Simple Headphone Mind is the second collaboration between Stereolab and Nurse With Wound. As with their first release, Crumb Duck, Stereolab recorded the basic track and then handed it over to Steven Stapleton to do with as he pleased. Unlike, Crumb Duck, listeners can hear the original Stereolab recording, as it was issued under the title The Long Hair Of Death on a split single with Yo La Tengo. It was also featured on Stereolab's Aluminum Tunes compilation album. A short sample of Wow And Flutter b-side Heavy Denim was also used by Stapleton.
Again, as with Crumb Duck, the release was a limited edition. There were between 800 and 1000 compact discs (the NWW and Stereolab websites disagree on numbers) and 4,000 vinyl records, around 1,000 of which were on yellow vinyl. All copies came in a sealed metallic sleeve. An edit of Simple Headphone Mind was included on the NWW compilation The Swinging Reflective but plans to reissue the EP have yet to reach fruition.
