[Jandek] Hard to Swallow & Faux Jandek

Of the 18 I have (and that includes a volume of spoken
word), the only one I choke on is White Box Requiem. 
I'm just not into tinkly, high-strung, repetitive
guitar soloing.

Yeah.  That's how I discovered Joe Ely and Lyle
Lovett.  Janky would be a harder sell than those
folks, I suspect.

While I'm writing, I have to ask - why go to the
trouble of doing a remix of faux Jandek when there's
so much great material from the original?  Look at Lee
Rosevere's remix of "Lavender" as an example.
