Surviving The Recession With Boytech
April 9th, 2009
by Sarah Taylor
Sadly the Recession is upon us and most of us are beginning to feel (or at least hear about) belts being tightened across the country. Since I definitely use musical therapy in the face of economic crisis and Toronto’s favourite electro-sleaze/pop band BoyTech seem to enjoy a somewhat minimalist existence, I though I’d ask them to give us their top ten tips for surviving an economic drought. I was expecting some humour here, and I’ll remind you that these words definitely don’t represent The NewMusic…..although we enjoyed them.
How to live cheaper, smarter, and happier….by BoyTech
1 - Steal. As much of anything as possible.
2 - Cook your own meals. Absolute no dinning out unless someone else is paying.
3 - Bike or run. Fuck cars and the TTC.
4 - Sleep around. Ditch your apartment and let the nurturing instinct of women take over.
5 - Pull clothes. Pretend you’re a stylist shooting a music video and just never bring them back.
6 - Cary your own tea bags. When your rich friends want to go to Starbucks, you can go too.
7 - Take advantage of rich people with low self-esteem.
8 - Chapters. You can stay inside reading and avoid the harsh elements as long as you want and they will never ask you to leave. Combine with tip 6 and you can have a nice leisurely afternoon.
9 - Experience the four seasons first hand by living in the park.
10 - Stop using condoms. They cost money and dull the sensation.

These guys are so fucking cool! I saw them play circa then kick the shit out of a group of neo nazi’s in the parking lot. I love men like that!
