Guy on Reddit claims he met Marcus at a pub recently

[ryetronics]

Take it for what it is. Who knows if it's true or not. One comment is a guy claiming to know Marcus as well and said he plays Fortnite with him. Haha. Made me laugh.

[PurpleFlurp]

Seems genuine but who knows. I'd like to think that it was real

Totally misread this as the guy worked at B&Q, rather than B&O. The thought of Marcus buying a tin of Dulux paint, a length of 4x2 and some garden furniture has me pissing myself laughing.

"Excuse me, youre Boards -"
"Of Canada? Aye. Well, half of it."
"No, I mean, you've left your plywood at the till"

So, I just got back from a vacation to Edinburgh. I've got family who lives up there, but this time I spent quite a bit exploring the general area. The "main event" was when, against all odds, I bumped into Boards of Canada at a grocery store just outside of town.

I told them how cool it was to meet them in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother them and ask for photos or copies of Acid Memories or Play By Numbers or Hooper Bay or anything.

Mike said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but Marcus kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” as Mike kept closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard Marcus chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw them trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen oranges in their hoodies without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Excuse me, you need to pay for those first.” At first they kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the oranges and started scanning it multiple times, Mike stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each orange and put them in a bag and started to say the price, Both of the brothers kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I walked away very confused and never actually having gotten the chance to ask them about the pre-Twoism albums. Fuck.

Not sure what to think about the idea of Marcus buying a £25,000 stereo system. Definitely not impossible... but they did just expand their studio a few years ago, which I’d imagine included upgrading their audio system. Would they really want to drop that kind of dough again so soon?

Maybe they really do just have that much money, without ever touring or releasing any albums is 7 years.

[Valotonin]

^ Yes. Surely unless you are after a very specific vintage model, that is well beyond the diminishing returns point in terms of quality for money, as well.

Dammit, why didn't I think of this one?

What the f**k did you just f***ing say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Music College, and I've been involved in numerous secret live events with AFX and U-Ziq (to name a few), and I have over 300,000 subscribers. I am trained in musical warfare and I'm the top bass synth programmer in the entire music industry. You are nothing to me but just another amateur. I will blow you the f**k away with precision beats the likes of which have never been heard before on this Earth, mark my f**king words. You think you can get away with saying that s**t to me over the Internet? Think again, f**ker. As we speak I am contacting my network of secret musicians across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your music career. You're f**king nothing, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can drop the bass on you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my travel synth. Not only am I extensively trained in effects processing, but I have access to the entire arsenal of secret weapons in Hexagon Sun and I will use it to its full extent to blow your miserable mind, you little s**t. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your f***ing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will s**t complex harmonies all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking done, kiddo.

A few years ago I would have pissed myself if I met them and ramble about random things and ask so many questions.

Nowaday I would just say "hi, Thank you" and be gone. Just too overwhelming and I'd fuck it up.

[zeoevil]

I believe him. My dad works for Nintendo and told me Mike and Marcus are confirmed for Smash.

[Soul_Slip]

If I ever met them, I would try to strike a conversation up about some obscure piece of recording equipment or something along those lines... like “magnetic wire recording” or if they have ever pressed a shellac lol
I am super curious as to what different recording equipment they have experimented with might be.
Or I might just say nothing is real and just walk away

[dp]

¶ Yes, say nothing is real and walk away! Lol.

I have no reason to disbelieve the guy, and I hope it's true! Really cool story.

Off topic but I'm actually "listening" to Magic Window right now, and an ambulance just passed by and I'm high. Happy Holidays, twoism. I asked Santa for a postcard from Xaugh.

[Xaugh]

I dunno if it really is true or not... but, i tried to xerox my laugh when i read about the incident and it just wouldn't happen.

I did see a guy at michaels craftstorea few weeks ago that said... i'm marcus, now buy some friggen crafts already

He wasnt drunk though, so you got me. Which led me to the question. Pub, puberty.

Wait did you see that spacecraft of people on flakka on youtube?

[TheStatPow]

Looks like you got your postcard dp

...I'll see myself out.

I only semi-believe it. He said Marcus left while he was in the bathroom "like a dream," but the guy bought Marcus a drink. If someone buys me a drink and is nice then I am not going to dip out without saying bye while he goes to take a piss.
