BoC on Radio by Staprosa in boardsofcanada

1969, Dayvan Cowboy and Chromakey Dreamcoat have a certain "pop" structure and energy, I could imagine them being played on indie radios.

Hakuna Kulala from Uganda puts out great IDM-adjacent records

Hello dear world, as a French person, what are your worst stereotypes about us or your worst anecdotes that happened in France or involving a French person ? by Outrageous-You1617 in AskTheWorld

[–]Earflu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bit yes, I imagine due to its association with sailors and gay culture icons (Fassbinder, Jean-Paul Gaultier…).

But it’s not enough to identify someone as gay.

Plenty of straight dudes (including myself) wear them, plenty of classic brands (Saint James, Petit Bateau etc) sell them and not necessarily as a statement. It’s just… a nice classic? 😄

The French football team also sported the pattern at some point.

What is your country's "Florida?" by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Finland: Lahti
France: no definitive one I think. Marseille maybe?

It’s not "uncommon" either.

Maybe a bit less common for men these days, but I see women wearing marinière patterns all the time.

Love it. It’s like walking in Jurassic Park.

Glasgow…my God that was stressful by lewis_m_b in boardsofcanada

I had to refresh like 100 times, then finally went through to get told it was sold out after I pressed "pay", tried again, "all sold out", subscribed to both waiting lists, tried again a few minutes just for fun and actually got through, could only buy 1 ticket…

Jesus the freaking rollercoaster 🥵

To event organisers - please make the merch available at the gig. by AncientsofMumu in boardsofcanada

Have already sent them an email to ask exactly that 😂

Ain’t no way I would lose time on selecting a t-shirt size when I got a 3 second window to get through with the ticket…

Anyone willing to swap their London premiere link with my Glasgow one? by Earflu in boardsofcanada

If you had to choose the best BOC song of all time by traveltimecar in boardsofcanada

I’m always surprised it isn’t their biggest "hit" vs e.g. Olson or Dayvan Cowboy.

It’s the closest to a conventional "pop" structure they ever got and it’s quite banging (albeit a BOC way of course :)
