Apologies for necroing.

On foxtel here there's music played in the channel selection screen, and I have it on sometimes as it's quite good. I heard Peacock Tail on it a while ago, which was rather nice.

I heard 'Julie And Candy' on one of the documentaries that accompany episodes of Doctor Who.

"Slow The Bird Down" playing over the PA at an Aqua Park in Portugal. My Father-in-Law remarked, "What's this rubbish?"

the strangest place to hear boc is hell
I don't know. If they played the early records, and they were horrible, it would be quite fitting.

In this case ignorance isn't bliss.

Gyroscope on 'The Conspiracy Files', UK BBC2 this evening (all about the Lockerbie bomb)

Edit; ok, add 1969 to that.

I once heard BoC clips in a Nova documentary called "Dirty Bomb" that I watched in a high school Biology class. I was sitting there, half paying attention when I heard BoC...my head immediately shot up as that was the first time I'd ever heard them without putting it on myself. A very pleasant surprise, and in a documentary, too.

Another time was in one of my college psychology courses, interestingly enough. We were watching a documentary about Philip Zimbardo's classic prison experiment, and a few BoC clips were played throughout. Awesome to see that BoC, so influenced themselves by documentary music, have become the soundtrack to a new generation of films. :)

I recently attended Shambhala Music Festival in Salmo BC in the middle of the forest on a private ranch. Estimated over 12000 people. This is the kind of fetival you might see BOC play at especially at the beach stage. Anyways, I was using one of the porta potties and I hear some guy walking by playing a BOC song on a boom box. I can't rememer what track because I was blasted on certain chemicals but it was humbling to hear.
