I thought Fredd's humour was well measured personally.

Backlash is a widely displayed negative reaction to an event, I cannot see that be well intended.

Nihilism is an outlook on the world in both sociological and political avenues, it's not an outlook on wether the Scottish band boards of canada are going to release another album. With respect, it's possible your definitions could be slightly muddled.

Maybe my choice of wording wasn't perfect, but that's because my knowledge of the English lexicon isn't as vast as you native speakers. What I meant was that my will smith meme definitely was a well intended jokingly reply to his rant. I thought that was obvious. It even referenced him as the forum nihilist and me as the boc conjecture freak. Lighten up, all. :D

I see what you mean, I just ended up writing something lengthy this morning. I might not be the 17 year old lexicon of knowledge you think I am. :lol:

Yeah, wasn't intended as a dig. But one thing is for sure, It does get hot occasionally under this forum furnace.

Also in the need for clarification, when I wrote this, it wasn't in reference to your meme or anybody's post really.
Just a general thought I'd been thinking about recently.

Your meme picture was the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Just the perfect image and perfect execution.

I get the whole perspective of Margherita and what they were telling us. And I don't mean to shun them either because sometimes it's hard to believe that BOC will release a new album. After all it's been nearly ten years.

Compare that to all the other IDMers and that really makes you think negative thoughts about BOCs future. Sometimes you think you're simply praising a ghost all the time.

But here's the thing. I'm the opposite. I see BOC returning as one of the only things in the world not related to my actual life to have faith in. The music is that damn great. I revisited a lot of BOCs music recently and guess what? It's still my favorite music ever made. Those guys pioneered the whole hip hop beats to study to genre but turned it into an art.

So you know what? I'll use BOC taking a long time to return as a reason to have faith rather than feel hopeless about it.

Remember how they were said to be at the plant? Think how long ago that was. Eventually it'll have to come out :D

Haha thanks friends. I try to be :D

Contrary to their sometimes bleak personage, BOC are one the most positive artistic institutions out there. They are completely uncompromised with their art and that is a beautiful thing. I truly feel it will be worth the wait for whatever it is.

it simply does not make any logical sense to be pessimistic regarding the future of BoC, when they have repeatedly stated not only their plans to release their old work, but also have always said they have no plans of stopping, and that they're always working on stuff.

there's also, y'know, the music they have continuously released like SxT and the remixes.. lol

with all of this known, yeah i can't really wrap my head around the negativity.

but you do you. it's all good.

WATMM are assholes from what I've read.

Their approach to Boards of Canada seems to be along the lines of seeing themselves as mature adults and seeing members of this forum as young children. I don't really understand the dynamic that they seem to see but I reiterate my point, they are assholes. :)

You either die a Twoismer or live long enough to see yourself become a WATMM user.

They are like my evangelical uncles who collect guns and used to smoke pot, but pot is for hippies/losers so they drink heavily instead.
