released early march 2008. batholith is a collection of six tracks that are near and dear to bardo pond but, for some reason or another, have never previously been released. that one-sentence description might lead one to think that these tracks are "outtakes" or cutting-room floor type material - neither conclusion could be further from the truth. the tracks included on batholith range from previous live staples ("a tune," one made 'famous' by opening bardo's set at terrastock II in san francisco as joined by roy montgomery [and a recording of which was featured on the KFJC compilation live from the devil's triangle, volume 2]) to tracks the band recorded in john peel sessions ("slip away", also available here as a downloadable .mp3 preview). collected as a whole, these tracks form a fluid and cohesive album. batholith is not just an exciting moment for long time bardo pond fans, but a great jumping on point for folks who are relatively new to their craft.

Do you have any sort of listening system to determine what you listen to next or is it all at your whim?

Last night:

 

4/5
Weakest of the dedications, but still pretty damn good.

Agreed, though I wouldn't rank it as high.

viewtiful, do you know the rapper "Drake"? It's the token black character "Jimmy" from Degrassi and lil' wayne signed him. He's worth checking out.

Yeah I do know Drake and I'm deffinitley gonna be keeping an eye on him, he is quite good, easily one of the better Young Money artists.
This morning:

 

4/5
Yeah I know its kind of stupid and mainstream, but damn this is a really good rap album. This and Paper trail are kind of tied for my 2nd favorite hip hop albums of 2008

Eh it really goes between 3.5 and 4 for me.. but I dont like to use ratings like 3.75 (which I guess is what it is)

Right now (on vinyl):

 

4.5/5 Classic

Nice. I need to pick that one up next time I wind up seeing it.. hell I need to remember to look for it when at the record stores.
I just have Rocket rocket usa and a live version of Keep your dreams. Both on comps.

5/5

Ah, I just go through my collection alphabetically so as to make sure everything gets listened to... yeah I know its kind of odd but I do just pull things out that I want to hear, and I'm a fan of equal opportunity for my music, which is why I have my entire cd collection on my ipod and listen to it on shuffle, I rediscover or discover a lot of great songs that way that might have gotten lost in an album or comp when listened to in its entirety.

Luda is kind of stupid and mainstream, but he's always entertaining. Can't help but like him.
