recommend really terrible albums.

jandek is pretty awesome imo. at the very least it's a very original approach to music. i can see that it being "terrible" is part of the charm though, maybe that's what you're getting at.

I'm definitely with you. He can be pretty goddamned hypnotic, honestly, and the mood captured in his first 10-15 years of music is amazing. Very much suicide blues.

I suppose anything by Motley Crue should do the trick.

My friends and I always joked that Jandek was the one outsider musician that had no redeeming qualities. Like, The Shaggs and Wesley Willis both sound cool in their own way, but Jandek just sucks. We couldn't even say that he was better than pop music, like Beiber. We laughed so much at "Mother's Day"; we managed to get that song played at a school event once.

 

But music is subjective, and I can see why someone would like it. I'm glad he exists, too, because he's fucking hilarious.

Oh wow, this makes me feel better. I thought I had the wrong kind of brain because I don't ejaculate when I hear Jandek..

neither do i. how could i put it... i listen to a jandek album maybe four or five times a year. but i'm very, very glad that he exists.

although then there's this

ah fuck it, i LOVE this.

Jandek @ Rudyards is one of my favorite Youtube videos. 1:36 is the best.
