So, here's my relatively pointless new project: http://nwwlist.wordpress.com/ - http://nwwlist.wordpress.com/ It's explained here: http://nwwlist.wordpress.com/about/ - http://nwwlist.wordpress.com/about/ Updates are likely to be somewhat sporadic, as I'm juggling way too many balls as it is, but once I got the idea for this blog into my head I knew I wouldn't get it out again until I had a bash at it. Enjoy! |

Interesting idea, Dave.
I'll be looking forward for your reviews. ------------- Les mains, les pieds balancés Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers, Un marin mort, Il dormira - Paul Éluard |

Thanks guys! I hope it'll be useful. The NWW list is a fascinating but treacherous beast. It can point you in the direction of some incredible forgotten music, but it can be a pain to know where to start, especially as it doesn't even indicate specific albums! Really, I'm surprised no one's done something like this before. |

You're gonna lose your sanity indeed. Be prepared for the strangest musical journey ever! I think this guide will be extremely useful though. Im not familiar with the complete NWW list other than a handful of (REALLY) interesting albums, but I'll keep an eye on your project, David, too see if I can find some more freaky classics.
Spread the word and good luck!

Thanks! I'm hoping it will be useful for others as well as an interesting personal project. Ultimately, it all boils down to one person's opinion about other people's work, but at least it might be a useful starting point for exploring a fascinating but often treacherous resource. Incidentally, I've just hit double figures! 11 down, 281 to go... |

I've heard a pretty fair proportion of NWW list artists over the years, and all I can do is wish you luck on what will be a singularly challenging musical journey. And that Alvarro album SERIOUSLY messed with my head some 30 plus years ago - I'm almost tempted to re-visit it if it's floating round the blogosphere. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

I highly recommend you do so! Alvaro was a real revelation for me - I have never heard anything quite like it before. It's not "difficult" music, really, just immensely idiosyncratic. In some ways I think that album does for traditional South American music what Comus did for British folk, i.e. take the conventions and twist them into something unsettling and progressive. |

20 albums down, 272 to go! To celebrate, I've posted the first retrospective "awards ceremony", highlighting the best, worst and weirdest albums I've encountered so far: http://nwwlist.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/001-020-%E2%80%93-the-winners-and-losers/ - #001-#020 - The Winners and Losers |

As a Nurse With Wound devotee, I have been following this project with much interest. I only know about 35 artists from the entire list, so I expect to learn a lot. I hope you continue to update!

Found the time/inclination for a new update, which you can read a- http://nwwlist.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/021-archimedes-badkar/ - here . I'm hoping to do at least a couple more this month. Looking forward to waxing lyrical about Area in the next one!

Another update and a slight shift in policy with the aim of making the project a more valuable resource. Please let me know what you think! http://nwwlist.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/023-gilbert-artman/ - http://nwwlist.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/023-gilbert-artman/ |

Hi David. Great idea, to lose sanity this way. But seriously, I'm thinking about doing the same thing, even much more slower and somehow worse, as I'm not that suitable for this kind of music as you probably are. Do you think that it can leave you damaged, or enriched ? ------------- There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless," -Andyman1125 on Lulu  Even my |

The latter, for sure. Having a penchant for experimental/avant-garde music helps, but there are lots of totally unclassifiable gems which can only help to expand your musical horizons. |

Thought I'd dredge this up to mention that this project has now morphed into a hopefully-weekly-or-thereabouts podcast series! http://woundwithlist.podomatic.com/" rel="nofollow - http://woundwithlist.podomatic.com/ Episode 2 should be along on Monday.  |

Sorry David, I would like to support you with this, but I simply do not do podcasts. I can advise you, though, to use an annoying amount of sound effects. The hipsters love it in Radiolab.

Listening to people talk takes too long. I'll read or at least skim the transcript, but I'm not sitting and listening to someone talk for 30 minutes. I'm a busy man and I have things to do. ;-) ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

I've been keeping the links very brief - under a minute by and large. The aim is for the music to speak for itself as much as possible. Still, each to their own! |
