Dragon Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 According to the BBC website, the track "Happy Cycling" on the Peel Session/MHTRTC was originally called "Bad Day". Either they made a mistake, or they changed the name of the track for some reason. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/sessi...boardsofcanada/ They already made a track called "Happy Cycling", and "Bad Day" kinda fits the song as well.....

Guest konnan Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I'm not so sure. Your theory could be right. BoC could also have announced a tracklist to the BBC before they did the show with Bad Day in it. Then later on they changed the tracklist and put in Happy Cycling instead.

Guest Moebius Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I agree, sounds more like they changed their original playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Actually, that does make sense. Also, they've probably done a LOT of tracks we haven't heard (the OT tapes are the tip of the iceberg...) so chances are they would've given a track the same name as an earlier track at some point...

qnio Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 bad day -> happy cycling lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest all_purpose_sandpaper Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I agree, sounds more like they changed their original playlist. this makes me wonder about this Bad Day track. If it was so very finished, might it have been released under another name? what about Happy Cylcing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Happy Cycling certainly sounds like a bad day. You're on a cycling trip, you don't know how to ride, and even the seagulls are laughing at you. The original sounds more like a little mix-up before "House Of Abin'adab" gets you drowning like a hen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 the voice sound is one of the best samples/ best placed/sounding i think. i think it says "object", but whatever it says it's awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CATS Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 so is someone gonna hook it up with 'bad day'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moebius Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I can't help but wonder what other little odds and ends of BoC's visit with John Peel are tucked away in the BBC archives somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 The BBC have everything, and I mean EVERYTHING archived. Even your mom's diary. Hopefully, Chris Morris's project on "that suicide bombers thing" will include something by BoC that we haven't heard yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fox Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 if anyone had it it'd be freely available all over the place like the Old Tunes tapes. that it isn't means that none willing to share has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40days Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 if anyone had it it'd be freely available all over the place like the Old Tunes tapes. that it isn't means that none willing to share has it. That's pretty flawed logic. I did find a few links from like last year but they had all expired. Granted though that I didn't find a single threat that would verify it's not a fake. Still, how many of even the most die-hard BOC fans know about the existence of this track? I don't know if I'd call myself a die-hard one, but I think I've got every single legit thing they have except for this one, whose existence dawned on me some days ago.

40days Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Just to elaborate, I'm referring to what was broadcast when the Peel session aired. Not the Old Tunes version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Just to elaborate, I'm referring to what was broadcast when the Peel session aired. Not the Old Tunes version. It's Happy Cycling. It's always been that (to our knowledge). That 'bad day' track name is probably like the track names given to the Autechre Peel Session (#2) tracks before they had official names...

40days Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ah alright. It's this bit at bocpages that intrigued me: The version of Happy Cycling that we see on this release is not the same as what was actually broadcast, here we find the polished version that also appears as an extra track on Music Has The Right To Children and the broadcast version formerly known as Bad Day being dropped.
