I preferred your earlier ones - the ones that have never actually been published and were only circulated to family and friends.

According to some people, those earlier ones don't actually exist. But I heard someone had them on another forum. It turned out to be a book by Mum.

Thanks to book thievery and lower prices of writing equipment any old kid in his bedroom can write books now. it's so annoying, i liked it better when only professionals were writing books

I've asked her to stop doing that.

Make sure to read the bock backwards!

It would probably be the first hexagonal book ever published. A bit dodgy on the shelves but, it would probably sell. And I'd probably be a total cunt and buy it anyway :roll: .

What could the chapters be :?: :
:idea:
01 The boys hanging out
02 The boys still hanging out
03 The boys getting a bit tired of hanging out
04 Shit, she's pregnant
05 The boys in the mix
06 some weird things to talk about to friends
addendum: the bocpages
whooosh

Their music has no words and all of that extra mumbo-jumbo you are tagging onto it is a figment of your over-analyzation.


I think you're mistaken if you think that the only way meaning can be expressed is when it is expressed through words.

i agree with you but i don't think that's what he meant, i think he meant all the meaning we wind up describing on this forum is from us, which i think is true, it's not from BoC, the raw material we cobble it from is provided by them, but it's not like there's a hidden BoC message that's the same every time we listen, hidden under the surface, that we're all tuning into and reading. it's just art, it's just music, y'know? anyway i'm too drunk and too high to be talking about this.... hahahaa!

Hmm yeah I assume they do take a deep approach to making music, going through all these efforts to put symbols in the music and stuff, but I spose they're first and foremost (amazing) musicians. So it would make sense to think if they can't convey these ideas in their refined art how could they in writing? COUjordanGH

but i WOULD like to see a typical day with BOC and/or have a pint with them.
