heard this BoC track in a local starbucks today. well, one of the three that's on that street and within 4 blocks of each other. was very odd. no one knew what i was talking about when i exclaimed 'wow this is boards of canada' and asked what cd it was on, if it were an official starbucks comp or some cd an employee had brought in. in fact i think the guy that checked what we were listening to told me it was 'borders of canada' |

the girl behind the counter informed me that 'sometimes they throw pop songs on their cds, its kinda weird'. i gave her the evil stare. and then ordered a grande white mocha. i'm such a hypocrite. |

starbucks is a mainstream outlet... we here at xltronic consider mainstream to be stupid... |

They play BoC in my local pub during lunch time, but that is only because I tell them to. |
||||||||
|

i've got friends that work there, they just weren't there today. i get free drinks when they work, and one guy has a few recipes he made up, using differnt kinds of ice cream and espresso that's pretty good. so yeah i'm a sellout but the coffee is usually free ; ) |

What are they doing working at my local pub? |

At the coffee shop chain I work at, we have offical comp cds that we have to play. No board of canada, but there was a jamiroquai track on there (corner of the earth). It gets really really really really annoying when you have to listen to the same 20 songs repeating over and over all day. |

Why can't they call them 'regular' and 'large'? I don't know how the fuck to pronounce 'grande' without sounding ignorant. grand? or grOnd? Fucking coffee culture. Yeah, I want a fucking mocha, regular. No caprochino almondochina frothominto freschente for me. |

talking of borders of canada, if a plane crashes on the border of the US and canada, where do they bury the survivors? |

I hear Radiohead all the time when I go to Zellers or Walmart to buy games. Never anything with the same obscurity ranking as BOC, though. |

i once heard a fridge song played at a bookstore in scotland. |

they once played "no surprises" at my local health club. it was hyper surreal. |
||||||||

Yeah I heard Pyramid Song at Showcase Cinema.. that was weird. |

Yes well they played Coil "Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil" after a movie at the local independent theatre. That was a surprise. |
||||||||

BoC at Starbucks? What's next, Merzbow at day cares? |
||||||||
|
|

They were playing the video for pyramid song on the monitors in the H&M on fifth ave. in Manhattan when I was there, my girlfriend dragged me in. It was....strange. H&M is a trendy large-scale "hip" clothes store for those who don't know. |

You don't bury survivors, silly rabbit. :D |

some people drink coffee funnily enough |
||||||||
|

But there are other places besides starbucks. Besides, I got a mocha once, it was absolute shit. |

a mate of mine heard saw 85-92 playing before a movie at a local cinema |

some people also don;t care about the quality, they just want a coffee,.. like my dad, who actually drinks macdonalds coffee all the time |
||||||||
|

|
|
only reason i go to starbucks is for the free coffee. at work i'll get a small cup of coffee for 73 cents, bitter and dark as hell but enough to give me my morning pre-cigarette pick-me-up. |

Star-schmucks. I love sunshine recorder. |

Starbucks deserves all their success. People like their coffee - so why do people seem to hate on them so much? Fuck, if people didn't like Starbucks, they wouldn't be around. You Starbucks haters are in the minority yo. |

I love coffee, but I never go to coffee specialist places like Starbucks because 1) You need an A-Level in Italian to order anything 2) There isnt a Starbucks for about 100 miles radius of my house, yeah thats right virgin country. As long as its hot and black I'll swallow it. |

man...... there are so many places to drink coffee than a fucking starbucks. starbucks is horrible crap coffee with no love put into it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's, like just your opinion, man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
psss... whatever, anyone who likes going to starbucks sucks ass. your taking business away from the little guy who makes better coffee and cares... not some faceless shitty corporation who pays their workers poorly and makes low quality shit. ..... its just for people who dont know better, for people that like coffee but are too small thinkers to actually go somewhere nice and cozy and privatly run. |

you've been watching south park too much |

1. How do you know that Starbucks treats their employees poorly? I've never read/heard anything to suggest that. 2. The little guy doesn't inherently make better coffee. On the contrary, most of the small coffee shops in the close proximity serve shit - watered down shit. 3. Why so elitist? People know what they like - they're just not on some crusade to save small coffee shops. I'm not sure that, in general, they're worth saving anyway. |
