BOC Campfire Mixtape
Posted: Thu Mar 23, 2006 3:33 pmI came across this on another forum a few weeks ago and haven't seen it mentioned here, so i thought i'd share it with you guys. I've tracked down most of the tracks except for Smith Perkins Smith which seems to be on an out of print LP released in 1972, and Mark Johnson. I've tried soulseek and limewire but can't find anything by either of them. Mark Johnson must be fairly well known though. I found his website and according to that he had a track on the Finding Nemo soundtrack. Here it is anyway -
<b>Boards of Canada mixtape from D & C mag
Campfire mixtape by Marcus Eoin (one half of BoC)
John Denver 'I'd rather be a cowboy'
for collecting firewood
John Frusciante 'Regret"
Now the fire's lit we need spacerock
Sufjan stevens ' A good man is hard to find'
There's a great out of tune chorus that shouldn't work but it does
Smith Perkins Smith ' say no more'
A cowboy classic. any song that uses 'dust bowl' gets my thumbs up.
the Beach Boys ' celebrate the news'
There's a beach boys song fro every occasion. Who needs drugs when there's music like this.
Ween ' among his tribe'
Time to get the marshmallows out. Ween are so good they're like a hundred bands for the price of one.
Yo La Tengo ' Tiny birds'
Time to gather some more combustibles.
Bonnie Prince Billy ' No more workhouse blues'
The best use of pedal steel I've heard in a long while.
Mark Johnson ' Asia Major'
By now you'll be lying on your back looking at the stars. The best song writer this side of the Kuiper Belt.
Joni Mitchell ' Amelia'
Maybe the most perfect song ever recorded. When the fire's burning down and you want one last song echoing out as you make your way home, this should be it.</b>
It's an interesting glimpse into the guys influences i think. Note the lack of electronica or what would be seen as their contemporaries, and the preference towards quiet and country-ish guitar music. Of course that could be something to do with it being a relaxing and accessible 'campfire' mixtape, to be listened to in the background while you get stoned with your mates on the beach. Ask them for a mixtape for some other occasion and i suppose it could be full of Christ and Autechre and the like. I really like most of it, especially the Ween and John Frusciante tracks. Joni Mitchell's never done much for me though.
If anyone manages to hunt down the tracks i'm missing that would be great. And of course if anyone wants the others posted anywhere or sent to them just let me know.
I'm assuming D&C is Dazed and Confused. Anyone have the rest of the text?
