Re: Thee Post When Yer Sober Thread
Alcoholism, and similar life-destroying addictions like gambling or long-term opioid usage, are sometimes more a symptom than the disease. They form the illusion of an escape. But an escape from what? What/who do you fear ?

Re: Thee Post When Yer Sober Thread
There's no "quick fix" but you could try your luck with TRE and psychedelic therapy. This is not a foolproof method and you'll probably need a big dose which will be a difficult experience. There have been cases when depressed people (often accidentally) took a massive overdose of psychedelics and ...

Re: Thee Post When Yer Sober Thread
Btw sorry if that post was hard to read. Not because it was too emotional but because of weird formatting. I've had people complain about that. I could spell check with AI but I refuse to do that. I'm actually pretty bright but the trauma dumbs me down.

Re: Thee Post When Yer Sober Thread
Ah well, I'm drunk again. I can't for the life of me understand why people are as horrible as they seem to be.
I guess I could elaborate but it would be of no use.

Yeah okay. I'm assuming you would tell that to a woman in ...

Re: Headphones vs Speakers (regarding BoC)
I'll prefer to listen to music on a really good set of speakers in a really good room over headphones any day. Sure, with a good pair of headphones it's easier to hear the very fine details of the recording, but I prefer the physicality that comes with the experience of a good pair of speakers in a ...

Re: Thee Post When Yer Sober Thread
Oh man. I slipped up with my sobriety after 36 days, for pragmatic reasons. I had been putting off doing something for too long and it was about to cause problems so I bought some wine and got it over with. I remember those first days when I thought I'd never get over the need to drink but after 20 ...

Are you memeing? Yeah satanic backmasking, fever dream replications, child exploiting cult leaders, demonic mind control ain’t shit.

Re: Now you’ve heard the album, how does the cover connect?
All I can say is that the cover fits the tunes. The color scheme is quite warm and the people in it seem to be enjoying themselves so it fits the happier songs too. If they put a zombie kid or something there it would be a terrible fit for most of the tunes. I think even the Beatty graphics used for ...

Re: is boc satanic in your view?
Give me a break. If you want to have some sophisticated anti-religious philosophy there are better ways to do it. I’m sure they have some cute definition for the movement that sounds noble and great. So does everyone. You’ll find the most self-absorbed person will call themselves ”empathetic ...

Re: 04. Age Of Capricorn
I think on past listens I've undervalued how emotionally charged that prayer is. The speaker was probably not being phony at all and wholeheartedly believed in what he was saying, even if it sounds a bit commercial. It is a powerful sample and they did some impressive processing on it too, I was ...

Re: GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART III
I think they've said that they'd make music even if nobody was listening because it's their passion. I can still hear that on Inferno. Some people said it sounded like uninspired contrived fan service, which could happen to aging artists. I'm not hearing that. I used to make music just for fun and ...

Re: INFERNO Tape
Also a pretty big fan of the tactile experience of it. Like, I don't NEED to have any of my music on any kind of physical media at all. The main thing I like about tapes is the physical experience of them. They way they look on the shelf, their size and form factor, the way it feels to handle them ...

Re: GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART III
Röyksopp actually did release ”Junior” and then ”Senior” the next year. Two guys, chillout electronic music, the parallels are there.
I really doubt they’ll do a duology though but I wonder how they would announce the second part. A year seems too soon for a new Boards album. I wonder if at this ...

Re: 04. Age Of Capricorn
It’s a Mike solo track right? Something something maybe the real Mabus was the Marcus who stopped making music along the way. He’s praying for Marcus to return and save the band. He bore Mike’s sin of playing too much guitar on TCH

Re: 04. Age Of Capricorn
I wonder how much significance the samples have. I think BoC have always had a knack for sound bites that are phonetically interesting but meaningless. "Orange! Yeah that's right!"

Oh God you mean like those Beatles tribute bands where they have the haircuts and suits and everything? But with beanies, North Face jackets and CRT TVs?
That's one way to make sure Mike and Marcus go back to releasing exclusively to 5 friends I guess
