Jandek ‎– "Seattle Friday" (Corwood Industries ‎– CORWOOD 0806) 2011


Its Monday,Its Jandek,and the sky is forever cloudy on this particular planet.
I don't know wether Sterling ,the Corwood rep, is actually playing the right wrong notes or, my brain has just become attuned to his out of tune-ness? It all sounds so good to these ears, even in the deaf parts of my audio spectrum. You can train the brane to make sense of anything if its exposed enough to abnormal situations;and anything Jandekian is as abnormal as it gets, both musically and psychologically. All ones normal senses are screaming that something is badly awry, yet,after years of exposure to this madness, its become the new normal.
Recorded live at 'On The Boards'in Seattle,on October 27, 2006. The backing band sports some nifty wah-wah bass,as a tribute to Seattles greatest son, Hendrix,J.I won't mention a certain checked shirt wearing rock revival movement from the early nineties, of which Seattle was the urban sprawl that received the blame;but, Jandek cannot be blamed for being a corporate rock whore of any description,unlike most of that long-haired nonsense was.He also won't be blowing his own brains out either, but you, might, if you listen to his vast back-catalog in one go;of which this double CD is but two hours of.

I think I was at this show. Drummer played at least one song from inside his bass drum.
