The outer surface.

I'm currently still on the outside of Jandek for the

budgetary reasons.

I have yet to perceive other Jandek fans.

I don't know the guy.  Music's okay though.

You are a fan if you really like the music;  no other
criteria.  I'm a fan.

> post? Do you use the digest format? 

it's nice to be in a community of people that like the
same music as me.  infrequently post.  no digest.

my wife can't stand him; my brother seems somewhat
fascinated.  no other interactions on this subject.

> What do they think about you listening to Jandek? 

as long as she can't hear it, my wife doesn't mind.

a lot.  very fascinating indeed.

> Have you ever tried to contact Corwood Industries or
> Sterling Smith for reasons other than placing an

no, although I did ask a question with my order.  no
response.

> What is your perception of other Jandek fans? 

really I don't have a perception.  we're all
different, y'know.

> Why do you like Jandek? 

I love weird, "out there" stuff, and music of nearly
all kinds.

> How often do you listen to Jandek? 

these days, about as often as he comes up on the iPod.
 historically, only occasionally.  gotta get in the
mood for it.

> What other music do you listen to? 

way too many to list here.  lately, favorites include
Half-Handed Cloud, Danielson Famile, Duvall, Sufjan,
and TMBG.

> Is there anything I have not asked that you would
> like
> to tell me? 

Not anymore.
