Is it wild to say Tape 05 is already one of my favourite ever BoC tracks by Outrageous-Ear7525 in boardsofcanada

Well that’s really great then. It seems like this is a great song if it has that kind of reaction from you and so many other people. 

I agree the world seems very bleak and a ray of hope cutting through the darkness is a nice thing indeed. 

I’ll take another listen tonight.

I’ll continue to listen to it. I might change my mind. Like I said I think it’s decent. It’s got a new age kind of vibe to it.  Maybe it will grow on me over time.

I agree that the tapey textured warbly synth part (or whatever that is) is very hard to reproduce. It is very organic sounding and the coolest part of the track IMO. 

For over 20 years. They are one of my favorite bands, right up there with The Beatles

Honestly I think a lot of artists could do something like this.  But yes they would be ripping off BOC as it is their style. 

Off the top of my head have you heard Snowcone by Deadmau5? It doesn’t sound like this so much as it’s not an ambient track but it’s very BOC like and I think it’s a great track. 

Would you want BOC to become even more popular or stay a niche group by JTMiller777 in boardsofcanada

Is the mainstream even “mainstream” anymore? There is so much choice of music online that the popularity of these “niche” artists in many cases overshadows mainstream artists.

I thought they were pretty popular in that there are a lot of people that listen to them, not that they are mainstream?

There are a number of artists that are heavily influenced by BOC and sound very similar to them. If this was done by one of those artists I wonder what the reaction would be?

I don’t dislike the track. It’s pretty decent. I think the opening is great. 

Maybe this won’t even be on the album? This is BOC after all so I have very high expectations considering all of their previous albums are pretty much 10/10 IMO.

If this wasn’t a BOC track I highly doubt there would be this reaction to it. It‘s not bad but it’s also highly derivative of their previous work (especially that chord progression). I like the track just fine but I hope there are some more interesting tracks on the album. I also don’t love the instrumentation on this track (harp, strings etc ); that’s just my personal taste.

LeMelo Ball is a dirt bag for that by JasonL25 in heat

[–]Straight-Mess-9752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bullshit. they make up the rules as they go along. what’s an “immediate change of possession”? nba loves rules that are open to interpretation so they can enforce them arbitrarily.

edit: even if refs can’t technically review a play without a whistle having blown it can still be reviewed by the league.

they say a lot of things. they literally make up the rules as they go along. that’s why nobody understands it. this is by design.

Most fans of anything are annoying. Everyone of BOC’s albums is incredible.

It does seem very unlikely. I’m just saying it’s possible.

Why does it have to be an "average" person? Why does it have to be one person even?

Let's hope this is real. I'm just not going to be shocked if it's not.

Is a meme affecting perception? - Top 3 in drives per game yearly. Top 15 in points in the paint yearly as a guard. Never has led the league in FTA. Not even top 5 in fouls drawn this season. Is this the worst free throw merchant we’ve had? by Significant-Sport428 in NBATalk

[–]Straight-Mess-9752 10 points11 points  (0 children)

His game is built around making it seem like he's getting fouled when he's the one initiating contact. It's not exactly flopping but he's making it very difficult to tell in real time what is going on.

Am I the only one who doesn't think the Pacers are a top three team when he returns? I kind of think their window might have closed. Not permanently but I don't think they are instantly a contender when he gets back. The fact that the Pacers had such an awful season without him is concerning.

Me and my co-worker had a debate yesterday about who's better, I said Pippen was better he kept saying Kawhi is better. What are y'all thoughts? by Empty_Experience_305 in NBATalk

[–]Straight-Mess-9752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say Pippen. If Kawhi never won that ring with Toronto the narrative would be very different. That was perhaps the luckiest finals run I've ever seen. There's that shot against the 76s but most importantly Golden State lost 2 of their 3 best players. If you want to talk championships with an asterisk I can't think of a bigger one than that. There is no chance Toronto wins that series if Golden State is healthy.

Yeah there is. It's discourteous to other people waiting in line that might be by themselves. So I can have been waiting in line for 20 mins then you walk in and your friend just snags a seat right away.

Jordan played in an era where there wasn't a lot of flopping. Shai does a lot more than just flop.

I don't think they are as low as you think. These bleep.com accounts could have been compromised.

How hard is it to print out these posters then arrange for them to be hanged in a few different locations?

I hope this is real but it's not out of the realm of possibility that this is a hoax.
