What I mean by this is are you noticing strange references and weird numerical patterns that would ordinarily be deemed meaningless, or is it just me? For example, the other day I freaked out when my total at lunch was $6.66. Also, I got a weird feeling when I noticed that two characters in an old Monty Python sketch were named Michael and Marcus. I know there's no such thing as listening to too much BoC, but I am starting to get worried.

The only thing that's getting to me is my hopeless hunt for all the old BoC tracks.

It's a matter of selective attention: what you choose to notice. It's not that you "see" more BoC type references, you just happen to consciously take notice of them now.

But yeah, it happens to me too.

Well put. I agree with your statement, and would like to add that this "selective attention" is probably the result of what psychologists call "too much free time," or what mature adults call "unemployment."

zander two, are you who I think you are?

I can't say that is me, but perhaps an evil twin, maybe even an aphex twin. And if I'm reading that correctly, it comes from Bristol. In my Massive Attack/Portishead obsession days, I would have shit to have been there to purchase that "warb crusty" whatever in God's name that is. No, I am afraid my 6.66 came at a Taco Bell, which goes along with my previous "unemployment" revelation. But thanks for the thought.

The Doomed Generation anyone?

once you start to think about it, everything starts to be like that.

I have a secret...I see BoC People! *exhales visible breath from the cold air*

I already saw 47 everywhere, but 747 just made me laugh. I think it was named that solely to fuck with my head

They DID get me into hexagons though. Its , like, the perfect shape.

11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.

I'll do things like if I'm filling my car up with gas, I usually put somewhere around $60 so I'll do $60.10 (sixtyten).

Then at my old job, when we'd assign to go orders for food (it was a restaurant), we'd put numbers with the orders. The numbers I'd choose were usually:

1969
5978
6606
777 (Autechre song)
555 (Ochre song)
6010
etc.

i became very aware of boc's influence on me a few years back...as much as they opened my eyes to beauty, there is certainly darker elements snuck in. i suppose its the balance of life.

Well it's not really surprising, the world is guided and dominated by maths, it's the root of the very frame of the cosmos, at least in our experience/language based on physics etc. So yes numbers WILL crop up everywhere and have some sort of connection to everything else, but it doesn't mean it's on purpose, it just means it stems from the same source

A matter of perspective I suppose

that source is the one from which all things depend.

I think of BoC when I see women wearing turquoise jewelry.

I hate numbers, but I understand your point. Ever since I started listening to BoC I notice patterns everywhere, and things that before were kind of chaotic make perfect sense now.

Yes, they have.

they just.. made me more chill.
i'd never found music that was so relaxingly mellow, yet forced lucidness into my mind like a square peg into a round hole.

but the lucidness fit, unlike that damned square peg..

A square can fit into a circle if its small enough.
