[Jandek] Jandekemia

[Yuval Legendtofski]

Jandek is easily worthy of academic analysisi...His bizarre 'career', and
MASSIVE body of work compared to say Jim Morrison or J.D Sallinger...A total
dconstruction of rock and then a ;seminal' influence on the lo-fi indie
thing that has pretty much redefined American rock if you follow the
string...The sheer audacity of Jandek's 'thing' AND the fact that he has
somehow pulled it off, makes it more than worthy. I mean sheesh they have
courses in hiphop, queercore, grunge, moderne indi and other rubbishy music,
why not Jandek?
