Awesome man you listened to my request for Jandek I feel honored
Thank you for the recommendation it was really interesting to look into him!
@@deburke321 no problem I’m really excited you took interest in my suggestion cheers
@@TheVioletBunny what's the email to send recommendations?
@@realvelikiman1987 I didn’t email I posted a comment on another video suggesting he should do content on jandek you do realize he reads comments and gets notifications from comments on his videos right? No need for email it’s not 2001.
@@TheVioletBunny thanks man
Jandek played Brisbane about 10 years ago, it was in a big venue but only about 30 people came to see him. It was a great show, then afterwards he invited a bunch of us up to his hotel room and was also a great host. He served cheese and crackers on a plate, handed out beers from the fridge, and generally was cool to hang out with. A warm and generous guy.
i think you mean the representative from corwood industries
I found out about this show the day after it happened ... nothing would have stopped my flying from Perth ... how was it??????
A bunch of yas? The entire crowd?
Sounds like a hell of a good time
Call
I just want to compliment the line "His music is not for everybody, because it isn't made for anybody. It's simply made." That's such a beautiful sentiment :)
Just heard it, it definitely isn't for everybody, cuz I can't see myself listening to something with no harmony or melody or anything similar.
I'm glad Sterling has demystified Jandek in recent years. The myth was getting too big and too inaccurate. When asked if he wanted people to "get" what he sings he replied "There's nothing to get". He's just a free improv musician and poet. He writes the words and improvises most of the music.These days his wife Sheila has an Instagram and posts videos of them dancing in their living room and stuff lol. He's just a normal guy.
That's really rad.
Love Jandek. Own several of his original lps. His music creates atmospheres and feelings unlike anything else I've heard
Blue corpse is one of my favorite records of his he’s got some great work if one is open to the avant garde
You lucky git
Can you imagine if Nardwuar interviewed him.... that would be so intense!
I would love to see it
soon,
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Nardwuar has reached out to him and he was just wasn't into the idea.
He wanted to...I kept him away.. for obvious reasons. Nar is often disrespectful on his interviews.
@@davidames1746 YOU kept him away??
Please do Les Rallizes Denudes next. Japanese Band where most of their music consists of freak guitar jams that sometimes drown out the band. Most of their recordings are live shows bootlegged. Their bassist was involved in a terrorist group. And no one has seen their front man since 1996.
I'll look into them, thanks for the recommendation!
@@deburke321 A video with your take on LRD would be so fascinating!
Oh my God that would be an incredible video!
Whoohoo! Let’s see them Denudes!
@@deburke321 I heartily endorse this endeavour.
Interesting...it's also interesting how Kurt Cobain knew and was inspired by such obscure music, even when the internet didn't exist.
I first heard of Jandek in a Spin magazine article in 1990 and got my first album from Corwood Industries, so he was being some mainstream media attention by then.
Open minds
Kurt was a huge music nerd so he probably seeked out obscure records intentionally
The Nirvana song where he says something about it being okay to eat fish because they’ve got no feelings reminds me of Jandek.
Aniquin Stark *sought out
Nice! A few years ago I was at I college radio station in SF and was looking thru the LPS and they had a ton of Jandek, on the covers of most of them, people from the station had written ( in permanent marker) DO NOT PLAY ON AIR, or, ONLY PLAY AFTER 2AM. I gave my friend a couple of records to play on air that night, but she had never heard of it and when she heard it, refused to play it. I dig jandek, but not everyone does, great video, thanks!!
Have you even done a video on Fela Kuti? Really interesting story with a lot of great music. Being from Nigeria he took the idea of "stick to your guns, never sell out your morals" to a whole different level. He released an album called "Zombie" that criticized the Nigerian government, the government had the army storm his house, almost beat him to death, and murder his mother. Sidenote his mother was a Nigerian revolutionary who helped fight for independence and is know as "the Mother of the Nation". The story is crazy and will make a great video plus the music is great to jam out to, don't let the long track lengths intimidate you.
Sad, but interesting.
Great suggestion
As an artist/musician as well, I'm often in fear that my creations wouldn't be accepted by the public and it really does affect my creativity. Most of all, it makes me forget why music is my passion: self expression. To "create, publish and move on" is truly inspirational. I can see why he's looked upon by a lot of artist and frankly, I'm one of them now too. Thank you 🙏
@Pason Jayne Oh my gosh, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ♥️♥️♥️ I appreciate you listening~
Do the same as buckethead,wear a mask,have a stage name,and stay anonymous
I instantly rushed to listen to his works and feel very much the same as you do after watching this.
@ angel darlin what's the name of your band? Where can I find your work? Love to discover new music
@@Raymond-js7xwlisten p o e t i t s, it's a strange shit
Make a video on the japanese band Hanatarash!! The vocalist sawed a dead cat in half and threw at the audience. He also drove a bulldozer through his venue, causing the entire concert to be cancelled
It was actually an earthmover that he drove, but otherwise this is true.
you can find Jandek on the streets of Salem Massachusetts playing his very strange music.
I appreciate that you don't give us the generic videos we've seen a thousand times on UA-cam. I love obscure shit like this. Cheers Deburke.
