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.

Lmao, weird! FlyLo is known to do this too. It must be some kind of Warp ritual or something

With that being said, I'm not particularly fond of Magic Window.

Wait I'm a little confused, did you actually say something to the effect of "I don't want to be a douche and bother you guys"?

I live in Los Angeles, where there are tons of celebs of all different levels, obviously all the big ones but we have a lot of lesser-known but still notable celebs(YouTube, DJs, that sort of thing), and from what I understand from friends that are of that ilk, the response by BOC is sort of understandable. You never know how often they get barraged with random little fanboys that recognize them, even if they're an underground band, relatively speaking.

At the same time, I'd probably be a little disappointed.

I'm cool with Iced Cooly Beatnik though.
