  Boces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boces is the second album by Mercury Rev, released in 1993.
During the tour (on Lollapalooza) for this album, the band were forced off the stage for being too loud and noisy; according to legend, their soundman was taken away in a headlock.
The video for "Something for Joey" features fl and white images of children in spacesuits juxtaposed with phallic images of rockets, and a bizarre plot involving Mercury Rev playing the song on a spaceship filled with naked women, while Ron Jeremy and another porn star play a sex god and goddess, respectively.

 Sullivan County Democrat: BOCES Vote Coming
Since BOCES officials announced the project and Handler began visiting local boards of education meetings to pitch the project, there’s been a suggestion bandied about that BOCES rent space from the Sullivan West Central School District rather than sinking money into a new structure.
The suggestion has been for BOCES to rent the unused space at the Narrowsburg and Delaware Valley campuses of Sullivan West – after all, both buildings are already approved for instructional use.
As it is, BOCES is asking residents to expend (depending on district) between $13 and $16 per $100,000 of assessed property value in taxes to support its new project, beginning in the 2006-07 school year.