Man I love these music videos, every one of them is intriguing and informative and I've generally never heard of or know very little about the artist involved so keep up the good work dude you rock 🤘👍😎
Outsider music is beautiful and should be allowed to stay in the fringes, even though Jandek did a reverse Salinger.
Do you mean these Artists should not be allowed to make a living from their Art? What kind of fan are you??
@@davidames1746 No, I don't mean that.
BTW the San Francisco Units mentioned in the beginning were incredible, they shared the stages with The Germs, Chrome, Flipper, X and probably also Tuxedomoon... They called themselves punk but it's the pinnacle of the synthpunk, a very peculiar niche popular in California between the end of 70s and early 80s. I was so obsessed that I managed to track down fanzines and bootlegs... Im almost sure someone would be interested if Deburke 321 does a video about that scene
The units are brilliant. Scott and Rachels daughter Nina is an amazing solo artist, and She's also in the band Palberta , they're worth checking out if u haven't already
@@scrabbler255 whoah, palberta has played in my city, my good friends are in a band that played with them. they are awesome! now i have to know more about the Units!!
@@skye96 That's so cool!! What band ?
I wish I could be like this... to be unknown other than by my work
I understand You, but what is wrong with being famous of own work?
@@jareknowak8712 you worded it weirdly, but i get the meaning.
I wish for my work to be known, but I don't feel comfortable with of being famous like most famous people are. I only wish to live a quiet life.
@@samgafford2371
By "i understand You" i meant that i accept Your opinion. But i also was curious why.
Sorry, English is not my native language.
@@jareknowak8712 that's understandable
Please make more videos on obscure musicians. They’re always good. Liked
Hi, new to the channel and I've now binge watched A ton of videos. Great insight and chaos in the strange music scenes. While I don't know if I would sit and listen to his music I find it immensely interesting and great entertainment. Thanks for helping to keep the interwebs fun and not a "reaction" video of all the same music over and over! Keep livin' your best life!
YAS!! YOU ARE BACK!! I missed you!! Love you and your content!! 🖤
I just got this channel fed to me by the ever enigmatic algorithm and after watching a couple of your presentations I have subscribed. You sir are interesting and unique and I greatly appreciate your contributions. Thank you...
Really like this channel man...subscribed. Musical history is always fascinating.
Today he would just be a random SoundCloud artist.
The music industry is the attention industry, if you don’t get attention, you won’t make it in their eyes, but if you make music you love, you have made it in your eyes
i found this story pretty somewhat inspiring as someone who tries to make up their own original music but is always to afraid to post it i have been thinking of posting some of it under some sorta Alias or something like that! i have terrible social anxiety & constantly worry & am kinda afraid of what people think even though people have been telling me not to care my whole life! it doesn't help that i view myself as ugly!....
I am very interested in hearing your work. I understand what you are saying. Reading this I was reminded of artist Henry Darger. There was a beautiful documentary about his life. He was forgotten by the world due to his mental illness. He had no family so his art was his family. He spent 20 years creating art for himself. He recreated children's drawing books and his work was described as a cross between Walt Disney and the old testament. His work was shown after his death. I say all of that to say let your art be for you. You are the first audience and critic. I think we tend to find our worthiness in others instead of ourselves.
Interesting videos about music mysteris and stuff like that. Keep it coming.
There was an episode of Portlandia that had a skit in a record store, and there were Jandek albums on the shelves . :)
Please do an episode on the one and only Peter Hammill. A very unique niche artist who keeps releasing music since 1969. His body of work is enormous, very profound and completely uncompromising
Back in 2008 or 7, he came to Cincinnati. Got to see him live and it was a trip.
The venue that booked him always booked a lot of different, outsider, avant-garde, noisy musicians. CCCC (Japanese noise band) played there but I didn't get to see them. Sucks because they rarely play live.
What venue was this?
Yeah what venue? I was living in Cincy at the time.
@@Cropsykills Art damage lodge, I think. over in Northside.
@@d3ath31ng oh shit I remember that place.
I first heard of Jandek on the Dr. Demento show; usually placed around his then reoccuring segment in the late 80's, "The Audio Torture Chamber".
In a musical way, he created freedom in an art form
Yippee 😁😁😊, you're back! 👏👏👏👏
Great video, going to start looking for his stuff now. By the I would to see a video on Brute Force, think you would love his music and learning about him.
Love your videos. Someone here asked for Les Rallizes Denudes. I was thinking about this band since I started watching your artist series. Check out Daniel Johnston too, if you have the time.
watched the whole video twice. awesome content
Cool channel my dude 💯
My Auntie just gave me 5 lP records of this guy all still sealed never played, so I come here to hear what his music is, I like 👍
ur so lucky
You should do a morbid musicians on Nattramn, the black metal vocalist who was put into an insane asylum.
I think a lot of the stories surrounding him are just that. Stories. That being said Silencer and Diagnose: Lebensgefahr are both great.
Most of that was bullshit made up stories to create interest in the band. It was a gimmick
@Nicholas Alves e Silva yep great band but fake lore
But his brother really did attack a girl with an axe and were locked up in an mental institution where he later commited suicide.
