My brother was at the Moody Gardens Aquarium in Galveston, TX yesterday and said he heard Dayvan Cowboy on a kiosk explaining an exhibit.

I work part time at a guest house, so discerning guests can expect to hear anything from Brian Mcbride to Helios playing softly in the living room

If you've been watching the BBC's Stargazing Live over the last couple of days, you may have noticed Dayvan Cowboy, Pete Standing Alone and Olson all as incidental music. No doubt there'll be more to come between now and tomorrow.

Someone on tonight's The Culture Show (BBC2) has a thing for Geogaddi. So far we've had Sunshine Recorder and a is to b..

The only place I've ever heard them is in Adult Swim bumps, which was also how I got into them, and the only time I've ever seen someone wearing a BoC shirt is when I look in the mirror.

My sister has said she heard them on the radio before though.

I've heard them a couple of time actually

Once on an episode of Top Gear (A load of songs)
Some documentary on RTÉ
Roygbiv in a pub in the town where I go to college, was really surprised by that one!

Yesterday was a BoC day for me.

I was listening to the radio, a programme about this French résistant called Raymond Aubrac and I just heard Hi Scores played in the background. (you can hear it here :

then click on "le petit entretien" on the top right corner). It made my day but it wasn't over yet.

I went to the Interpol gig last night in Paris, it was at the Zénith which is a pretty big hall (6000 people). I just came in the hall and what did I instantly recognize? Amo Bishop Roden, which was played while people were waiting. Nobody seemed to care. I did.

I just love when this happens!

I heard Dayvan Cowboy in the background of a little interlude to a radio show about experimental music late at night after work a week or so ago

I was at a restaurant in Los Angeles a while ago that was playing a couple of tracks off Geogaddi. It was very, very strange. It was a nicer restaurant (my girlfriend's mom has $$) and I seriously doubted anyone there new BoC. Either way, it was nice to have some good tunes to listen to while I ate.

I've also heard BoC a few times on NPR and KPBS (san diego public television).

Yeah NPR's RadioLab used a few excerpts of BoC.
I love RadioLab, best podcast ever, ever.

I heard something from MHTRTC at a Starbucks across from the American Embassy in Berlin in December. Didn't know how to feel about it.

I went to get lunch just now, and at a cafe in San Francisco, Julie and Candy started to play. I had to stay for the length of the song even though I had received my food already.

Ah yes, I looked up the station I get on my TV called "Galaxie Chill Lounge"

Come and chill out at The Chill Lounge. The hip, swanky, and groovy sounds of soft electronica, trip hop, acid jazz and downtempo. Leave this channel on all day and night to set the atmosphere to chill, or tune in as an ideal aural landscape for a dinner party or evening cocktails. These smooth grooves and mellow beats will remind you of the hot clubs of the world that define the hip lounge culture. Leave it to us to program the best sounds for you from Prefuse 73, Boozoo Bajou, Biosphere, Boards of Canada, Thievery Corporation, Goldfrapp, the Orb and many more.

I've heard Biosphere multiple times on there too, it's a great station

I play BoC so much while driving that when I hear it outside of that, I don't recognize it at first. When I was on the laptop and Adult Swim had a 15-second commercial with "Under The Coke Sign" playing, it took me a few seconds where I was like "...Is that fucking BoC?"

They played it on a radio station my boss was listening to at work once. But it was "Dayvan Cowboy", not like it was "Sequoia" or anything.

The first time I ever heard boc in a Dutch tv programme just happened. It's a programme about lover boys. You can hear 'telephasic workshop' in the beginning and 'open the light' at 3.40.
