Death in June strikes me as something of a watered-down version of NWW.
I must confess, I'm not as fond of NWW/Stereolab as I am of NWW flying solo. I mourn my lost copy of 23 Eazy Pieces. |

I love DIJ's later apocalyptic folk stuff, but had I only heard their early output my opinions of their music would be vastly different.
They have made some of the best albums I own though; "Wall Of Sacrifice" and "But What Ends When The Symbols Shatter" are both extremely important to me. I see almost no similarities between DIJ and NWW though; between them and Current 93 for sure (especially before they had their big falling-out), but NWW has always walked a much different path. |

Death in June have a dodgy fashion sense though.When i went to see them play last year at the Slimelight in London one of them,i swear,was wearing a plaster on his face just like Nelly.I wish i could remember the name of the support band cause they were even better.

I know a chap who met Tibet on the tube, and he was apparently a complete and total cock.
And I think it's DIJ's terrible pseudo-Nazi imagary that annoys me the most, I know lots of people have done it, but they seem to do it in a more provocative than interesting way.

I know more than a few people who know Tibet (who doesn't use the name Tibet anymore in any case), and by all accounts he is a very kind person who is funny as hell and very nice to deal with. I have never heard stories of him being jerky from any of them.
As for DIJ.. I also love the way DIJ appropriate Nazi imagery; I think it's highly effective, and they fact that they never confirm or deny anything works well for their mystique (not to mention the conundrum of "gay Nazis"). Let's face it, Totenkopfs are cool looking. |

Hahaha!
Penniless bus driver! Yeah, I'll give you that, but the masks-and-camo thing they did for so long was pretty great. They definitely have similar stage sets to a few groups (NON as well), but those sets make for good photos. I think they managed to carve out a fairly original sound considering where they started from, still. |

True,I'll give them that.The guy who was obviously impersonating Nelly on stage was priceless.I pissed myself laughing all the way,and gosh,the gig got better and better.It was almost ravey by the end of the night.As ravey as a bunch of mascara mad Goths can go obviously. |

Really, there's nothing there in that torrent of 99 Nurse with Wound albums that anyone's missing?

I can't get into NWW. I've listened to quite some albums, but I haven't liked any of it. Or well, it's not bad, but I haven't heard anything interesting enough to catch my attention. Meh.

Huge fan of NWW - right back to 'Chance meeting...' Went to see them perform 'Salt Marie Celeste' at The Queen Elizabeth Hall a few years back. Amazing.

That's how I was, or maybe am -- tend to find NWW quite overrated, but there is some interesting stuff on each album, I highly reccomend A SUCKED ORANGE, that's the one that really got me, otherwise I'd just check out Current 93. |

Yes, I love Current 93, so much better than NWW. I'll check out A Sucked Orange though, I don't think I've heard it yet. I can agree that parts of what I've heard have been interesting, but not necessarily good or you know, worth to spend time on. Let's hope that A Sucked Orange change that. |

I bought their CD at the Faust show last year in Montreal.
Disconnected. Can't say I like him as much as Faust but still willing to check 'em out. RN
