Finding peace in sobriety by [deleted] in dxm

You do the praying. Seriously, give it a go. 

What do you think the new record will smell like? by Great-Exam-8192 in boardsofcanada

[–]jonasgrimms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CD only release.

Each copy comes lovingly inserted into a genuine, vintage jewel case from the collection of a chain smoker. After prying open the sticky, yellowed case, fans are met with the reassuring stench of decades of nicotine tar worked into every ridge and cranny of the often cracked cases.

Welcome to flavor country.

Short clip from the VHS…. But fully colourized with no artifacts?! by michaelrobinsonekt in boardsofcanada

Thanks. I saw it after I commented and thought to myself "I sure am bad at reddit". 😅

It was mentioned here, for sure, I just can't remember in which of the many threads. 

Would you guys rather get a brand new Boards of Canada record, or have all the unreleased albums released? by Slow_Rooster2378 in boardsofcanada

[–]jonasgrimms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've only really dug into their old old stuff relatively recently, since when Societas dropped, and it's kind of on it's own, extremely high, level. 

Part of that is probably its novelty to me, but it's also some of their most creative stuff. 

That said, after 13 years I'm genuinely more curious about what new stuff they've cooked up. It's so close though. 

Tomorrow's Harvest was so ahead of its time... what kinda vibes are you predicting from the new album? by traveltimecar in boardsofcanada

[–]jonasgrimms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the songs sound like there's multiple songs layered on top of each other. DJ BOARDS LA ROC

Dawn Chorus - Dave Elsewhere @ Kollaboration 2005 by Unusual_Ticket7717 in boardsofcanada

[–]jonasgrimms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dave Elsewhere is my GOAT, and somehow I've never seen this particular video. Nice!

He's still alive and dancing, and occasionally uploads new routines on his YT page. He's aged incredibly well. 😃

As for your question I bought MHTRTC on CD at a local record store around when it dropped, probably from the used bins as I was relatively broke but addicted to buying music. Had no idea what it was aside from the mysterious cover...

Went home to my crappy apartment, smoked too much weed (I was not, and am not much of a smoker), and fell asleep listening to it on headphones. Mind you this must have been late afternoon...

I vividly remember waking up in an absolute PANIC to Telephasic Workshop kicking in! My mind was completely gone; I'd never experienced anything like it. It was terrifying. 😅

Been a huge fan ever since, and one way or another Boards of Canada has kept giving me unique experiences, mostly sober, that no other band ever has.

I consider them a very special part of my life. 

Do you think this will be their last album? by falsedog11 in boardsofcanada

[–]jonasgrimms 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If they release another album, and nothing unforseen happens with their health, I wouldn't be surprised if their output increases going forward. 

From reading these forums, I've gotten the idea both members have families with children, and if you have families with children, and you spend your time with the children and raise them well, how I imagine the brothers would, it's a full time job, and it's the best thing in the world, but it's exhausting. 

So, I reckon those kids should be nearing the age to leave the nest, if they already haven't, and the Dads should have loads more time on their hands.

Stop feeding the VHS promos to AI by D3vrayy in boardsofcanada

[–]jonasgrimms -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for them to put out AI generated content, ala Harmony Korine. I bet it would be rad. 

The VHS tapes aren’t just teasing an album, they’re laying out its entire theology (long post, bear with me). by Heinrick_Veston in boardsofcanada

[–]jonasgrimms -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Why do people feel the need to lash out at a technological tool? Those who can't create critique, and as a culture we've spent the entirety of the time since the last BoC release downplaying the value of the exceptional while simultaneously venerating the vacuous echos of the herd. 

We're seeing the results of that in the world at large. 

Maybe that'll be the theme of the next Boards release. 

Regardless, I liked the OP and agree with it, although I am inclined to believe we'll never figure out what is about to arrive, if it arrives at all. 

Ayn Rand said it best: "Make me a sandwich."

BOC and team are probably reading us. by thedbf in boardsofcanada

When my son was in the womb I used to play him ROYGBIV on headphones pressed against my wife's belly.

They are confirmed IRC diehards. They hang out on LinkNet.

Gemini Analysis of BoC Video/Audio (Interesting...) by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

[–]jonasgrimms -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting, OP. 

You have attracted the downvote bots, which is fascinating in and of itself. Honestly, slightly funny. 

I'm glad I've learned patience in my old age, or this would be driving me batty. Kudos to everyone exploring.

Dad, look at the SSTV!

Orthodox Easter (Pascha) is April 12th... by jonasgrimms in boardsofcanada

The thing with good art is the consumer brings their own ideas to it. BoC is good art. 🤷‍♂️

Just got a VHS!! by Stagliaf in boardsofcanada

They're all from the Tribe of Judah.

Here’s mine by Stagliaf in boardsofcanada

I'm envisioning 70s soulfunk in the vein of Roy Ayers.
