Comments[edit]

  • As explained by Boards of Canada: "Olson is the surname of a family we know".[1]
  • Could also be a reference to Melissa Olson. She directed the Dayvan Cowboy and Invocation video.
  • In 1953, a CIA scientist named Frank Olson was given LSD and jumped (or was pushed) to his death from a 10th story window. His wife maintains he was having second thoughts about his work as a biological warfare specialist.
