Fw: [Jandek] Jandek Lives!

New Release Tuesday: Jandek's 52nd album is almost definitely less interesting then #s 1-51
I refuse to give any credibility to a person who claims to be a writer who doesn't know the difference between then and than. I'm all for spelling mistakes and minor oversights but on the headline? Surely not. Is proof reading a lost art.

Sorry, a little off topic but hey!!

Hi everyone:) 

�

It has been said before but I just want to reiterate that Myth of The Blue Icicles is an awesome work. The guitar playing seems to me to be much�more varied than in the previous couple of studio albums, the poetry is profound and Jandek's voice is more nuanced. Go out and get it if you haven't already!

�

Also, just read a (newish) Jandek article on the web:

http://blogs.laweekly.com/play/teenage-kicks/new-release-tuesday-jandeks-52/

This review left me somewhat disturbed. Check out the title 

New Release Tuesday: Jandek's 52nd album is almost definitely less interesting then #s 1-51
and a sample quote: "Don't feel bad Jandek, they're just not that into you anymore."

This is not Jandek hate-speech - I view it as a said indictment on us, the fans. I think it has also been said in this list before...the discussions among the fans have definitely slowed down and there seems to be a lot less excitement now that Jandek has "outed" himself, so to speak, with his live performances. Here is a call to all the fans: I think we are in real danger of taking Jandek for granted.�The Representative is one of the greatest musicians and artists of our (or any) time. I know I've been guilty myself but...let's get re-enthused, let's get excited about Jandek, let's maintain the rage!!!

�

As the first step, I would definitely encourage everyone to go to the above website and leave comments promoting Jandek's music :)

�

Sorry about this post being long-ish...just wanted to post this by way of encouragement. Also, definitely don't mean to sound waspish or anything like that :)
