It's Time for the occasional Intermittent Jandek post

new 'Dek cover artwork finally surfaces here. KHARTOUM VARIATIONS (Corwood 782) Newcastle Sunday (2xcd set) Seth Tisue, contributor to all things Jandek (not to mention Ken Vandermark...) is usually the first to post big fat pix, but he just moved to Boston, so we'll let it slide). Check left Saturday, we'll see how long it takes...

Hopefully.

Get with the program, Yanks. It's about the music, not obscurity.

If the usual Corwood response is a haiku, I just got back 'Infinite Jest'! I had asked Mr. 'Dek and / or his Corwood representative about the possibility of a subscription service, so new releases would be mailed as they become available: "Although We Agreed Once To Do This, We Realize We Don't Have the accounting System to Accomodate Advance Payments. New Releases are recorded on www.forcedexposure.com. They distribute our releases 0783 is $12. You have a $4 credit with us. We expect another release March-April." Analysis of Khartoum Variations so far: more isolated / compressed than Khartoum. Jandek doesn't sound as wounded on this disc's version of 'I Shot Myself' bottom line: FUCK BONO!

Jandek owes you. Nice.

Just popped in 'Newcastle Sunday' disc 1 and Rolling Rock #3... The live sound is so much different than the "Man in a closet" of Kharthoum... swirling guitars and a coherent bass /drum bottom end!.. Dare I say the atonal blues has met up with a surging psychedelia? Best Title on Newcastle: 'Mangled and Dead'

NP and I are totally Making Mondays Tuesdays @ Home. Albeit, I'm at Ipswich Porter #1...

The mutual decision between Dawn and I to pass on Jandek on our way to the C4RT after party was chortle inducing...

Review of Sonic Youth reissue fr: TurntableLab R E V I E W Remember when Kim Gordon wasn't a MILF and Thurston Moore looked like a young Jandek? Yeah, me neither, but you can get photographic evidence that such a time existed in the liner notes of this here record. Originally released in 1982 on Glen Branca's label, this is Sonic Youth's real first album, self-titled and recorded in all its low-fi glory at Radio City Music Hall. The band was less than a year old at this point - in fact, this is the only recording with original drummer Rich Edison, who also contributes extensive liner notes here, along with SY scholar and Massachusetts wildman Byron Coley. Plenty here for old heads and newcomers alike: classic tracks like "Burning Spear(1)" and "She Is Not Alone(2)" are finally remastered to listenable sound quality, while the second platter unveils a cache of previously unreleased live tracks and the early studio track "Where the Red Fern Grows(3)." Deluxe gatefold cover with rare pictures and flyers, released on the band's own Goofin' label.
