I saw Boards of Canada at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
This is fake, the real Boards of Canada love electrical infetterence.
I think Boards of Canada is a pretty cool guy. Eh likes electrical infetterence and doesn’t afraid of anything
Is this a copypasta or was that just off the cuff lmao
This is true, I was there.
Want to say I’ve seen this on reddit years ago and it was a different celebrity mentioned.
Honestly we’d probably be better off if this was true, plus we get rid of florida? No brainer
“Folks, have you heard this? There’s this big, gorgeous EP, they call it In a Beautiful Place Out In The Country. The Woke Democrats say it samples a Branch Davidian recruitment tape, but I don’t know folks…”
God damn I love that OP so much.
Music has the right to children. Bigly.
Do I like Tim Hortons now?
You missed the boat, they suck now.
Always have
Maybe I was wrong about this guy. Maybe he’s actually pretty chill.
Trump listens to Boards of Canada once and becomes a good person
Trump has the right to BoC.
Actually wish this was real lmao
No, we Canadians don’t want America, specially the red part. Well, maybe Alaska. That part is OK, they have king crab.
Ikr, who doesn’t love King Crab?
Boards of Canada kick fucking ass. That much is true.
Yeah, but they aren’t Canadian.
Nope, Scottish.
I’m still pretty sure that Trump caught Trudeau in bed with Melania and Ivanka.
Ivanka definitely looks at Trudeau with hungry eyes.
She’s definitely daydreaming in the second one.
Yeah she wrecked that seat for sure.
Regardless of if this is real or not, “he” types just like he speaks. I read that in trumps voice in my head.
I prefer múm, but BOC is pretty good too.
Is this real or fake? I can’t tell
I also, unironically, couldn’t tell. That’s not a great sign, when you look at gibberish like that and your first thought is “that… genuinely could be him…”. Then you come to the comment section, and you’re still not sure, because everyone else was unsure too.
Trump’s paradox
LLM have come such a long way. They can mimick that cum sock perfectly and it only costs like a swimming pool of water and electricity to run a small Swiss village in the alps.
Way too long
I thought it was real until the part where he gives away the US to Canada and Greenland. Had that not been in there I would’ve fallen for it
It is never FAKE EVER, AS USUAL.
The fact that there is a possibility that this is real and not Satire tells a lot about american society
i imagine every capital word hes just screaming it and its not him its the guy that plays him from snl and then i reamber theres a chance this is real and i just get sad
Can we talk about Boards of Canada for a sec? Such surreal music. It has a special place in my mind.
Some of my all-time favorite music. They are a massive influence in my taste in music…It had never occurred to me that nostalgia could be induced by ‘foreign’ (unfamiliar may be the better word) music, and for a place/time that may never have even existed or may be misremembered or jumbled with other memories. It’s strange what music can do, how it can make you feel, think, see… They also showed me how ominous electronic music can sound, how much of a landscape can be painted with sound. I love all their albums, and getting to experience the release of Tomorrow’s Harvest was a treat.
This is the second time I’ve seen BoC pop up in the past
2 daysday (edit, lol). I swear, the one good thing that’s come about in the past couple years has been this place. Thank you all for being here and participating!Same here. They stir things up in me. Timeless amazing music.
Elder Scrolls soundtrack are also special to me, in some similar and some different ways.
I just revisited their discography yesterday. They’re not usually my favourite type of music, but they have something special going on. Nothing else hits the spot when I’m in a BOC mood which happens pretty often. The pitched vocal sample in Music is Math that goes “eeeeee-onnnnngh” just appears in my head randomly all the time, and same with the one that says “the past inside the present”. They’re masterful with their use of samples.
I recently came across this video of ixi listening to Geogaddi for the first time and breaking it down. It was a pleasure to see someone’s first reaction and with such a depth of music knowledge. Worth a watch imo - https://youtu.be/rQTPgDT1L14
