There's little reason to bring any more albums into this house really and I've mentioned earlier that soon after I met my wife, she bought this Nurse With Wound album: but, I will say that before she retired, she would travel and call me sometimes to tell me who she was seeing perform live that night: The Boredoms, Ivor Cutler, The Balanescu Quartet and others.

When Misha Mengelberg departed in 2017, among the things he left behind was an archive of cassettes and DAT tapes, primarily public performances that had been professionally recorded but never released for one reason or another. We are working to make these recordings public in as complete a manner as possible, with the acknowledgment that we currently know very little about most of their origins outside of whatever cryptic descriptor is written on the cassette case. This one, for example, simply says: "17-18-4-88 berlijn solo", indicating that this music was recorded on the 17th and 18th of April 1988 in Berlin; however, incoming research suggests that the correct year of this recording is actually 1987. Further research is ongoing, more detail to come. In terms of the track labelling/credits, the decision has been made to leave the tracks as unedited improvisations despite Misha's brief or extended explorations of composed pieces within those sets.

Yeah, I think it's just a flexibility thing. OK, Jasper Van 't Hof started it, but then Joachim Kühn continued it and they had mostly German band members and recorded for MPS. I wonder how long the series could last if Stapleton continues like this. The continuous references over the years to that NWW list has always been a bit tiresome methinks. I wonder how much of that is due to Stapleton himself or the chosen laziness of the music press.

Not sure if you're familiar with the original idea of the Nurse With Wound list from 1979, but the first volume of this series featured French bands from that list and this one is of German bands.

Oh, man. There’s one in München too? I’m gonna have to be more awake.

Never went to the one in Düsseldorf, but the Köln one that was stuffed in that corner was fun to go to. As much time as I've spent in Frankfurt, I didn't know until recently that there was one there as well.

Miss the Köln Zweitausendeins.

Try hydrogen peroxide!

As a young guy shopping inside the Jazz Record Mart, a woman and a man walked into the store with a large envelope kind of package. I was standing at the counter as the artwork was trying to be released from the envelope and the woman kinda lost her grip on it and it almost went to the floor. I was there to catch it and they both thanked me. I don't know who the woman was, but the man was Braxton and the artwork was for that Together Alone album. It was my first time talking to him.
