Obscurantist collecting: Search & Destroy

It's pretty funny how everybody temper their answers with "it's not very obscure, I know" for fear of getting stomped on by other obscurantists.

Has anybody heard the Nihilist Spasm Band? I love those guys. The AGO had a retrospective exhibition of Greg Curnoe which I thought was fantastic.

'kozmonautz', a group consisting of key kool and dj rhettmatic, who released one self- titled in 1995 which nobody has ever heard of this record and is totally fantastic. a posse cut with ras kass (damn!) and a social conciousness track about japanese internment camps ('reconcentrated') top off some the best shit, but really it's all good. it's really one of the first underground albums of the late 90s to already be focused on the early 90s, complete with references to de la (who wish the japanese mcs on 'long island wildin' had shit like this), ice cube, and leaders of the new school.the single was 'can u hear it', which is a nice catchy summer jam about people who don't care about lyrics, people who say every joint is wack, and other bitch-ass haters. a slept- on classic.

er, 'which nobody has ever heard of and is fantastic'. i hate when when you restructure a sentence on the fly and accidentally leave part of the original. damn.

Best records that no-one's heard of but I have: my ones.

Best records that no-one's heard of, including me: I don't know. I haven't heard of them.

Other obscure records I fondly own:

1. Massey-Ferguson tractors

2. Bernard Cribbins on Hornby trains

3. Tizer 1987

aah, but Mr. Pinefox sir, I own a tape of Noel Edmonds on Hornby trains - surely this is more obscurantist in a way, as it features who for many people is the devil incarnate?

Anything by Eyeball Hurt and the Medicine, or Gigvest.

The Beatles' "White Album." Apparently pretty obscure to some members of this group! (Busy wiping the grin--or is it a grimace?-- off my face... )

Re: Der Plan: The albums are quite unlistenable, but they have their moments. A friend of mine taped me a "best of" some time ago and it was good, lots of humor on it.

Love a bit of Terry Allen (him of the Pan handle band fame) but not sure how much i really value my battered copy of his work backed by a a vietnamese gamelan orchestra
