jandek live ?!?
Apparently Jandek played a show in Glasgow the other day, which, of course, is pretty fucking nuts, considering the past 26 years (or so) of complete and total secrecy and reclusion. This was his first live performance ever. According to what I've been able to find on-line, Jandek agreed to play only after multiple assurances that his name would never be mentioned in any capacity by the promoters. Also, Corwood Industries will supposedly be releasing this both as a cd and dvd. Finally, I haven't seen the documentary that's out there, "Jandek on Corwood", but I believe it's playing in Athens soon (if it hasn't already); I've heard it's a good introduction to the mystery, and so maybe some of you down there in Georgia should go check it out. I think it's showing at the 40 Watt soon.
