BARDO POLLND

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

More of the same, yes? (Would totally be down with that, btw.)

yeah except no super-long jams

it's the closest thing to a pop album they've ever released, and it totally works

I think it's great though I must admit I never heard the last couple

the 'acid guru temple' thing from last year is worth your time

Oh yeah, that's a jam, thanks for reminding me to buy it though!

Listening to the new on Spotify -- I swear I've seen "Crossover" on an old compilation or EP.

"Crossover" appeared in set-lists in early 2016. Any earlier?

Listened to Under the Pines again and I'm not feeling it. HOWEVER, Curanderos (I guess an EP?) is exactly my kind of jam.

curanderos is really good

yeah it is. took me way too long to listen but now oh man

there is a god
