Jandek

Thought I'd see if anyone wants to talk about the musician known as Jandek.

Personally, I think he's at his best when he's making depressing music by himself with just an out-of-tune guitar. When he's with a band, or even someone else, he sounds terrible (well, more than usual).

 

I fuck with Jandek... well, in a way. I lost touch with him just as he started gigging live and don't really know where to start with the post 2004 material. What I've heard of it hasn't been all that enticing, either. It's weird that the music he performs live with real musicians seems more inaccessible, more inscrutable, and less good than the stuff he was recording in his front room in secret in the '80s.
