normally when im in the car with friends doing whatever i love listening to all sorts of shit, except boc. anyone else find that boc is only good when alone? weird |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes. but that goes for everything... sometimes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I ve played boc in some sets and it works great as chilling party |
||||||||

pomme is my only friend that likes electronic music. i have several albums and would consider myself a fan, but not an enthusiast by any means. so, yeah, most of the time i'm listening to any electronic music i am by myself. boc is in my car stereo right now. |

it's wierd how you notice things when someone else points them out. i realized just now that it WAS a little wierd listening to boc w/ my brother in the car a few days ago. epohs - i love this style of music, as i've only been into it for the past 3 years...but i too mostly listen to it when i'm alone. |

I don't know... my friends don't seem to like my music, so I just play the radio, or some more "friendly" music when they're around... |
||||||||
|
|

|
I'm usually disappointed by people's reactions to music I like so I generally keep it to myself. I can see how BoC would be an especially solitary pleasure. Makes you pensive like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... some people might say you should play what you like, but I'd rather play something everyone will like and then it'll be more enjoyable... so I know a lot of my music ain't going to go over too well with them, so I just play something else... |
||||||||
|

|
If I put music on with the intention of listening to it, it is always alone, no matter what style. If it is just background music then I can stick anything on. :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
me and my roommate/best friend both love pretty much the same type of music. so yeah, we listen to BoC alot together. |
||||||||

When we have the normals over - family and stuff - I put on old fashioned jazz like Django Reinhardt. That's almost too weird for them, but they've heard it in TV commercials so it must be okay. :-) The Amelie soundtrack is also good for this, and Tommy Guerrero's first album. One time I made the mistake of playing Amon Tobin for my brother in law and his girlfriend - they said it sounded like monkeys. Oh cay. |

I sent a Steve Reich track to a friend of mine today, and she said it made her want to gouge her eyeballs out... heh... but she seems to enjoy SAWII... or the two tracks of it I sent her, Stone in Focus, and Lichen... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Send her my new track, I bet she will like that too. |

a huge amount of my music i play it when i am alone if i am in the car with other people it has to be the radio as bad as it might seem but 89x is very friendly in the car when you have people with you or WDET at night when they play electronic music |
||||||||

M'eh Believe it or not my mum <3s BoC and Amon Tobin, also found Squarepusher in her car the other day... damn. She's also a fan of gybe and mogwai so we listen to all of the above quite a bit when we're driving around. |
||||||||

dude was driving the tour van all night and listening to Tool to help pump him through the drive and his bandmates wined for BoC.. so there |
||||||||

you have to be with the right human to enjoy boc with company I think it's the right music when you're driving with your squeeze, assuming they are suitably attuned or with just someone you love |
||||||||
|

when my friends hear the term idm, they don't know what the fuck it is and when they hear the word techno they think of Scooter. That kinda tells you everything there is to tell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gosh, I know EXACTLY what you mean.. but hey, it's their loss, right :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's because boc have so many profound messages and they create meanings that are absolutely personal, so its best for listening on your own, without the distraction of anyone else |
||||||||

pah... friends think boc is stupid lounge hippy crap.. one time i was listening to boc.. and someone said 'are you listening to boards of canada again? youve got that useless happy look on your face again...' pfff.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
out of all the electronic music i listen to i'm really proud of boc, as in i don't feel at all embarassed about it. i've only ever had good reactions to boc too. several of my friends have bought mhtrtc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha that says it all :) |
||||||||
|

boc is great for solitaire driving.. preferably well above the speed limit, during nighttime. get's me all nice and sloppy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would have told them to fuck a tree, now who's the hippy! (hahahaha!!!) I like to listen to boc on my own, I think to it and work stuff out in my head. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YOU WORK SHIT OUT IN YER HEAD? LIKE WHAT LIKE WHAT ?!?!?!?!?!?!? i work out farts to BoC |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like personal thoughts and ideas i think that boc is great for comtemplating stuff, cos it's deep, thoughtful and subtle. Does that answer your question? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think the music itself is thoughtful, instead the effect it has on you is what makes you thoughtful.....which is a nice feeling, the sound seems to dig itself into your mind deeper and deeper....without getting too repetitive. the bonus of having all this conspiracy theory around boc's motives and messages in their sound add that little mysterious texture to it, which keeps their material more interesting for a longer period, just like a mysterious girl is harder to let go of, then one you know inside/out |
