[Jandek] buying Jandek CDs in UK

[Simon Greenwood]

Volcanic Tongue (www.volcanictongue.com) usually has the discography in
stock, but there's no difficulty in ordering direct from Corwood
following the instructions at http://tisue.net/jandek/ordering.html.
International Money Orders, which you can get from your local post
office, seem to be acceptable.
