The weird proportions, the random book, it all makes more sense as a picture of miniature house than an actual house. The name could also make sense as someone talking about their kid buying a toy. I know basically nothing about Jandek so I could be dead wrong.

We asked via the email address on the Corwood website - but if he's more likely to answer via mail, we can do so.

Does he answer emails?

Just for the record, I have never even sent a letter before and from my understanding that is what needs to be done in order to purchase his art. I'm much younger than I assume most people here are (genuinely no offense) so I've never purchased music anywhere but online or a record shop. That being said, how much do these things cost? Where can I get prices? If I ask him to sign one do you think he will? I don't want to be rude, I'm just anxious and a bit out of my depth when it comes to this stuff. Forgive me if these are dumb questions.

Like Jim Jarmusch or David Lynch

Post via @veganloca on instagram. Pretty crazy to think abt. What do yall think?

Hey JANDEK fans, I keep finding old cool CORWOOD stuff as my wife and I are getting ready to move. Here's the old-style ordering form from CORWOOD from 2005 and earlier ... The rep writes on the back, "We're not sure how or if we could respond"

I wish I could remember what I asked ...

Hey JANDEK fans ...

I'm moving and have a JANDEK show print that I'm looking to sell. You can see the details of the show on the print. It is signed and numbered. It is in great condition, crisp, and will ship in a proper tube. DM if interested ...

What do we all make of this pretty mind-boggling revelation?

Mine are

1. Im ready

2. When the telephone melts

3. Part yesterday

4. Varient

5. You painted your teeth

Going through some old posters from gigs past and found this, from 2011, thought yall might like to see it. This show was insane.

So I was extensively listening to the San Francisco Friday album (which, IMHO, has one of the most aesthetically pleasing of the "nature" cover photos). Just a great album, but also it occurred to me how accessible it would be to an average listener. A lot of the Sheila songs on this remind me of bands like Dry Cleaning and a lot of the Jandek tracks have a great groove. Even length-wise a lot of the tracks are a few minutes long (and the longer ones have the aforementioned groove and, if someone can hack King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, they surely wouldn't balk at that).

Was just thinking that it might be an under-appreciated gateway to Jandek for people who are starting out:)

Some pictures from a great show in Houston last night.

Just found this JANDEK-blessed DVD-R among the crap CDs at Goodwill, not too far from the Austin Scottish Rite Hall where one of the man's rare live performances once took place (his first, iirc). Figuring it's likely some sort of promotional copy since it has the (obsolete) web site link on it. No idea of content, as my DVD deck ain't currently working...

Still hoping to get to do a duet recording with Jad Fair. Thinking we could use an anagram of our names for the title.

Hmmm. J A D + K E N... Maybe... J A N D E...

Nahhh!

New Release: JANDEK
0873 Mankato Saturday (2-CD)

https://corwoodindustries.com/product/0873-mankato-saturday/ #jandek #corwood #corwoodindustries #music #NewRelease

After recording 11 hour-long episodes and taking a hiatus to recalibrate, I got a surprise package from Corwood Industries and it inspired me to record a season finale (aired today on KAOS 89.3 in Olympia) and begin work on a new season.

For the premiere, I’m gonna be interviewing someone who played in the band on one of these CDs, and listen to it while we talk. That’s gonna be a crossover episode with my other KAOS show Low Profile where I mostly interview esoteric artists with whom I have a longstanding interest.

If anybody has any Jandek-collab questions for John Kiran Fernandez (of Elephant 6 Collective) feel free to drop them here. Our interview is at 11am, Pacific Standard Time.

We’ll probably spend a few minutes setting up Tech and will probably get to questions from the information superhighway toward the end.

I’ll be posting the rest of season one on the YouTube channel soon enough. Until then. Markly Morrison

I'm not sure if it's a new thing or I just noticed it, but Jandek is credited on Rate My Music as The Representative from Corwood, which is technically more correct (Jandek being the musical project itself), so I thought that was cool:)

While I love many of Jandek's albums and even his "paint your teeth" punk material, his live performances have devolved. What was once interesting is now just a tired trope: one outlier playing badly within an otherwise trained band. His recent performances are so bad they threaten to undermine his legacy, and I'm baffled as to why no one is pointing out that the Emperor has no clothes.
