Summer Of Boc

well its shaping up to be a beautiful summer... hot, sunny
days set to the soundtrack of boards of canada
...their stuff reminds me of summer day care visits to the
zoo... playing in the sandbox w/ friends... all those happy,
innocent childhood things

...and also, tri repetae disc one (certain tracks always
remind me of hummid, hot summer nights when its hard to
sleep)
radiohead - ok computer, the bends
(these two both remind me of summer aswell)

.....so whats ur summer music?
(and, just to provokemore posts: do u have different music
for different seasons?
or at least music that reminds u of different seasons?)

i can't reaqlly listen to the new boc - it feels horribly
claustfrophobic and all wrong to me -
me like ricjard d james album - four tet - pause and stuff
like chealsea girl by nico and tim buckey

Definitely AMinal! This is the first year I actually got
into BoC, so it'll be great listening to Geogaddi on the
beach and stuff for the first time. I agree, their music is
very organic/summer sounding.

I listen to a lot of FSOL & Orbital in the summer too.

yeah...a lot of the music i like tends to be kinda
seasonal...its kinda weird
it often depends on when i listened to it most when i first
got it

boc reminds me more of late winter-early spring...when its
not as snowy and the sky is really blue

for me good summer music is prefuse 73, plaid, marumari,
µ-ziq, aphex's ambient albums, chris clark, proem, a lot of
ae's stuff, global goon, the other people place, etc

-john beltran(amazing, very organic and beautiful)
-ulrich schnauss: far away trains passing by
-susumu yokota: grinning cat
-talvin singh: ok

My summer music is LOTS of great soothing techno, some HARD
beats like chemical brothers or junkie xl or even crystal
method, some metal too...... pantera, or deftones...... when
cruzin!

It's shaping up to be a summer from hell, as always. But
having all this beautiful new electronic music will make me
feel better on these hot summer days.

Too bad Gantz Graf let me down... I was really looking
forward to a summer with some hot new Autechre, but that
doesn't cut it.

Geogaddi will definitely find new life for me this summer...
ohhhh yeah.

It's cool, and it was even cooler when I was little, lots of
adventures up there!

It's at the top of a hill behind my house, everytime you
look up there (except summer, too many leaves), you can see
these eerie silhouettes of the graves, and there's always
people moving around up there, creepy stuff late at night...
creepy going UP there at night, looks like every grave is
alive, muhahahaha... cemeteries are awesome. :-)

I always seem to bust out some 808 State in the summer.
Pacific/202/212/707, yata yata yata, are great summer tunes.

Orbital is also some good summer music!!!

Bjorks Vespertine is winter music for me...

I listen to Orbital all year long :] That's a given.
Actually, yeah, I do listen to a decent amount of Bjork in
the summer too, mainly Post I believe.

hmm i could see geogaddi as summer music but the rest of
thier stuff is pretty winter-y type music...

aphex is pretty summer-y type music... also some autechre.
think i'll have to go back to more rock music this summer,
but i really can't get into rock anymore. guess it's time to
dive into the radiohead/ 311/ marley/ alice in chains/ stone
temple pilots/ faith no more.

Radiohead is very much "winter" music for me. Cold and
dreary.

new music from blackalicious, dj shadow, common, the roots,
astrobotnia, cinematic orchestra, eminem, onyx, cex, and
rakim.

and of course the classics from mos def, radiohead, nin,
bjork, aphex, squarepusher, autechre, etc. etc.

hopefully gantz graf will be mindblowing, and a definitive
soundtrack for this summer. add some geogaddi, prefuse73,
autechre and the classic bogdan albums, and the summer will
be brilliant this year. i'll probably have to stay inside
somewhere and work my ass off most of the time, but when
that's done....ahhh. cold beers anyone ?

But for somereason I see BoC as more winterish or autumn
music..... just the way I feel... weird I guess.

Lot's of BoC's stuff makes me think of lone walks in the
mountains and woods near me.

Although I can see how some tracks (1969, etc) are "sunny"
summer tracks.

ok this might be a stupid qustion but. Howcome i cant find
BOC-mhtrtc anywhere????? Geogaddi is in every store , but
thats the only album every store has. I cant find any other
BOC cds , especially mhtrtc......did they stop making that
cd , or is it an import or what?

That's a damn good idea. I think this will be the summer of
BoC on the headphones, squarepusher on the boombox..

BOC summer music? no way, I'd take the d'arcangelo ep on a
hot summer day over BOC. My all time favorite summer album
is the richard d james album though. I remember just
sitting there at my cottage just listening to it over and
over on my headphones.

In the summer I listen more to Orbital,underworld,...
Talvin Singh,Nitin Sawhney,Natasha Atlas,.......
Fisherspooner,Mirwais,....

My wintersoundtrack exists out of
Sigur Rós,Goldfrapp,Bjork,
Air,Muse,Radiohead,
Moloko,....

The songs that remind me of that innocent childhood are
Beck - Diamond dogs
Aphex twin - beetles
boc - melissa juice
Lamb - small

...aaah

The Geogaddi track "The Devil is in the Details" is painful
through headphones. I forced myself to listen to the whole
track although I wanted to change it after about a minute.
It's not that it's bad, it just makes me feel like
something's wrong with my brain and almost induces physical
pain. WOOHOO

Most of that album is nice summertime music, though.
Supergrass' "I Should Coco" is great fun, too.

yeah, I was in Futureshop the other day, and they must've
had 5 copies of Geogaddi, but no MHTRTC...

I think BoC are good summer music because their music is
full of summer sounds, like birds chirping and all that...
and plus it just has a summer feel!!!

expensive either... ask them to get it for you or something.

out barbecuing, so I blasted the weirdest, maddest tracks.
They think I'm insane.

rain all the time.

i almost forgot:

The Verve - Urban Hymes (spelling?)

not only is it great in the summertime... but its also one
of my favourite rock albums ever...
seriously, its SO summer.... the hole album is sort of a
relaxed... 'wet' sound (tonnes of reverb and wah)

...thats not to say its lacking of energy though, cus its
definitely not
