O.................K............(WTF?!?)

laugghing...wtf....how did you even find this

Y'know, I asked myself the same question - it was THAT bad.
Incredibly, I was just looking to see what the latest BOC fan vid was and this showed up.
I've seen some weird stuff use BOC in it's time, but this doesn't so much take the biscuit as help itself to the whole packet of Hobnobs.

Hurricane Sandy is bearing down on me at the moment and I'm playing The Campfire Headphase

It's quite relaxing

hurricane?! bad times. its quite cold here in england if it consoles you any

I love to listen to BoC while I drive. Especially when I'm travelling far away from my home.

It's like driving with 3d glasses in the twilight zone... It magnifies all the landscapes.

Sorry to unnecessarily bump this, but I just went back to it. yes, I'm in Norfolk, VA at the moment and we seemed to get the the edge of the worst of it, so it was pretty much fine. Power never even went out.

glad you're ok was starting to feel bad for joking about it!x

I actually love to do homework or any reading or any of that with BoC. Their music is great but can also work as background shtuff.

driving in an unfamiliar area.

That sounds extremely fuggin dangerous. Personally, I like to walk to pretty far away places on nice Summer evenings with BoC in my phones, then jump on a bus home still listening to em. Sad, I know, but I've got some really distinct memories from doing this.

Reading Brett Easton Ellis or walking at sunset.

Write my congressman.

i used to do puzzles while listening to BoC a lot. i really enjoyed that, i should start doing it again.

and of course they provide perfect music for driving. my dad lives a few hours from me and i love listening to them when i'm driving down to see him. really during any road trip i take i listen to at least one of their albums or sometimes a handful of favorite tracks.

also i listen to them a lot when i'm working on my artwork. while i was working on my most recent large piece, a really complex painting of metatron's cube, i listened to BoC and painted for 5 hours straight without any breaks. it felt really great.
here's the finished painting if you're interested in taking a peek

Stare out of the window from a moving plane or train. Drive slower than I normally would and feel relaxed and calm and alive. Smell the fresh air.

None of those at the same time, mind you.

That is beautiful man. I paint too but never to this extent of detail, that takes some serious dedication..
As for the topic - I like to draw when I listen to BoC. Smoking is great too, I always put my headphones on when I go out to smoke a cigarette/whatever.

Drive either on the highway at sunset,

or in the night's gloom listening to Old Tunes.

With a blunt maybe.

Ride my bike on a scenic trail! Including late when it's dark out.

Hiking the trails of Letchworth

Peeling potatoes

Hiking the Eureka Dunes in Death Valley. Then falling over because it's a stupid thing to do with a hangover. What a twat.
