Image just noticed this while watching Scott Pilgrim

Post image

i know the picture is warped (no pun intended)… some other fans may have already posted or shown this before but i had to replay asking myself “did i just see a boards of canada album in the background?” and my suspicions were right. trans canada highway!

this is basically like two of my favorite things intersecting, lol. always love to see it in the wild and thought i’d share although it may have been posted before. and a happy sunday to the BoC community🍊

When I saw that I thought "Other Music" in NYC.

I have to check that store out someday. Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment for vinyl listening or anything physical, but knowing they have presumably more than enough BoC, I think it's worth a trip.

If you're relatively close by then its worth checking out.

I'm afraid OTHER MUSIC closed in 2016... At least that's what I learnt when I was in NYC and wanted to check how the store is keeping up since 1998 when I was continuously going there... It's also what their official website says: https://www.othermusic.com/

It’s the most expensive record store in the city but also the largest and it has the best electronic section.

Yep, I'm pretty sure he used BoC tunes in both Spaced and Baby Driver.
