hello there, i was wondering if the new boards of canada video from the new record "Trans Canadian Highway", will be shown on MTV. i think its a strong possibilty, since it sounds as little electronic as possible on that record. i hope it doesn't get shown on MTV as that could end what we call underground to some degree. |

we're the undergroundest |
||||||||

|
|
well non mainstream being invaded by the...normals :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Theres a program called 120 Minutes that will probably show it |

oh jesus.. FUCK the underground. FUCK it up the ASS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes sir Mr.Cat but seriously i mean underground as a word to descibe the non-mainstream music, as in warp artists |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think the showing of a boc video on mtv will be the end of non-mainstream electronic music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh who cares who listens to the music you like. just listen to what you like and don't give a fuck. |

if qrter ever said anything true, that is it. |

boards of canada are quite popular outside IDM (or whatever) though, so i wouldnt be suprised if they showed their stuff on MTV. |

underground non mainstream artists like maximo park you mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mtv here is getting into mor electronic for sure, i'd guess boc is too dark for that |
||||||||
|

"i hope it doesn't get shown on MTV as that could end what we call underground to some degree. " Don't worry, the underground has already been ended by the trendsters who got into IDM via Radiohead et al. I nearly cried a few months back when I went to a fashionable party and there was Autechre and Squarepusher playing. |
||||||||
|

I don't see what's so bad about autechre and that playing at a fashionable party. Most of the time people go to those parties and complain about the music, but when they're is something like that played people complain that they want it kept underground. The situation can't be helped. It won't be played on MTV that much, mainly for the fact i doesn't have lyrics, and the video doesn't feature the band or any catchy hooks. Like Dannn said it will be played on 120 minutes, without a doubt. But that isn't bad, that's awesome. |

aphex twin was on mtv a few times. |

yeah how dare people listen to and like 'OUR MUSIC'. its ours. they can fuck off. uhm, yah, whatever. what makes people here think that trendy people will want to listen to boards of canada, who cares if they do or dont? so what if the music that we enjoy becomes mainstream? what fucking difference does it make. its still the same music as before. having a go at people just listening to electronic music just because its suddenly 'in' is so idiotic. it gives the impression that you only listen to it because its not cool, which is every bit as pretentious, if not more so. |

come to daddy was on that show where they send uncensored videos a few nights back... (I was just flipping by, honest!!!1!) |

I know it doesnt matter what everyone else is listening to and be your own man and keep it real and all that guff, but I think most people dont like to listen to mainstream music whether its good or not, just because you get it shoved down your throat and it ruins it. And also a lot of artists dont take well to fame, I imagine Aphex would be a bit less of a wanker to his fanbase if he wasnt a mainstream icon. |
||||||||
|

|
|
areyou talking US or UK? come to daddy used to be shown a lot later at night |
||||||||
|

have fun with your suggestive wank |

mtv doesn't show videos. Maybe Mtv2 though. I could see them on subterranean |

i x ten: a philosopher |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always said they were shit :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think, therefore |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who cares though? Do you listen to music because it's not popular, or because you enjoy that music? If the latter, then what's the difference? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey i said that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, well I share the view |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if other people like that point of view, then i think its shit. how dare they think that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha |
||||||||
|
|

thank-you for your comment, yes what a shock, those damn radioheads. at my college we have computer rooms(as usual) in which i sit around some old high school classmates, and they all lisen to like alternitive stuff mainly rock stuff, and one of them really likes Ideotechque from radiohead, and maybe do you think he would like some BoC? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are ridiculous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone who likes: Kid-A, amnesiac, or hail to the thief, would love teh BOCS. just a crazy thought |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you serious?, what a waste of talent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
am i serious? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I guess this has been noticed before, but just now by me, and therefore worthy of me saying it, but I like how the LFO page on the MTV site mixes LFO and the Lite Funky Ones together, in some perverse web based mash up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As if they would play music on MTV. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Synth Bleeps and squiggles and guitars? Must be Boards of Canada. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would be cool IMO that they played music I like on the radio and/or TV. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude that shits been on the mtv site forever. they just have some fuckin interns diggin around for any info on any band to make MTV look as they know whats poppin' in the muzique biz. just ask carson daily or whatever that jokers name is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool |
||||||||
|

yo did i miss anything?... http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/boards_of_canada/artist.jht ml#/music/artist/boards_of_canada/ringtones.jhtml what's up with 'Beautiful Country'? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hahahahaha try 'sunshine recorder': |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Don't watch much anymore, but I have never seen anything on there without words. MTV2 plays electronic stuff, I think, but I don't watch it. |

"oh who cares who listens to the music you like. just listen to what you like and don't give a fuck. " You are right. But if you notice the adverts during the LOADING of the BOC bio, you will agree that taking something genuine and original to a place of no integral motive, creates a void sense of justice. Great music becoming anonymous is a very legitimate reason to "Give a Fuck". |
