BoC as a soundtrack to life.

[Jonse]

You ever watch a sunrise in the winter while Olson plays? Ever force your friend to take salvi- err, I mean watch your friend take salvia while he listens to Nlogax?


Ever try and play BoC to your parents and watch their dumb faces go "is this music?"


Anyone have any interesting moments in your life which had BoC playing in the background, thus creating a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!?

Haha, yeah that's really a snipet of a pshop collage I did of old pics all cut out and pasted, ect...

here is the full piece:



But I would say one my favorite memories listening to BoC would be:

Coming home from my Girlfriend's house (My now Wife) back in 2002. We stopped at our record store and I bought Geogaddi after hearing Julie and Candy online. Went back to her house to chill then I went home and listened to it all the way home on the highway with the windows down. I just remember feeling the cool 70 Degree wind flowing through the windows while The Beach At Redpoint was playing... I was a fanatic from there on out.

Sounds really nice.

Needs more kittens. Lots more kittens.

Yeah, I was driving around and got lost while listening to Nlogax. Scared the shit out of me!

(PS this was the first time I listened to Nlogax)

Wow. Beach at Redpoint while driving after hanging with a great girl...I'm just imagining the scenario, that would be quite amazing!! Basically any E experience I've always had BoC on....the best!

I was at 10,000ft on the back porch of my cabin in the rockies, it was dark outside. There was snow everywhere. I was sitting out there looking through the forest down at the city lights far away in the distance, having a smoke. Dawn Chorus flowed into my head, I could see my breath and the lights in the town below were slowly flickering. I sat out there all night with a good friend, psychedelics, and Boards of Canada.

It was such a horrible, and amazing time in my life. Those memories are the epitome of nostalgia for me. They are haunting, yet I miss them so much. Since then I have stopped using drugs, but the amazing music will never change.

There is a lot more to that story, but for now, I suppose that is all.

Boards of Canada IS a soundtrack to life

(correction)

Their music has been there for every awesome moment of my life since I first heard them.
Standout moment tend to involve the use of psychedelics, my few times on DMT were made mindblowing with the playing of their music. Psychedelics and BoC have become sort of synonymous.
A few weekends ago I introduced my GF to Lucy, we played BoC and had the greatest sex of our lives.

Other things as simple but no less beautiful include just going for a bike ride on a winter's afternoon, walking down to the beach early evening, driving through the city late at night etc etc etc.

I took 3 hits of cid today (it was pretty crazy though. felt more like my 5 or 6 hit trips) boc, as usual, was part of the trip. we listened to a lot but a moment that stands out was just walking around in a wooded area, really warm and sunny, and listening campfire headphase (satelite anthem & peacock tail). it was perfect. The sky was that shade of bleached warm blue green ish that the cover of campfire, i was seeing some crazy kaledescopic visuals, and just felt really damn good. defs a highlight of my trip There was also a bike ride later that happened to happy cycling, which was lovely

There was this one time when I was in the backseat of the car during a road trip to San Bernadino and it was raining and I almost fell asleep while listening to Nlogax, that was pretty cool.

There was also this one time where I listened to Geogaddi during a thunder/lightning storm.

MHTRTC: Late Afternoon
Geogaddi: Midnight
Campfire: Sunrise
Listen to those albums at those times for maximum effect.

Every day when I go outside and there is a weather of some kind I pick a track which suits the weather. Then I try to associate the music with natural phenomenons in my mind. BoC is extremely good for doing so. They have so many tracks that go with different kinds of happenings in the nature. Awesome combinations of aural and visual experiences. Just walking around in the nature while BoC playing is a very uplifting experience and I really get energy from doing so.

Not always, unfortunately.

BoC as a soundtrack to life is great, unless of course you're at some public place and some asshole blasts Justin Bieber or some shit like that. The mix doesn't go so well.

That's why I use in-ear plugs which isolate outside noise from mixing with the music.

Hmmm, most ear plugs aren't that great of quality though. Do you have special ones?

Don't even get me started on the bus I take home from school, or as my friend put it, the "white bus". It's to the point where waking up at 5:00AM, leaving at 6:30AM, walking 8 blocks (2 of them uphill) to get to the bus stop is much more enjoyable.

The hardest to listen to on the bus has got to be 1969, at such a loud volume the cymbal crashes make my eyeballs vibrate.
