BARDO POLLND

these fun blown out cover 12" is are great

somehow the 'warm jets' cover makes them sound like a 90s alt group (i mean they are but you know what i mean)

Yes! In a totally good way.

What the, they released a compilation of early EP and non-album tracks last year!

Though looking at the track list, it seems I've heard most of these tunes and only two of them are, IIRC, worthwhile: http://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/refulgo

i dunno, i love Refulgo. best thing might be the epic Sangh Seriatim though

lol wtf we already went over this. xp

~Something~ about this band seems to promote forgetfulness.

don't know what you're talking about.
this hasn't been mentioned though, right? http://thekey.xpn.org/2015/02/04/kss-bardo-pond-underground-arts/

The final part of the covers trilogy is In Every Dream Home a Heart Ache and Music Is the Healing Force of the Universe. In Every Dream... can be listened to here: https://soundcloud.com/firerecords/bardo-pond-in-every-dream/s-FiYIe

I need that little animated gif of the smiley face that goes like :-O and then the mouth gets bigger and bigger until the face is blacked out and the mouth expands to cover the entire universe and suck in all light and matter to express how I feel about that.

Hope they put these out on CD or something because I never found the first two and doubt I'll find the third.

You can probably email them directly!

I mean to get them to collect the covers on CD. (Though I did get a complimentary copy of Cypher Docs 1 when I bought one of their volume CD-Rs, so they're pretty menschy about things.)

3xCD collection of all three RSD EPs coming out at the end of the month! Whooo.

excellent news

Awesome. Now to promptly forget about this news and be surprised by it in September.

Fire site sez that it's out already (6/22), and mine's already on the way.

got mine on order at the brick and mortar, they said 7/21

at first i was not sure about "maggot brain" - i kept wanting the solo to happen, and it didn't, which was frustrating! but it won me over through repetition.

the roxy cover is totally majestic, though

I ordered this at work and it's backordered from the distributor already - I feel like Fire are maybe not the best at shipping on time. Or our distro sucks. Anyway I'm impatient and want it NOW.

I just got a copy of Refulgo ('used'/sealed for $14!), and wow...it totally rules. I was expecting maybe some filler, but it's pretty much all killer. Side 4 is a highlight, but everything on it is scratching my Bardo itch.

Upcoming RSD thing again:

Bardo Pond - Acid Guru Pond     2LP Split Colour Vinyl

And as you might figure from the name, it's a collab with AMT, which, unless I'm mistaken, is the first time they've collabed?

Bardo Pond did collaborate with LSD March for archive records, and they have released at least one record with Tom Carter for Three Lobed.

I meant specifically an AMT/Bardo collab -- weird that they've been in the same circle for years and this might be their first.

I love that LSD Pond record.

Fond memories of Bardo Pond + Kawabata team-up set at Terrastock Louisville

this acid guru pond rules

Why did I wait so long to listen to Acid Guru Pond? This is awesome.

it's so great!

i think my actual favorite bardo pond-related thing is THIRD TROLL; Pharmacognosy is one of the shroomiest things ever recorded

I looooove Third Troll. Did they ever do that on vinyl?

Acid Guru Pond is on Spotify!

bardo pond are playing at a very small venue this weekend two nights in a row -- i am going to miss the first night because richard pinhas is also playing a very small venue but should i make an effort to catch bardo pond?

I've never seen them live. But based on their records - yes!

well yeah i mean i obviously like their records i just wondered what their live show is like

liiiiike are they gonna play pharaoh sanders covers or are they going to play one note for 45 min or all of the above or ?

AFAIK they play stuff from their albums, the weirder skronky stuff is saved for like Third Troll or other side project names.

seriously thinking about driving up to Chicago for the sunday show...that place is really tiny, though? i mean...could be cool, but could be terrible. a recent live set on nyctaper had a mix of recent, new, and old stuff, all of which sounded greeeeeat.

it's definitely small, yeah
also the sat nite show is being billed as Alumbrados?

Alumbrados is going to be skronkier!

I've only seen Bardo Pond once, sadly, but it was a great show. Big oceanic waves of titan hippie groove

i love this band

i kind of forget about how much i love them

Dang, Saturday night in Chicago is going to be a tough one!! I guess I'll figure it out.

under the pines is killer
