Thats awesome! I live in North Eastern Minneapolis and we have a coffee shop that has played Chromakey Dreamcoat and '84 Pontiac Dream. Nice to meet ya!

Good to see there are other fans in the area! I actually picked up a copy of Twoism on CD at the electric fetus in like 2008-2009. I was also pretty stoked to hear reach for the dead played on 89.3 afew different times. I think it's the first like 60 seconds of happy cycling used to be/maybe still is in one of their adverts, so the first time I heard it playing behind the DJ's voice I was seriously confused..couldn't put my finger on what the song was even though i had listened to it many times. I live across the st. croix in WI and honestly I haven't heard much BOC or the like played over here, just dayvan cowboy once at a sushi place. I have been hearing more Underworld when i'm out and about though, i'm down with that.

Reach For The Dead is featured in the winter sports game, Steep. I was quite shocked to hear it pop up. Love the game even more now.

Outside at the top of the Burj Khalefa....well not the really expensive top but almost....ouch.

I KNOW RIGHT?

Was kinda sublime. Recalibrated my head a little bit in the middle of the tourist machine.

That's quite epic! I probably would have geeked out in that situation and made a scene, lol. What song was it?

I heard a song from TH play in a bar in Montreal in 2016, and when I complimented the server/bartender on his choice of music and ordered more beer, he played another half-dozen songs from that album. He earned his tip! :mrgreen:

A mini doc about the global bee distinction due to the Varoa mite and a possible solution by creating a "super bee" which is resistant to the mite. Actually not a strange place to hear Reach for the Dead at all!

Everywhere, actually. Or nowhere. I don't even really know at this point.

Wait, wait, wait. They genuinely played BoC at the Burj Khalefa? Was this someone playing it of their own volition or actual licensed music being used by the people who own the building/ staff?

I wish I could get my music on the luxury hotel PA system circuit. That would be nice.

This has likely been posted already but I happened to come across this BBC 9/11 documentary that features Rue The Whirl at 3:10 and then leads into Kid For today. This is one 911 documentary I've never seen before. There's something so haunting about knowing how that day unfolds. The shock and confusion is something that still has a hold on me to this day whenever I think back to the day.

Roygbiv's in the background of this Australian satirist's video.

Funnily enough, it's a vid which is taking the piss out of the station which I mentioned in this thread about 10 years ago playing BoC's music.
(they don't play it any more)

Sick Times while walking in front of a second hand clothing shop on a street in Saratov, Russia. I was absolutely amazed, to say the least. It was a Monday morning, so I figured the guy manning the shop was bored out of his mind and put some of his tunes while there were no clients around.

very cool.
Does BoC have a decent following in Russia? I've been seeing a fair few comments in Cyrillic on their videos.
