[Jandek] Jandek DVD boxset for 2007?

[Yuval Legendtofski]

Since it seems to be the new format for the mysterious one, I can see a
lovely 'Corwood Font' boxset being released either later this year or early
next. Expect commentries from Byron Coley, Steve 'Pig' Gold and the list's
very own Seth Tisue!

And happy new year all of you wise Jandek fans (or should it be happy
'depressed' or 'schized' or 'bipolar'  or 'secretive' or 'cryptic' or
'poetic' new year???)
