Wow, this video is cool. I love Boards of Canada and this video for Everything You Do is a Balloon is fantastic, weird but fantastically so. The video splices in samples from “One Got Fat,” a (1963) bicycle safety movie. I have been a fan of the Scottish music duo, comprised of brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin for several years now. If you haven’t heard of them, take the time to look them up and do yourself a favor and buy one of their albums. They are mellow, but well worth the price of a CD or download.

    Wow, thanks so much for this link. BoC is my favorite, along with Radiohead. Here’s to hoping they release something within the year!

    It’s funny how just changing the soundtrack changed the whole tone of the movie. I saw the “One
    Got Fat” video in its original form on YouTube first about a month or two ago. My only complaint
    is that whoever made this could have diverged a little more from the source video. And @Jake, I like Radiohead, too, especially “Everything in it’s Right Place”.

    “Its right place”. Sorry.
