i'm thankful all the trash gets removed from the twoism forum. its the only forum i actually visit. although the boc fanatic in me is slowly dying i'm still eagerly anticipating the next release.
Someday, in a galaxy far far away.. there will be a real thread about a real album. And we'll choke it 300 full with posts of speculation, complaints about the artwork, ah that new track on bleep is rubbish, why can't they make it like Geogaddi these days, it took some time but I love it, it's a slow burner, my wife and I got married to it, i'm building a religion based around track 7....

You know..... and I can't wait.
Ah yes, that will be the day. Hopefully sooner than later.
I used to be pretty obsessive over BoC, but I already lost interest a while ago and I don't care. Boards Of Canada is now a part of my past. Depending on my finances I might sell everything I have by them to go on holiday. I might regain interest when there actually is a new album sitting on my desk but for now I have better things to do and listen to.

If you're selling IABPOITC vinyl i'm buying! And i totally get what you mean. I'm on a boc-break myself as well.

I don't get his sence of humor. It seems like he really enjoys to fool around with the BoC fans on his own subforum.
The other day he posted this in the Geogaddi topic:

Ironic of him to say something like that about his own subforum.
Can't wait what he will come up with next year!
@wwbjd: Why resisted? sounds like you didn't allow yourself to post or something.
His humor is very dry. I can relate in a way. But trying to pull an april1 boc joke for the 2nd year in a row is just beating a dead horse.
(oh it actually was intended as a joke I just read, blah)
Same here. Love that album. Isn't it all made up entirely of samples ?
Genius.
Yea it is all samples. The wiki page on that album lists many of them. I used to be into metal in the 80s and when that came out and I heard a metallica sample(in the number song) in it I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
what i don't understand is where he got the idea to 1: pull the same crappy april fools joke he did last year and 2: do it a week early to try to give it more believability

that was ridiculous.
To be fair to the guy, he's held his hands up and admitted it. Like I said, sometimes things can be taken too seriously. I don't think any harm was meant. Onwards...
