my check and envelope left Rhode Island this morning. Since it is a check (give an extra week or so for clearing purposes) and not a money order, I'm guessing I wont have it until Nov 28th (Monday) or so... Damn 'Dek! Lets get some automated web e-commerce shit going! This is punk rock mailorder circa the '70s... (I guess many would advocate that that is part of the charm) _______________________________

Mine came today. I wrote a chatty letter (as I alwasy do) talking about how I was at the Austin show, his use of Muslim imagery, and the Astros. I asked if there would be videos of the shows, and whether he had converted to Islam. I also re-issued my request for the man to play Boston. I got this response: 'Videos we hope Photos nothing to do with pilgrimage or tourism' Fucking right on!

Listened to it on the way to work this morning. Very percusive guitar (even more so than usual to my ears). Severely lonely... (see/hear 'I Shot Myself' for example) 'I shot Myself' may become my new 'getting ready and commuting in the morning' anthem. developing... _______________________________

That's grim. How about: "I('d like a) Shot (or two of espresso) Myself"

I am listening to Jonathan Richman right now, who certainly doesn't need any more coffee.

So the guitar on 'Khartoum' sounds a lot like the other recent albums, except more in tune and less distorto, vocals sharp, unslurred.

Posted by frame609 on 2005-11-04 19:35:17 +0000

'I Shot Myself', for the record, is fucking awesome.

Posted by rladew on 2005-11-04 19:53:04 +0000

very percussive, no? _______________________________

Posted by frame609 on 2005-11-04 20:11:36 +0000

It is, yeah- his guitar playing is always pretty amazing on acoustic.

I keep wondering what would happen if I peered over my cubicle walls and actually tried to play or tell someone at work about Jandek. Id probably be walked out by security... _______________________________

I listened to Khartoum while doing dishes last night. I'm not entirely covinced that everything Jandek plays is improvised. Some of it sounds composed. The more I hear his guitar, the less it sounds like a little kid strumming with no rhyme or reason. Hearing 'I Shot Myself' while scraping off caked on grease is quite an experience. (Headphones were used BTW - otherwise Im pretty sure Jackie and I would be getting divorced right now) _______________________________
