ha! derek, its annoying me now tho.....

Well, you can't like EVERYTHING that people like. Especially when it comes to Jandek, for some people his work just clicks and for others it never clicks. Actually it took me about a year before I got into him. I had heard Blue Corpse and hated it, picked it up a year later and loved it. I dunno, everyone's different as been said.

So I've just came to the conclusion that Jandek is the most thought-provoking artist I've ever heard. Not just in the mystery surrounding him, but his music is just so... insanely unique and his words are very cryptic yet beautiful. Crazy.

Yeah, Jandek is god. I seriously go through phases where it's all I listen to.

Pauly.. Jandek clicked with me immediately, I thought it was some of the best shit I ever heard, but my friend thought it was completely terrible, laughable stuff. About a year later after me first playing Jandek for him he goes, "um, think you can rip me some of that Jandek stuff? I haven't been able to get it out of my mind." (paraphrased but the same idea is conveyed in that quote as what he said)

i'm in a hase of jandek good lovin' these days thanks to the rocket scientists here. i downloaded about huh 30 LPs and really like the aesthetics, the (non)-story around him. I like the live stuff a lot less than th eregular stuff but i can totally relate to this as i would selfrelease numerous tapes within a couple of years in my late teens/ very early twenties. His ways speak to me in a very nostalgic way. The music is cryptic but one goes into this for the atmosphere. Me likey. I wouldn't buy his stuff though.

You wouldn't buy it really?

Cuz you can get 20 cd's off of him for $80. What a deal!

...

Just think, you can own EVERYTHING HE'S EVER DONE (including the dvd's and stuff) for a mere $250 or so...

My favorite Jandek song is "Real Afternoons".

There's only one altar
That's the refrigerator
Where you keep your food
Whether you slaughter human, animal, or grapes
It's your altar
The table for your food
Devour God's knowledge
At your altar
In your food you eat
Build your blocks to stand up
Straight and erect
Skank, you skank
Leave
I got away after you left
Now I'm gone, don't see me
Forget and go on somewhere
I forgot now I'm free
I ain't going back to no mystery
These afternoons are real

I know it's real cheap. But i don't like it all ENOUGH to buy it.
I have to be very selective about what i buy, i buy 2 to 4 CDs a month, not more , even on ebay. My money is tight. I have to absolutely love the stuff to but it. With Jandek i'm fascinated with the atmosphere and the consistency of his output but his music as such is not up to my very own BUYING standards.
heh.

I was kidding.

whatevs (batreleaser styley)

I've just downloaded it. I love Jandek, so I'm really glad you uploaded it, atsonicpark!

Actually, I found your link first on the lastfm Jandek page, then saw this. I guessed you and adamcooleyisdea were the same person before that though : )

I'll try to upload the other new one soon.

Thanks bromie.

I'm gonna shove my dick so hard till it rips through the membrane and comes out the other side!

weird, I said something similiar the other day to the old lady. I said "You love when I finger those membranes."

Haha! I took it from Mark Prindle's new video review. He reviews "AC/DC" [sic].

so people will see it on the new page.

Finally, here's the 3rd new one:
