Jandek ‎– "Portland Thursday" (Corwood Industries ‎– CORWOOD 0798) 2009


What were you doing on the 20th of April, 2006?
If you were celebrating Hitlers Birthday, then you're an idiot.If you were watching Jandek at the Hollywood Theatre Portland Oregon, then you're not so much of an Idiot; more an inspired Idiot, or a Lucky idiot. There are people out there who think Jandek is an Idiot,well I am inclined to place such people in the same category as those who would celebrate Herr Schicklgrubers latest landmark.
As with all the early 'live' Jandek recordings, this one sounds like Jandek's studio records but meated-up by competent improvisers.
Some of this even 'Rocks-Out','kicks-ass', or whatever other hyphenated adjectives do the rounds in American Rocker circuits.
Fear not, there are ladles of misery and self-pity to pour over those specific carbunkles to conteract such unpleasentness, like gravy neutralising the chopped liver alongside your potatoes.

How about sending people to where they can BUY it. Your'e no Jandek fan.

Jonny Zchivago said...

dear Unknown....Why don't YOU send people to where they can buy it, as you're such a fan?
This is how it works these days.
Personally i'm not a fan of anybody.I enjoy the Jandek myth and his dysfunctional music,but as a person apparently he's a bit of a pervy creep.Are you a 'fan' of that too?

david ames said...

Your 'pervy creep' comment has NO BASIS. sPREADING UNFOUNDED RUMORS LIKE THAT CAN GET YOU A VISIT WITH A REAL FAN. A real fan who finds his music quite functional. EXPLAIN you 'dysfunctional' comment. Good luck with that.

This is how WHAT works these days? People showing music fans how to steal proprietary materials from other creators? Only scumbags do that.

Unknown said...

Scumbags post links to illegal download sites. Cite an example of pervy creep comment or apologize. Music functions just fine.

Jonny Zchivago said...

@ david ames....' a vist from a real fan'?....Lol is that some kind of threat?
Hahaha, confronted with an irate Jandek Fan? You'd be hard pressed to find one of those willing to travel thousands of miles to be beaten up by me.

ps,
the music obviously doesn't function in a 'Normal' way, therfore it is defined as dysfuntional...rather like your brain.

Unknown said...

Ya I'm threatening some pussy who hides behind a fake name , and instructs people to steal copyrights. And then chooses to infer false rumors about the Artists they are stealing from. Jesus.

Jonny Zchivago said...

Says 'Unknown'.
You seem fun to know,mr self-righteous jandek sooooper fan.

Finally, I'm blessed with the Jandek recording of a show I was at, and it is topped with, as far as I can tell, the absolute worst cover. Oh, well.
