this is really wierd... i bought some cds from Virgin megastore, and they gave me a free sampler cd. Its all shit pop/rock/rap but the last song is 1969 by BoC its so wierd... howd they get on a sampler cd... a mainstream one at that?!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Geogaddi tracks popping up in lots of new compilations, I saw Julie and Candy on a new ambient compilation at the record store the other day.... everyone's catching Boc fever :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm surprised they let them do it. they always moan that they are over-exposed. :-( disappointed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe BoC is getting mainstream... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but i mean... its on with mainstream music... when people go to virgin and buy records like britnet spears and stuff, they will get this sampler cd, and will hear BoC its fucked up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that would be crazy... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Kid for Today is on another chill-out mix... there were even advertisements for it on TV *gasp* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's to be disappointed about? They want their music to be heard by new people, don't they? In my opinion it's a good thing, more money for boc, more music producing capabities (hence the new ep and lp due out in the next year) |

funk man... you gotta put your old avater back on man i liked it better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed man!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but i just think it would be wierd for people to all know BoC and listen to em and talk about em i dont want some moron getting into them cause they are the next "cool" thing, and not really appriciating them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, if Boards of Canada ever became pop, I don't think I'd complain... I'd rather here and see that on the radio and tv then the pop crap that's on there now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by pop I just mean popular ok... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but i do agree that its good they are getting more money. they didnt compromise thier music to make money... they are making a profit from thier vision. as a musician who makes IDM, which is NOT a money making genre... I understand it would suck to have to work at mcdonalds or something, because your records didnt sell enough to live off of, even if you where really popular in the IDM scene... so im glad they are getting paid |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
that is true... but still... i guess i enjoy the undergroundness of this music.. it feels special... like a hidden treasure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I know what you mean... it does feel special, it's like we're a part of a little club sort of as lame as that sounds... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
speaking of seeing boc on tv, whats the word on the Boc dvd? I know they used to make all types of trippy nature films with their music as soundtracks, but when are we gonna get to see some of it?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now that is something I'd buy a dvd player for... not the Autechre one... blah... ;) |

Zeus: Stop shopping at Virgin! Support underground record stores!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
let me know the location man! the only place i know of that caries a wide varity of electronic music is the virgin megastore at times square... they got alot... im new to NYC... so let me know where they are ok? |

(They hosted the Rephlex party) 15 East 4th St. 10003 (bought Geogaddi here 12") 211 E.14 ST. NY. NY. 10003, 212.533.BEAT 12-9PM 6 Saint Mark's Pl. Etherea Records (Bought Samurai Math Beats Here, & Amber) 66 Avenue A For Hip Hop: 406 6th Ave. (at 8th St.) Didn't mean to snap before cuz I know you don't know, its just that Virgin is a horrible place, and definately does not have a good selection of electronic music (try buying astrobotnia pt.2 there). Virgin is the StarBucks of music stores, don't support them while they try to drown out downtown music. |

i only buy CDs though... are these cd stores? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
xantos... these are cd stores? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, records and cds! I wouldn't have mentioned them otherwise. (I don't think there are any stores anywhere that sell records and not CDs anymore!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rock thanks :) |
||||||||
|
|

You could even call first and ask, trust me they will have a better braindance section than Virgin. I don't just boycott Virgin because they are a giant company or any of that communist bullshit, its because they offer a worse service yet continue to grow and grow and knock everyone else out because of the amount of capital available for them to put in. Like America Online. |

Actually Virgin are pretty good here in Liverpool, decent vinyl section. HMV are better though, plus they had all the Warp catalogue on special off last year for £5 a CD :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*teehee, Zeus said ''virgin'', heh... All we have here is Musicworld and Radioland. Total shit. We had Sam the Record Man, and it closed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I doubt they have a single braindance/warp record on vinyl (if they have any vinyl at all) at the virgin here, you are lucky. Plus you guys have Rough Trade Shops and other good record stores. |

"virgins" funny cause you can relate huh? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually, NO! :-D But now, for all intents and purposes, I'm sexless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aha! so now we know of the one time you left your house! or did she come to you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how virgin can sell an album for £16.99 is beyond me. |
