Any responsible parent has a job and spends time away from their family to work during the day. In their case, they make music for a living.
I know people who have much tougher careers and can find time to help their kids' grades. It's all part of the job.

I hardly think their occupation is making music. They don't tour, so right there is a huge loss in potential income. They don't release albums every year. I would say the most steady income from their music would be from iTunes and come on, everyone knows you don't make jack on iTunes.

So you would think they have other Jobs.


Or a large inheritance.

Trying to get your kid to do better with their grades while doing drugs and trying to find some good samples about paganism for this track you've been working on don't usually happen simultaneously in someone's life.


Famous Musicians?
If they really wanted to, they could be just as famous as Aphex Twin or Deadmau5. They're already pretty famous for Electronica musicians.

I dunno, I'm sure in the past 6 years they've moved on to other projects and things to do.

I do wonder, since there's no way any of us know for for sure, if they have day jobs.
But then it would seem someone somewhere along the line would report seeing them out and about.
I have no idea.

They could be yes, but they're not doing DJ Hero crap and Soundtracks for Disney like Daft Punk. And not standing around in front of a Mac Book at the MTV Music Awards acting like they are playing an instrument wearing ridiculous headgear like that tool Deadmau5. So till they start doing that horrible shit, I will consider them somewhat low key still and not "Famous" but WELL known in the electronic, IDM network.

Well, the Bleep newsletter today said stay tuned for big news next week so maybe. (It won't be BoC related though I bet).

Shit I didn't even read that....

"Finally but also very importantly, we have some very special announcements next week so please keep your eyes peeled to the newsletters and the store to take advantage. Don't say we didn't warn you!"

Right, I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that this is it. Surely!

Why the mau5 hate?! BoC is a big influence on his music. He may be the Britney Spears of dance music or whatever, but he's got a good n big library.
