Bocpages is probably the best archive of information related to a certain artist (or even genre) I've ever come across. Reading about all the details in Geogaddi on Bocpages is what cemented my love for Boards of Canada.
Salut! Fredd-E! For trifling through the internet and giving us fans a near-encyclopedic bible to all of the brothers' output! Salut!

Fredd-E, to you a much-deserved thank you I duly present.
I was thinking about all the work you put into the BOCpages just yesterday, when I was browsing through the images, I noticed that you promptly had put up the ones from the Guardian articles. Or at least, I assume it was you. Anyway, to think of the amount of cataloguing and probably not-so-fun HTML that goes into that is really overwhelming. And then I thought to myself, Fredd-E must be so insanely busy with the BOCpages all the time, does he have a day job?

I have a day job indeed. I work 39h/week. I luckily also have a girlfriend (no kids) who has been very supportive these last weeks in bearing with me and the countless hours of work I've put in everything I've done so far.saturdayindex wrote:And then I thought to myself, Fredd-E must be so insanely busy with the BOCpages all the time, does he have a day job?
I sincerely love you Carolien. You're the best!
I think I've slept 5h daily on average the last weeks. I commute to work (1.5h daily) and work about 8.5 hours. After that I do some household things and have dinner and do the dishes.
If it wasn't for the adrenaline rush I get from keeping you all in the loop and being so fond of this band and their music, I would've had a crash already. But their music is so compelling, it really gets me going.
I am also grateful to see an increase of Facebook likes from 3250 (the 20th of April) up till 10320 today. That's 7070 new seeds harvested in about 50 days. That's nothing but amazing! The internet is evil? I guess not!

All of old. Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
