[Jandek] Jandek coverband

[Simon Greenwood]

I doubt that he has any formal representation at all.

One thing that has struck me about this debate is how exactly a  
Jandek song can be covered. I believe that the live shows confirm the  
way in which the music is created: that there is a text, and  
sometimes a concept, from which the improvisation develops, and the  
only record of each track is the recording, so unless you worked out  
how to 'tune' your guitar and managed to replicate the recording note  
for note, you're not covering the song, but making your own  
interpretation of the text, which would seem more preferable to the  
Representative.
