OneToThirtySix Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 She bought me an actual physical copy of the Peel Sessions for my birthday. She doesn't like BoC hardly at all, so she knows practically nothing about what their releases have on them, so she spent six bucks buying a three-track, live mini-album from amazon that she could have downloaded for half the price at the same place. I think I'll keep her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneToThirtySix Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I was a hair's breadth away from not telling her that she could have bought the mp3 album and I wouldn't have minded, but I figured it's better to be honest. I told her that for most of the independent releases or EPs, I don't mind not getting a disc or cover art, so she knows for next time. However, when it comes to a release with ten or more tracks on it, I DO want the disc for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneToThirtySix Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 She doesn't like BoC hardly at all, what the fuck Some people don't like it. She likes lyrics, and mostly pop artists with radio hits. She, um, also said that listening to BoC is like having someone try to sneak into your brain, and she doesn't like that either, and knowing that they've played around with subliminal audio doesn't help that opinion much. I didn't marry her for her taste in music, but she knows that BoC is something I hold in high regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I used to think along those lines, but I realise now I know next to noone irl with particularly similar taste to mine. In terms of women, similar tastes in music is now very low on the agenda. Gotta be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Don't get me wrong, that's still really important for me too. At the same time though I've dropped my standards. I wasn't suggesting you weren't being realistic, just that I have to be with myself as I' get older and based on my circumstances and people I know, if you know what I mean?

OneToThirtySix Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 funny to say that BoC music "creeps into your head". No, not "the music creeps into your head", she described it as feeling like someone was trying to get into her brain. She sounds like an awesome lady if she got that for you on her own though She is. lol I wasn't serious man that said I'm not sure if I could marry someone who didn't have similar music taste, or at least a similar appreciation of music. She likes music, and I've turned her on to Bibio (which I think is incidental, since she loves Iron & Wine, and both of them have similar elements), but she puts more stock in lyric than I do now.

Guest Calx Sherbet Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 i quite like lyrics also, but i never really care what they mean. i just like knowing them and memorising them. . i find that description of heading creeping fascinating, that's so....weird. but it makes sense. mostly for geogaddi(i think this is their strangest work), but other stuff? what BoC tunes was she referring to?

None in particular, just the general sense. She tolerates The Campfire Headphase, since it has the most accessible sound I think, and is much less densely layered. Music Has... and Geogaddi are where she usually brings it up. She usually sighs a little bit and changes the track on the mp3 player if I start one of those albums.

OneToThirtySix Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Okay, I don't want to have to make a separate thread about this, so does anyone know where the new vocal samples in Aquarius (Version 3) are from (the vocalizing in the background before 3 minutes, and the "I'm listening" sample after 3 minutes)?

Guest Spittal Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 My girlfriend doesn't really like BoC... but what she really hates is when I try to play it at parties and every one just is like "What the fuck? where did the Kanye West go!?!?!?! All I hear is noise!" I've really gotta stop trying to play my music at parties. P.s. I was playing Left 4 Dead 2 yesterday, and some one had the Trans Canada Highway cover as their display picture, I commented on it saying I loved BoC... Then I got kicked from the game.

You forgot to add, "through her black lipstick as her muscular, tattooed forearm twisted the handle behind a skull that served as a knuckle guard on her lowrider motorcycle, and she sped away while her hair, black as the deadliest night, lashed viciously at the leather vest on her back."
