How many bands on the Nurse With Wound List have you actually heard?

with so many blogs out there getting these records available, im surprised numbers arent higher

Not as many saddoes out there as I thought obviously

with so many blogs out there getting these records available, im surprised numbers arent higher

That's because most of these records are nothing more than conversation pieces for noise kids.

In a bad way?

I wanna hear the Hairy Chapter albums.

43. Just when I thought I was running out of things to download...

'bout 70, or samthung.

Huh - only 59 for me and I'm not so sure that's a bad thing - there's some just plain god-awful racket in about ten of those 59, so I can only assume the same would 1/6th rule would be true for rest of list.

(I understand what you mean, QN. I'm just playing devil's advocate. I was just thinking it wouldn't be a bad thing if the word noise was subtracted from your statement.)

I think a much more interesting poll would be how many of these people could you include on a compilation, and then the winner would actually make the comp.

I wanna hear the Hairy Chapter albums.

Mutant Sounds = NWW List Turbo Edition

Gave up on that place after a while

as conversation, every record ive heard has been great. as what i actually put on less than half would find their way from the stack.

hmmm perhaps i should do a nww mix later tonight...will post if done...then we can play the is that ghedahlia tazartes at 22 minutes game. will also force me to listen to a lot of this again and perhaps delete a few more

I can verify that I have owned records by 67 of the folks on that list. How many I have heard, I dunno.

I haven't downloaded that much of it at all. In fact, I have no idea how much stuff is listed there in total. Seems enormous. And maybe I'm giving it more credit than it's due. It just seems like anytime I see discover something obscure looking and interesting and old in the store or on eBay, it's already posted there. All of 'em! But maybe some of it is obscure and unremarkable, rather than obscure and unmissable.

xpost re Mutant Sounds

Around 60. I'd heard of this list, but never bothered to look it up before. So, thanks!

70

21, and what's sad is that I thought this would be average...

I come in somewhere between 65 and 70. (I was scrolling fast.)

(I understand what you mean, QN. I'm just playing devil's advocate. I was just thinking it wouldn't be a bad thing if the word noise was subtracted from your statement.)

The reason why I poked fun at the noise kids is because I've heard so many rave about this 'n' that rare record on the NWW list. Then they give me their latest cassette, and it sounds like the last cassette I was given -- pure static! What I dig about this list is its diversity in sound. Sure, a lot of it is uber-obscure, but it's all over the map, sonically.

179. and not one of them wasn't worth the time/effort.

can we pick favorites? I will rep for DEBRIS STATIC DISPOSAL

digital reissue w/ sound clips:
http://www.anthologyrecordings.com/release.asp?album=vJhj3ZB2IzM

That might be mine, too!

70 or so.

hmm, I got 118. and that's without a couple that are probably slam dunks for most (I don't think I've ever heard Cabaret Voltaire, for example.)

and I don't think I ever sought out any of these records simply for being on the list. it's usually due to obsessive interest in a number of different specialist areas (Thud Rock, euro-improv, Krautrock, 20th century composition, etc)

heard: 70
enjoy: 40-ish

Damn, I've got some hunting to do. I'm only at 32.

130

i have records by 96 of them. i also never noticed negativland were on the list before. i didn't know they existed then!

can we pick favorites? I will rep for DEBRIS STATIC DISPOSAL
Yeah, I love that, too. But if there's one that I'm going to single out, it's gotta be Algarnas Tradgard.

THE FUTURE IS A HOVERING SHIP, ANCHORED IN THE PRESENT.
(same artist as the one who did Bo Hansson's first two records, he was in the band, too)

About 56-58 of those folks are currently represented by at least one LP in the collection; I've gotten rid of probably a dozen more.

Static Disposal love seconded!

this brings up an interesting question, how hasn't there been a compilation with a track from each of these groups so that everyone can say they've heard everything? Even the difficult to license stuff could probably have a track had from a release.

Fifty, though that's largely down to the collection of one particular friend.

Actually on my iPod and in legitimate rotation:

Mythos
Can
PIL
Stooges
Tangerine Dream
Velvet Underground

I've never heard Nurse With Wound!

perhaps we should do a wee little comp of our own, xpost

I love that he listed "Henty Cow" (sic).

