Jandek LIVE!

It happened this past weekend in Glasgow seemingly totally out of the blue. I am on the Jandek mailing list and the people there are FLIPPING OUT!

I thought some of you in here would find this of interest.

Others...not so much.

I am excited about it myself.

To me, this move by Jandek (and apparently the show was recorded and will be released on Corwood as a CD/DVD) draws a line in the sand, separating the people who care about his music more than anything else (they should be very happy about this) from the people who only were interested in The Mystery Of Jandek (they are sad, I'm sure). I hope everybody jumping off the bandwagon at least twist their ankles.

I bet all somebody did was ask, and he said yes.

N/C!!!

according to David Tibet of Current 93 who played the night before, the orgainzers spent 7 months hashing out the details w/ Jandek. Little more than "asking", but still really fucking cool.

When I heard I had call my wife and freak out on the phone to someone for a bit.

for some reason, I think I would enjoy him live way more than his records.

Good for him. Jandek and Slint should play a show together in the U.S.

When I first heard, I was suspicious of someone putting one over on the J-list. "Guesswhat? We saw Jandek live! And you didn't! Haw haw--psych! Haw haw haw!"

But so far this seems legit. And it's great. It had to be totally mindblowing for the people there. If he's in Pittsburgh on November 5, he is, of course, welcome to drop by the Open Mic Jandek Cover Night show I'm doing at the Forbes & Craig Kiva Han.

from the "news" section of The Wire

Jandek, outsider music's most notorious enigma, comes
out of the woodwork once again to play three dates in
the US in August and September. The dates, his first
in the US, have been organised by UK promoter Barry
Esson, who first persuaded the reclusive Texan to play
live at Glasgow's Instal festival in October 2004, his
first live appearance in a ‘career' spanning a quarter
of a century. All three dates will feature the Corwood
Industries representative backed by a pick up group
put together from local musicians. Austin Scottish
Rite Theatre 28 August www.jandekinaustin.com; New
Orleans Tulane University Dixon Hall (with MV + EE
Medicine Show) 2 September www.wtul.fm/jandek; New
York Anthology Film Archives (with MV + EE & The
Bummer Road, Loren Connors) 6 September www.anthologyfilmarchives.org
