[Jandek] Re: Album Numbering

[Joe Faust]

If you check these mailing list archives, you'll find
lots of theories about why Corwood started numbering
with 0739.

My favorite is that it was the number that happened to
be on the tape counter on Jandek's tape recorder when
he was asked what number to use on Ready for the
House.  It makes sense in a very Jandek sort of way,
considering the off-the-cuff way in which he chose his
name.

As far as contacting the man himself about the subject
- you might not get the answers you want.  It's better
that way.