Anopheles are doing a second Static Disposal LP reissue soon, I believe. Not clear vinyl this time, but I missed out before, so I'll definitely be picking one up this time.

I came up with about 70 as well.

I do remember now that Wayside Music has smartly added a NWW list subcategory to their online catalog. But ya, I'm definitely curious to try to put something together for a one-track per name comp.

okay i did the full count. 61

if we are picking faves then i gotta give my obligatory shout-out to the greatest krautrock album ever made by former members of paul revere and the raiders in california in 1969. MUSIQUE! CONCRETE!

(also vinyl reissues are cheap and easy to come by and you need it yesterday if you don't own a copy)

STORMY HAS NEVER HEARD TEH CABS???? OH BEHAVE!

I'm putting that on my list for sure, Scott.

FRIEND SOUND RULES.

I want to hunt down some magma on youtube but all I did was go down memory lane with the Dead C. what are you going to do!

I've heard around 100 of these and they're among my favorite artists/records of all time. I should really check out the rest.

Nurse With Wound is one of those artists I like more for the idea behind instead of the music. I think I'd enjoy more talking and geeking out to this albums with him instead of listening to his music. Also the name of the band is top 10 band names of all time for me.

Reminds me of a famous mexican poem (cant remember the poet) about a drunk neurosurgeon with a blade in his hand.

Hadn't counted the number of artists I've definitely listened to on there before and I think it's 175 and I have soundfiles and cds by a load of those..

I'm not that familiar with Stapleton's work and should have caught up with that much better than I have. I met him at an art college exhibition here in Galway back around 11 years ago. He lives in the Burren down in the next county down the Irish coast, or certainly did for years.

I liked the 2cd sampler that Sanctuary put out of his work with a lot of edited tracks on, Living Fear of James Last. I don't know how good an intro to his work it makes though

I want to hunt down some magma on youtube but all I did was go down memory lane with the Dead C. what are you going to do!

I was listening to Magma's "Udu Wudu" album on Youtube a few days ago. Surprisingly funky!

attahk is even funkier than udu wudu!

there used to be a super-great clip of the '75 band rehearsing theusz hamtaahk that i was going to link to but it looks like it's gone now. :( so here, take this classic appearance from a 1972 french comedy:

I think I'm on 54 now, which is 11 more than last time, 11 years ago. so by the time I'm 280 years old I'll have heard the whole list!

57. Can't say I'm curious enough to check all of them out though.

How many of them are actually any good is the real question.

Just checked, and I'd heard 99 eleven years ago LOL. Not sure I've added much beyond that.

Depends on your tolerance to practical jokes.

xp

just going through the list, hurrah I've finally found a use for that click counter I bought for no good reason. Never listened to Dubuffet, have seen his work tho.

60

oops 61, thought I hadn't heard any of the D's despite owning a DAF album or 2 in the 80's.

About 50 I think, and about 10 new to me in the last 10 years. One of them being Catherine Ribiero + Alpes, who've moved near the top of my alltime favorites, so I should keep digging.

Just checked, I'm up to 176. I need to get out more.

wow I counted exactly 100

Conservatively, 59

38 that i can definitively say i have heard and know what they sound like

The List goes mainstream:

It is about beginnings for Stapleton in another way, too – he has inadvertently played a long game in record collecting, and is now using the proceeds from selling his rare vinyl to build a house in Clare, Ireland, “near the Father Ted house”.

“I have maybe 1,000 albums left, but most of the rare ones are gone,” he says. “I could not believe the prices of some of them.”

Didn't know he really sold off most of his records!

How many Chilean avant-garde noseflute LPs does one man need?

At least five tbh.

Good article! The band that only recorded one song was Sphinx Tush (though there are two different versions of that song). I also appreciated Allan acknowledging that the list is not some comprehensive chronicle of the underground but is honestly fairly limited in scope.

My main hope is that Finders Keepers will somehow finagle the rights for a legit reissue of the Don Bradshaw-Leather LP. I love that record, but the pressing was apparently not very good, and all the online copies floating about sound extremely bad.

NWW That's What I Call Music! If only

"the Don Bradshaw-Leather LP"

The back cover of the album looks like a low-budget community theatre reworking of Zardoz - if only it had been the front cover. But the music is better than I expected, like early Tangerine Dream. And now Youtube's sidebar has me.
