Fans of Boards of Canada do things that, for example, a fan of The Sea and Cake or Rocío Jurado would never do. Before "The campfire headphase" was released, up to three different versions were circulating on Soulseek, and all three were fakes, put out by imitative fans who, taking advantage of the situation and the minimal information available about the release - the number of tracks, and the titles - uploaded their music to the Internet to pass themselves off as the real Boards of Canada. {{boc|A friend of mine from New Zealand sent me an email,}} relates '''Marcus''', {{boc|and he said to me 'I listened to your new release on the Internet and it's great! I was baffled. I hadn't sent it out yet!}} There are also fans who make up reviews, like the one who runs the Angryrobot blog, who published a track-by-track rundown of the totally made-up record, to which others fans responded with their posts to lift the lid on the situation, and even a Marcus Eoin impersonator who told Angryrobot face to face that his review was a lie. {{boc|But it wasn't me,}} insists '''Marcus'''. {{boc|They didn't just fake our records, but our identities as well!}} Many fans of Boards of Canada are firmly convinced that there was a Maxi single from 2002 called "[[Lavender Trapezoids EP|Lavender trapezoids]]", but what is going around on Soulseek is in fact an EP by the English IDM producer CiM. And so on, ad infinitum. But if anything shows that the most extreme fans of Boards of Canada are out of their minds, it's the prices that they can bring themselves to pay for some of their records. Two months ago a single-sided blue-vinyl test pressing with four songs from "Geogaddi" was auctioned on eBay. It was listed there by a certain 'amtiskaw' and it was bought for £215 (about 315 Euros) by someone calling themselves 'lenapiem' . {{boc|We know 'amtiskaw', he's a former employee of Warp who left the job and is now starting up a business, he needs the money and that's why he's selling off these rare records. But he isn't the problem,}} says '''Michael Sandison''' with laughter. {{boc|The problem is the idiot who pays over £200 for a hunk of blue plastic.}} The kind who, not so long ago, and without the slightest qualm, paid £70 for the first Maxi by Jega, and £120 for the first one by Bola, both released on Skam, the label on which Boards of Canada came to be known after being signed up by Autechre. Yes, some fans are horrible, or have wads of cash to spare. Or Boards of Canada are so great that you just can't help but be driven crazy by them.
