Guest Z_B_Z Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 ive found myself listening to a lot of jandek and id like to read some peoples opinions of him. pretentious trash? genius avant garde? at the very least i think the man has a gift for writing lyrics/poetry. i think the record covers are pure art and would love to see them all on a wall in a gallery somewhere.

xy_politics Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 genius avant garde! If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend the documentary film made about him, "Jandek On Corwood" At the moment I'm listening to This Narrow Road and Ready For The House. I'd like to get hold of Chair Beside A Window.

Guest Z_B_Z Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) yeah, ive seen jandek on corwood. pretty good documentary considering the man himself wasnt involved in any way. i love "ready for the house". a fantasically creepy album. "chair beside a window" is worth it for 'nancy sings' alone. he seems pretty aware of what hes doing and not the idiot savant some people make him out to be. found this random letter he wrote to someone about the purpose of art Edited November 10, 2008 by Z_B_Z Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/39766-jandek/#findComment-872426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z_B_Z Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 yeah, i think i agree. it is indeed a genius concept Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/39766-jandek/#findComment-873023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aron Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 i can dig on jandek. i dont think he's the weird artistic genius that some people make him out to be, though. he's got some nice tunes and an original style, i will admit. his first 2 albums are probably my favorite. nancy sings is such a good song.

Guest Space Coyote Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Chalk another one up for liking "Nancy Sings" but apart from really enjoying Jandek on Corwood and the myth of the man before his public appearances, I can't get down with it Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/39766-jandek/#findComment-1004847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow U Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Likely my favorite artist of all time. My band recently released a Corwood-approved (I have the letters to prove it!) covers CD of us doing instrumental versions of 9 Jandek songs. VCV - Round The Bend: VCV Plays Jandek /shameless plug Really though, Luke speaks the truth. Our experience in Richmond was nothing short of transcendental. If I were to pick five of his records to take with me to a desert island, they would likely be: On The Way Living In A Moon So Blue Twelfth Apostle One Foot In The North Six And Six Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Mellow U's signature Hide all signatures On 12/3/2011 at 11:42 PM, 'Enter a new display name' said: inb4 Mellow U complaining Milieu Music Listening-techno, bedroom ambient and organic electronic music for the discerning consumer.
