[Jandek] JANDEK LIVE AT THE ICA in BOSTON

[Spencer Graham]

"but perhaps he realized that he should let Sting have it."
   
  Yes, and Sting should let him have the lute- I think Jandek could do some real damage with that...

  I disagree. Like I said about the Manhattan show, he plays his instruments in a very idiosyncratic way (I don't think I have ever seen anyone play any bass, much less a fretless, with their middle and ring fingers), but in a way that seems to be of total comfort and confidence for him. Fretless bass is difficult to play, but I found his playing pretty effortless. 

    That's a damn cool bass...I gotta get me one o' those.. it sounded the most like a stand-up bass of any electric bass guitar I've ever heard.
  

IIRC, Godins are made specifically to sound like uprights.
  
  
Jandek's lyrics are getting darker and more sarcastic. Me like. I was a little bummed that with all the whirlpool imagery he didn't bust out a Scylla/Charybdis reference, but perhaps he realized that he should let Sting have it.
