eh Speedy Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Sunshine Recorder starts playing over the speaker at Starbucks while i'm looking at the New York Times and sipping my coffee. I blame myself for hearing this as much as i do for making it possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AcrossCanyons Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 why would hearing good music out and about ever be a bad thing? the only time i remember hearing boc out was at a student bar. needless to say i got a brain boner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chassis Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The fact that you care is depressing. Aphex is always in Top Gear, you hear me crying. Get a life, you are not special, your taste in music is not unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest viscosity Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 i've heard them on the radio a couple of times, which is surprising. but usually just quick interludes that last a few seconds until another full length song is played. wish they got real airplay, but they're not exactly mainstream outside their niche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertsk8er419 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I blame myself for hearing this as much as i do for making it possible. almost missed this. damn right! stop going to starbucks, and most of all, stop drinking that shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 In order of fame: Afx>Boc>(who gives a shit) Mostly this. I find BoC is a bit better known to Indie music fans, & Aphex to electronic music fans. Squarepusher seems to attract some people who normally look down on electronic, what with his bass playing & all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capsaicin Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 One time when I was being driven to school, my friend tapped me on the shoulder and said that Aphex Twin just got played on the radio. I didn't hear the song because I was too busy listening to Aphex Twin on my headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Never stepped inside a Starbucks in my life, and don't intend doing so. I guess I am from a different realm. To socialise, me and my cohorts meet down the pub to and drink flagons of ale and eat salted, pig skins. And if BoC came blasting out of the speakers I'd be fucking over the moon! Obviously the issue here is not the music but the setting? If I got a call or a text from my mates to meet down Starbucks I would think they had turned gay and were taking me on a date LoL. Fair enough the birds meet round a house and natter over tea and chocolate biscuits. But Starbucks? Nah. Each to their own though. I guess some of us English still have a vein of neandothol-knuckle-dragging-toothless-savagery that the Romans didn't quite wipe out. And for that I am immensly thankfull.

Guest mafted Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 i mean, it's just coffee. it's actually really good coffee. if you want to have some good coffee, go there to get some good coffee - and then shut the fuck up about everything else. people are fucking weird. claim something is 'elitist' then adapt an elitist attitude against it.. makes perfect sense. i'm thirsty, i think i'll go get a delicious mocha. of course, i'd be a little weirded out if i heard boc playing, but i'd probably end up enjoying the fact that i did. most people won't know what it is anyways, and it will contribute to the slow process of prying open their closed-minded views of electronic music a little further.

Guest mafted Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 right. i'm not a connoisseur, but i know there's always something better with anything, so it doesn't really matter. beer snobs don't have much against you coffee snobs. lol just don't be seen walking in to a starbucks man, you might mess up your image.

beerwolf Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 just don't be seen walking in to a starbucks man, you might mess up your image. My image of a drunken-neandathol-toothless-savage couldn't sink much lower! Perhaps IF I did wander into Starbucks my street-cred will jump up a notch or 2? And if I did sit in Starbucks drinking coffee and BoC came on, I would sit there and think 'hah-hah, proberbly none of you have a clue what this track is'. And I would smugly nod my head in glee. The issue here is not the music it's the venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I doubt the lads wrote a letter in the Old Tounge, deep in the Pentland Hills, by a roaring fire while thunder and lightnig crashed overhead and the Gods crushed the peat bogs and babbling brooks with rain. To the CEO of Starbucks and personally told him to play BoC at one of his venues. Could be wrong though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Starbucks coffee isnt actually very nice. I mean I expected it to really nice because its HUGE. Maybe its because everyone orders a fappawankachino. I just want a black coffee and Starbucks isnt overly nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plisb Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 both aphex and boc (I've also heard squarepusher) is heard every now and then if you watch swedish national television. I barely watch TV but I still hear it from time to time, so, not uncommon at all. It's still good music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Fuck BoC and fuck Aphex anyway, they're not so sacred that they shouldn't be exposed to the great unwashed. That only applies to The Fall and Mr. Bungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
