Show your musician friends who brag about having perfect pitch all the time this to get back at them for bragging about having perfect pitch all the time
Me and a couple of friends saw him live at som snobbish music festival and we had a good laugh, i'm a fan of the cult and phenomenon but I think all this is a joke, theatre....I was in correspondence (a laden word here.) wth Sterling Smith, thats his real name, and he send me lots of cd's I never bought one, the cult grew then he got a manager I suppose and the game was over and I lost interest....I thing there a cd of that AB concert in Brussels.
After getting scared from listening to Ready For The House at 2am, the last thing I would expect to find from the same artist would be to find a song that never fails to calm me. It's like the two halves form a whole. Completely beautiful on both sides, but affect in opposite ways.
@@cameronschotter3545 There's plenty. His first period of music was all atonal blues. After that things got more melodic. Listen to I'm Ready, I'll Sit Alone and Think A Lot About You, and Time and Space to get started. And give those atonal albums a try. Think of them more as spoken word. That's really what they are, actually. Spoken poetry. Listen to I Knew You Would Leave, it's a beautiful piece. He did some recent albums that were just reading, with no accompaniment at all. Just writing.
he's amazing ...like the emperor's new jandek. Love it, when people write tuneless boring, meandering songs, and can't in tune or play their instruments at all and pretend they're artists most likely sell their souls to Satan to make other people believe they're an important artist and not a phony hack.
i’m very new to jandek, (just started listening to him yesterday), and i can see where the PF comparisons are coming from but personally i don’t think they’re fair. I am a fan of PF but they’re not on the same level of Jandek, they both make very good music but i feel like they’re completely different.
I listened to the first couple of tracks of Ready for the House and assumed all Jandek songs would sound like them since I'd never heard anything else from him... but this is so conventionally pretty!
That's the beauty about Jandek imo. There's just so much from where you can dig. And sometimes you just find an awesome gem among all those other linear strumming weird guitar songs he makes. My favorite is "I'm ready".

The more I listen to this guy's music, the more I appreciate it. He has a unique, stripped-down style that really appeals to me. He's far more astute than people might think. His music may be simple, but that's the genius of it. It's simple, but far from simplistic. He truly gets what music is about.
so true. His early albums especially--they use the open strum guitar to convey such a tone, so downtrodden but dreamy... and a book of his lyrics would exceed pretty much all the poetry I've read in the New Yorker. (And the fact that almost no one will listen to Jandek with you makes it all the more anthem of the loner.)
Just sounds like an asshole who doesnt know if he wants to solo on guitar or raise his voice on the mic. You pulled your comment out your minds asshole.
its about atmosphere and his ability to craft an incredibly creepy one due to how sparse and emotional it all sounds. I can picture myself being asleep in a completely empty room, i know there are rats in this room but I cant see them, though I can hear them running around and chewing on things from time to time, closing my eyes and pretending that they aren't there does nothing.

Why so many comparisons in these comments to Pink Floyd? You might as well compare him to George Floyd because it's that apt.
my favorite song to falling asleep

New music when??
Awesome
Can't wait for new tracks
jefferson airplane meets velvet underground
Finally, the first real comparisons in this entire comment section.
i dont know yall yall are just out of good music to listen to now yall settle for this
Such undisturbable peace
You can't fool me, this isn't Jandek. The song actually has a key signature.
I seriously see nothing weird w/ this. You commenters make me overthink.

This is strong
This song feels like it’s the end of the world and I’m enjoying the last moments in pain.
Is he playing guitar on this one at all?
I've been listening to Jandek for years and I've never heard this song or anything like it. Beautiful.
He can't sing, he can't play, but it's great
beautiful
Amazing
ahhhh....I love you Jandek

Why tf is everyone compare Jandek to Pink Floyd? Angry hipsters alert.
Could easily slap it on a film and have a great vibe, I mean the film would have to relate the emotion so I’m not sure how you’d do it lol
i always thought certain jandek songs could be used as soundtracks for Stan Brakhage films
I'm surprised Tarantino hasn't used stuff like this!

And that is called The Principle of Polarity 😊
This is beautiful and completely unlike the majority of his output.For those who think his music is unlistenable,this proves o therwise
seriously, only song ive heard of him thats not atonal

there's so many sides to jandek. blues, rock, jazz, psych, musique concrete, spoken word,
What are some of his best spoken word albums / songs? I can’t seem to find any

Jandek is one of the best live performers I have ever seen.
This guy performs live? Jesus. What dumb cock-smoker actually pays for this wanky shite?
@@cakesnatcher4541 seeing you all over his videos. it’s kind of hilarious. Hope I see you again. If I do I’ll say what’s up.
yall really need to shut the fuck up about pink floyd
grandeur is such a beautiful word I don't even know what it means
My musical wet dream. To hear The Rep do this song with the 13th Floor Elevators.

Pink Floyd?
His vocals sound like Roger Waters on Benzedrine and his guitar playing is like David Gilmore with a railroad spike through his head.
@@PaulMcMinotaur I love this
@@synthmalicious7541 dude i don't remember posting this but i have no idea who i was referring to as "PF" LMAO

"upon" is the word of grandeur par excellence, making this song a bundle of valuable whims

Well
quality work

Jandek > Pink Floyd
What album is this on?
word vert One Foot In The North
wow... looks like my cousin adam. makes me appreciate my cousin's dj spin session that i caught, all the more.
I always found the story of Jandek far more interesting than the music itself, this tune is an exception.
check out "The Cat that walked from Shelbyville"

I was privileged to attend a college where the college radio station owned every Jandek record and we would play them on air from time to time.
What the fuck college was this?

@@pigammon7843 Boston College. But I betcha a lot of colleges with indie rock / noncommercial radio stations play Jandek records.
