I noticed on the Jandek web page that there was some interest in the justification of using 0739 as the catalogue numbers on "Ready For The House..." I have no explanation as to why the following series of simple equations based on a Jandek lyric can be brought together as 0739, but they can, and I've always figured that there was some significance there, albeit completely foreign to me... "three times four is twenty seven" (from "First You Think Your Fortune's Lovely) which we all know it isn't... however, three times four does equal twelve... which, when added to the aforementioned twenty seven, equals thirty nine... and, if you add three and four, as opposed to multiplying them, you get seven... bring the seven and the thirty nine together and you have 0739... but what, if anything, it signifies, I have no idea, and maybe it's just a weird coincidence...

Hmmm. But what makes you think that a "normal" 12, added to a "Jandekian" 27, would yield 39 (in either space)? More importantly, does Jandekian algebra exhibit ring characteristics? Clearly, we need more evidence... -rob Message-ID: <392D91F0.94050365@ix.netcom.com> From: Mark Allen To: jandek@cs.northwestern.edu Subject: New to Jandek - CD info. Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 13:50:08 -0700 Hi! I just joined this list and had a question about the CD re-issues. Are the CDs of "Six and Six" and "Follow Your Footsteps" available yet? I looked over some past messages and saw what I could of the printed catalogue list but wasn't sure exactly. And I can order them individually, or do I have to do the 20 CDs for $80. I'm not exactly sure how it works... I have known about Jandek for a long time but have never really paid him too much attention - until I recently heard the "Ready For the House" CD at a friend's house (which I just went out and bought), and then heard those RealAudio files of "Follow..." I'm now becoming obsessed! The drumming on "Follow..." My also being from Texas I think adds to the allure. Any and all info would be appreciated! Thanks!

In addition to ordering directly from the Man, you can also get whatever's currently in print by ordering from Jimmy Johnson's Forced Exposure: http://www.forcedexposure.com/labels/corwood.industries.html Enjoy! -Maurice
