BOC Campfire Mixtape

[Moebius]

I've been digging around in my spare time a bit looking for this article, can't find a bit about it. Not even from the Stereolab forums, which are pretty chaotic and don't go back that far.

It might have been published in the Japanese version of Dazed & Confused, that would explain why it's so obscure.

Looking forward to seeing if you can find those tracks, everythingyoudoisaballoon! niknak, check your mail

[nick47]

Sounds like a good compilation. I PM'ed you as well niknak

Can anyone who asked me for a link to the mixtape and didn't get a reply PM me again. I have a bunch of messages sitting in my 'outbox' and can't work out how to resend them.

I never managed to track down Mark Johnson ' Asia Major' or Smith Perkins Smith 'say no more', so if anyone else can find them let me know.

I agree. Without a scanned article this is questionable at best.

Was a bit bored tonight, so I put together a youtube playlist of most of the tracks, apart from the elusive Mark Johnson "Asia Major" and Smith Perkins Smith "say no more".

No worries. I actually found a copy of Smith Perkins Smith, but just need to figure out how to turn it into a youtube video.

Hello great forum, can someone pm me these tracks please?

"The guitar-based music we listen to is usually from artists who have been totally entrenched in guitar song-writing from the word go, people like John Frusciante"

What a coincidence

[cubistking1906]

I'm with the skeptics on this one, though it's not too far out to be legit.

Scans would be awesome.

So it seems that after 15 years someone finally tracked down a scan of this, and it's now on bocpages.

It was in Dazed and Confused after all. The included illustration is wild. At first i thought it was by Mike, but alas not...

I guess this means I didn't make it all up

I've posted about it on other threads, but I should add here that Mike himself helped finish off this mixtape and sent me the final couple of tracks that were basically impossible to find back then, with the note that he was uncomfortable with online filesharing of music and that they were only for distributing to the "good guys at twoism". Now the whole thing is on Youtube ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[niknak]

Marcus no Mike, doh

[niknak]

After nearly 25 years of listening to them, I honestly still don't know which one is which

[kakanara]

Wow, this thread is as old as my sister. Did you get the files directly from him?!

[niknak]

Yep. Or rather he sent me a ftp link to them hosted on the hellinterface.com site

[kakanara]

That's so cool. I wish i was around when they'd interact with the community like that.

[niknak]

lol. They didn't. It was no different to today. As far as I know they haven't directly contacted anyone else on this forum ever, except maybe a couple of the mods.

[fefor]

Holy shit, that's awesome, thanks for sharing that story!
