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country" was part of the Davidian's recruitment spiel, Amo Roden was a figure in the church, etc.; this has been extensively documented on the web, including the factid that one of the art images is Koresh's eyes. for me, TCH is an extension of Campfire Headphase which arguably takes the teens from CH on a road trip.

[D.o.S.]

I definitely hear "childhood" in the BoC records. They all sound like Polaroids/Super 8mm/plastic record players/dubbed VCR tapes.

That said, I wonder if someone born in say, the 00's, would feel the same way.

[rustywire]

I hear BoC as the sound of pop culture nostalgia viewed through a retro lens of wonder and innocence.

Hits ya right in the feels, especially if you were a kid in the 1970s or 80s.


Interesting question about 21st century kids...

[GardenoftheDead]

They kind of remind me of watching Godzilla on questionably legal VHS tapes when I was 5.

[D.o.S.]

Its real.

be still my heart.
