The corwood Rep, with un-named friends, captured live at the Harrison Center for the Arts Indianapolis, Indiana December 9, 2006.
Was it not Kurt Cobain who said 'Jandek isn't Pretentious, but his fans are'?....well, if that isn't recommendation enough to listen to Jandek records I dunno what is. Basically fuck off Nirvana boy....oh,wait, he has.
Yeah, its pretentious, but like Political correctness ,that can piss off all the dick'eads one doesn't like. Unlike Rock Music in general, which is just 'conformism' in ripped jeans.
Yeah, Pretensiousness, if its done right, can be as subversive as Elvis in '56. I've grown to love Political correctness in the same way.Anything that fucks off 'les Gilet Jaunes' is fine with me. All Fascists and Bigots hate both of these fine institutions in spades.....and i'm not refering to 'people of Colour'!
Jandek's in fine form again on this double CD.The viola gets dusted off again, and there's some flute too, all improvised to the Rep's highest low standards.
As for Indianapolis, the only thing I can think of to say about that is, isn't that the place where thee most boring sporting event on the planet takes place? The Indianapolis 500, where a bunch of boneheads drive as fast as possible around an oval track with no bends or chicanes for 500 miles. No driving skill is required other than the ability to push the throttle to the max for 200 laps, and have a stupid desire to risk death. Some would say, that exactly describes Jandeks never-ending onslaught of record releases, but i would say back to them exactly the same thing i said earlier to the ghost of Cobain....it begins with 'F' and the second word is 'off'.

Indianapolis is also where Kurt Vonnegut was from :)
I've had lots of music I enjoy called pretensious. 'Fuck you' remains the only reasonable response. Anything else is stylized wanking.
