Subject: Jandek: Lyrics to "Telegraph Melts" To: jandek@cs.nwu.edu From: Seth Tisue Date: Tue, 02 Dec 1997 23:44:25 -0600 Courtesy of an anonymous person in Houston with a typewriter. Coming soon: lyrics to One Foot in the North, Chair Beside a Window, and Foreign Keys. Side two of this record (except for the first song) is probably Jandek's goofiest album side. If you've only heard the CD's, think of "Janky" on Graven Image and "Pending Doom" on I Woke Up, but you really need to hear Jandek and "Nancy" going back and forth on this stuff...

You Walk Alone is a dual-guitar space-blues-rock masterpiece, Lost Cause has that unbelievable 20 minute improv noisefest, and The Living End is maybe not quite as necessary musically although it does have the best photo of Jandek on the cover as well as some superb and unsettling songs like "Janitor's Dead". == Seth Tisue http://www.cs.nwu.edu/~tisue/ +++ +=+ === ++= ==+ +== Subject: Jandek: More lyrics To: jandek@cs.nwu.edu From: Seth Tisue Date: Wed, 03 Dec 1997 13:07:26 -0600 Here's the complete lyrics to Glad to Get Away (the 2nd CD), thanks to Gerard Klauder. "Hey Mister Can You Tell Me" is one of my favorite Jandek songs ever...

I never noticed a second male vocalist on Modern Dances, I'll have to go back and listen for that. (Although I have noticed that a different male voice sings one song on a late LP, I think something on side A of Lost Cause... I need to go back and figure out if it's the same guy who does a lot of the vocals on the new CD.)
