BOC doesn't have any music videos, right? Has anyone heard of a legit reason why not?

They make their own videos they show sometimes at their live shows (WARP 10, Lighthouse), but other than that they have no plans I've heard of releasing them to the public.
Once watmm is back up, all the BoC videos from the contest will be up for viewing...

Yeah, we had a contest that ended in January of last year where BoC themselves picked three winning videos made by fans. The prizes were a autographed cooy of the Ltd Geogaddi each, and the grand prize got the autographed Ltd. Geo plus a cool metallic MHTRTC poster, also autographed by Mike and Marcus. Everyone else got stickers and postcards BoC sent to me to give out to all the entrants. They're really nice guys, regardless of what Morton says about them :)

I saw the video for 'A Beautiful Place Out in the Country' on VH1 ages ago.
It was crap. Marcus and Michael running toward each other in slow motion and soft focus in a sun drenched field of wild flowers, arms out open in embrace, butterflies flittering around ther...
... or was that Iron Maiden?

The one that won the watmm contest was crap, but the June 9th video that came in second was kickass.

...Agreed - but considering the 2nd place winner created that video on a 140,000.00USD editing rig, it should be good :)

my thoughts exactly, though I can't deny a well done video is nice, especially since videos for electronica tracks are generally more enjoyable (the music is more abstract)... no pop singers doing goofy dance moves in stupid uniforms for the most part, I should think.

Yeah, maybe if they release like a DVD with an entire album worth of music videos that would be cool.
I just don't want to see Carson Daly interviewing BoC anytime soon...

why not
would you not like htem any less?
would they're "popularity" make their music any less great?
sheesh, you people are selfish
if i had to choose between a) boc staying unknown except to us and b) letting mainstream know boc, and somewhat understand them and what the music is really about , and helping them learn about themselves
i would choose b in a heartbeat.

elusive... I'm not sure if you get the picture... Sure I dream of a day when I can walk into a grocery store and hear BoC playing from above me, but in reality, when someone goes mainstream, the music changes... for the worse... It would no longer be about making that music we've all come to love, it would be about image, and looking good in their next MTV interview with Carson Daly, and making an appearence in some Hollywood film, etc.

Yeah, the state of music videos in general is the same for anything else that can be turned into just a profitmaking scheme: there's a lot of crap and some few gems. There's nothing flawed about music videos themselves, if they do the music justice. Frankly, I started this thread mostly because BOC are in a very short list of artists I would love to make a video for further into my carreer. Just wanted to know if they were against them in principle or something.

I wonder if they just didn't think Cunningham's style was suitable to their music, but he's pretty versatile. Oh well.

Thanks, tolstoyed. Do you know what the word "incasinati" mean? I only speak French. My non-Italian-speaking inferrence is that they don't want to be incased (incasinati?) in someone's (visual) definition of what they are about.

well im a non-italian, non-english speaker hehe, but i reckon "incasinati" in that context means, they don't wan't to be in a club/gang/group with him.
prior to that he says: they have their strong identity, they're protecting it and they don't want to get together (i cant find the prper expression) with a guy like me, i think.
thats the best i can do :) but im sure woofer could help you with that better

no problem. well perhaps this thing boc is doing (keeping it all as quiet as possible) is a big bonus for them. when i got music has the right to childern it was like the best music of that moment, but im having this feeling these days, "mystery" about them is the only thing that keeps a little interest about them. Im looking to their new album with great expectation and hope they can come up with something way better that geogaddi.
i wouldn't be surprised if cunningham turned them down. anyway this is what they're best at, whenever you read a thing like this just makes them more "mysterious" and cooler for that :)

"b) letting mainstream know boc, and somewhat understand them and what the music is really about, and helping them learn about themselves"'
if you had any way to gaurantee that this would happen, then I too would go for it. But, how, exactly, do you plan on helping every person who watches MTV learn something about themselves from watching a BoC video, or more importantly, even understand the music itself? that's why electronica isn't mainstream...

Plus, when you put your music (or whatever) out that far into the public domain you lose a degree of control over your own work. BOC are better something that people stumble into, IMO.

Cunningham has around 2 hours of unreleased BoC they gave to him to use for the Nissan and Telecom Italia commercials - the former uses a bit of "The Color of The Fire" and the latter uses an unreleased track.
