I see you there
your long black hair
your eyes just stare
your mind is turning

you know I'll laugh
and I won't take it back
I've seen your eyes I know
what your thinking

and one by one
we'll shoot our guns
we'll have fun
don't ever doubt it

and when I say
fare thee well
my only friend
oh how the days go

your setting sun
your broken drum
your little drugs

I'll never forget you
never
forget
you

Hope this can get played some time. It has two of my favorite artists in one song and I love it all - the backwards guitar, the drums, the classic BoC sound.

More Boards of Canada might be in order.

But somebody else will have to upload it.  Done with uploading exotic material.

Bill;

You play a little too much Beck for my taste, but it is your station. Otherwise you are OK in my book.

Wait, it's that talentless guy... I love Beck and hate Kayne!
Posted 9 years ago by leathepea    [ Reply ]
I've probably said this before, but this is the best track (BY FAR) off Guerolito!!!

When, if ever, are Boards of Canada gonna do some more gorgeous remixes of pop songs? :(

Never. They're too weird (and good) and they don't have any marketability to speak of (note they don't have a lead singer, nor do they usually use one).
 
Are they mainstream yet?  Seems like all my friends know who they are, but I do have some odd friends...

Wonderfully weird.
Posted 13 years ago by KurtfromLaQuinta    [ Reply ]
Fantastic sound quality on this one: the clarity and sound-stage seemed to jump out a bit more than in the songs leading up to this one, and I've been on the default browser/flash mp3 stream which is 128Kbps I assume. Must have been produced and mastered well...

As a side note: a good song! :)

This particular track is available on the "deluxe" version of Guero, in addition to Guerolito.

Finally get to hear this! Good remix, great groove. Now if only we could have more "native" BoC tracks in the library. (There's just Aquarius.) Hopefully my two LRC uploads from The Campfire Headphase will make it to the main channel.

Wow. Beck should have Boards of Canada remix his entire catalog. I like this better than anything else he's done.

Guerolito is the Album. It's a collection of remixes from Guero. In my humble opinion, Boards of Canada is a highlight along with tracks from Air and Diplo.
It's also on the Limited Edition version of Guero that has the extra songs and the DVD.

Nice thought. Beck Hansen is one of the more intelligent & versatile pop artists around.

Maybe they heard it prior to it being played here. Plus, this version made the rounds in the LRC for awhile.
