This is one of very many.

Mike - "I once did a track that starts with a synth flourish that sounds like an amalgam of every ABC, Lorimar, Stephen J. Cannell musical ID I'd ever soaked up as a kid."

I would LOVE to hear this track...makes me wonder of all those tracks they have just sitting there and what they sound like...


I think it's quite likely that he was talkiing about the bit at the beginning of Red Moss - it fits the description exactly.

I thought the same thing the first time I heard it.


My favourite is - "we don't like having our pictures' taken. We look like potatoes" Can't remeber where that's from. Maybe the Face inteview (must get that typed up for the peeps sometime).

Unfortunately, 10.06.06 is October only to people from the USA.

Because it's really logical having month.day.year... :roll:


Ive often struggled to understand that.


It's how it's spoken in the two languages. In contemporary English we say 'tenth of june' and in American English they say 'June tenth'.

I would fall off my chair if BOC actually meant October tenth.


Then how come on "Hi Scores" it is written as "June 9th" and not "9th of June"? :wink:




Because that's what they wanted to call it. Beacuse it sounds American to us Brits. Because they're called Boards Of Canada. I dunno.


Hahaha, calm down, just asked a question buddy. Just because they are called Boards Of Canada doesn't mean they have to write the dates that way.


I am the very model of zen like calm at all times. 8)
Haha, I didnt't mean anything by it. Peace.


this is just for fun...


mmm. Starting to look trippy


Indeed.


Yeah, you're right.
On topic: But why the date, then? Where was the party? :(


I am not sure. I thought it was at Redpoint.


JEASUS!! This is gas :lol:


You said....gas :oops:


boards of canada walks into a bar.

I'm interested, please go on.
