BOC Numberwang: The Game

[Redd Panderson]

I had an idea.

BOC Numberwang: The Game!

Rules:

One: draw a tarot card.

Two: shuffle all Boards of Canada tracks and select one at random.

Three: Using the tarot card and any details about the track or album, write a brief paragraph (or a dissertation, I won't yuck your yum) describing why they are connected. Embrace your inner tinfoil hat. No genAI please–let’s see YOUR creativity! Allow yourself to be more aware of your pathway through this life. When it is necessary, you can program yourself, and be able to dream the information you require. This will only happen if you choose. Ready, now…

I'll start:

Card: The Chariot
Song: Buckie High

The chariot is the 7th card of the major arcana. Buckie High is track 30 of Old Tunes Volume 2. That's four 7s, plus 2 for the second volume = 30. That’s why Buckie High is such a stable track rhythmically with forward momentum: it is riding forth with divine, balanced confidence (four 7s) toward completion (+2). Buckie High was the high school that BOC attended, so this song is clearly intended to convey the learner's journey–the chariot–toward mastery, as heard in the old tunes era tapes.

Well fuck now I want BoC-themed tarot thanks for that.

Will come back after I grab a deck (never had my own before so that will be interesting)
