* Jandek : Afternoon Of Insensitivity: Part Seven (28.0 mb) From Manhattan Tuesday : Corwood Industries : 0788 Even though Jandek (look here and here ), aka "The representative from Corwood Industries", is based out of Houston, Texas, I feel like he knows the pain and loneliness that we in the upper Midwest feel during the winter times. His music, full of anguish, alienation, pain and suffering, work perfectly with the recent spate of cold and snow. [...]

Hello my loves. I'm currently scribing from the kitchen, where Sari is preparing a massive Sunday afternoon spread that includes homemade bruschetta and all sorts of yummy snacks. We're several bottles in, and it's been a generally beatific day. Not sure what the plan is tonight, but I have to be asleep at a reasonable hour thanks to another voluntary airport run in the wee hours of tomorrow morning. Hopefully this won't happen again for a while. Now here's the music. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to [...]

jandek may 3 1985 (française version) Je suis. Je suis né. Je suis né un 3 mai. La chanson de Jandek a la moitié de mon âge. Suis je passé à Charleston ? ou était ce le Charleville de Rimbaud ? (englikhtonian version) I am. I'm born. I'm born on May 3. I'm twice the ageof the Jandek's song. [...]

There is something about an artist that seems mysterious, something unknown and maybe even strange. Lots of artists throughout time, from Jandek to Devendra Banhard have possesed this mysterious persona at one time or another, usually to the delight of their fanbases. An artist that could easily fit into that realm is Paleo , though to a different degree maybe. Paleo is currently on tour and has been for the past 300 days or so. He has been living out of a van and playing a show almost every day, of which he [...]

Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid - Our Time (Domino 2007) Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid – Tongues / Domino Think back to radio circa 1964. Or, if you're of the younger generation, turn on your local Oldies station. I can guarantee that within an hour or two, you will hear the chugging rhythm and anthemic vocals of the Motown staple "Dancing in the Street" care of Martha Reeves' powerful vocal cords. Is it the blind optimism of the lyrics that draws so many people to listen cheerfully year [...]

* Jandek : The Cell: Part One (12.5 mb) | The Cell: Part Two (9.0 mb) From Glasgow Monday : Corwood Industries : Corwood 0785 After the horrible cancellation of last years Jandek performance in Chicago (look here ), I never thought that I'd finally get a chance to see him.