In fact, Diagnose Leberngefahr is about being locked up and over-medicated. He has published a book with drawn pictures and poems called Grishjärta (pig heart in swedish) if somebody is interested in checking it out
So the urban legends go (someone else did a video on him. Apparently, a lot of the stories attributed to him are actually about his brother. Fucking awesome legend though. Supposedly attacking a little girl with an axe and being committed for it, and then cutting off his hands while in the asylum)
You should talk about Kettle Cadaver (more specifically, about the vocalist).
what an interesting story. thanks for making this!
Great post.....would love to see your treatment on Nick Drake and his music.
Have you seen Nick Frake: A Skind Too Few or Under Review? Both good documents. He was so terribly overlooked and so beautifully complex and heartfelt. 🖤
I sent him a letter a few months ago. This week I got a package from him. It featured a bunch of his CDs and no written reply. He’s a real generous guy.
Hell yes! Just what I needed before bed!
That was very interesting. Thank you.
He was also not billed on the Glasgow festival and played first at a time before anyone was supposed to be playing. A Wire magazine writer thought it was some sort of Jandek want-to-be but then realized it was Jandek. Also, Dave & Buster's.
Anyone else find Jandek from Greaf? Greaf always samples him and shit and he made an album called “Ready for the House II”
Honestly, I have never heard Jandeks’ first album,or any other Jandek album for this matter, but if you have never heard Old Skull then I wouldn’t say his first album is the worst album ever made.
Just discovered this phenomenon and I'm kinda bummed out That his music isn't on jukeboxes. You don't even have to step foot in an establishment these days to use jukebox credits from your phone. Just drop 50 bucks on a ton of Jandek somewhere and walk away
pretty interesting artist. Buckethead or Merzbow would be interesting to explore for future videos.
I made an album about the pandemic and how my anxiety got worse and worse. I often listen to music in order to keep myself sane, and I’ve listened to some pretty strange albums just to keep me going
“The year was 1978” shows 1930s videos with 30s music.
Lol
Glasgow Sunday? Well that makes me proud to be from there.
what i, personally, dislike about jandek the most is not his music itself, it's the cult of personality surrounding him wherein so many proclaim his genius simply because being into it suggests a degree of savvy or sophistication in the listener, when in fact it merely indulges the listeners pretensions and allows them to convince themselves they're into something that only the truly discerning understand. his work is unremarkable, but i don't fault him for that, it's the listeners that introduce the entire "emperor has no clothes" dynamic that is distasteful.
He sings about ghosts and memories and the ghosts of memories. Some of his songs are genuinely moving.
Recently bought a vinyl that is signed by him to a individual named Helen. So glad I’ve bought something he has touched. A really big inspiration to my own music.
Free Spirit and I love it how he is his own person who has no limit and need for approval from the outside world and people ❤💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏❤😊🗣🗣🗣❤
Interesting great video 👍📸
Love your videos! You might enjoy looking into an artist named Chad Fontaime. He lived on the streets but made some of the realist music out there. He passed away in 2016. I'd love to get him more exposure & see what yoi could fimd out aboit him.
I bought some Jandek lp's from Forced Exposure in the late 90's. I kept the Charalambides and Dead C ones but got rid of the Yawndek ones.
If you like early Sentridoh without the hooks and riffs Corwood is the place for you !
That description actually sounds intriguing.
Is there anywhere where you can listen to his music on a streaming service? I wanna listen but I can’t find it anywhere lmao
This guy is soooo coooool he has unlimited creative freedom, no creative constraints whatsoever, like a free blowing wind with nothing in its way.........
First thing I said when I listened to "Naked in the Afternoon" was it felt like "Hurt" by Nine inche nails. I wonder if they was inspired by this too? the off key instruments and way its sang it's very similar in many respects.
Outsider art is always an interesting thing to experience
What is up with the male flasher at 12:08? Is that what goes down ant Jandek shows? haha
You should definitely look up mr. Mikael Nilsson. A man with an unorthodox music and image. His persona is shrouded in many crazy and gory gossips which may or may not be true. To convince you that he was quite exceptional, allegedly, he recorded one of his projects in a coffin.
Can you please cover Imam Alimsultanov, he was a Chechen singer and bard who died in 1996, a lot of the information is hard to get, but I think you'll find it interesting especially with the archive footage, and catalogue of about 50 songs available online in various qualities.
Needs more views
That first song you played sounds like something Primus would do
Primus will be my first show since the beginning of the pandemic.
My dude Jandek looks like van Gogh
there’s a producer called Greaf who is heavily inspired by Jandeks art style
I suggest Roky Erickson as next topic
Why is most of his music not on apple music? How long did he stay completely anonymous for? Is it known for sure who he is? If not, how, considering he's performed live and anyone can contact him? Is he still making music? What does the word jandek mean?
nice take thank you.
I think Helsinki Saturday's cover photo is from Halkolaituri, Helsinki, Finland.
Just a generic comment for the algorithm
Can you make one on diamanda galas?
Can hear the velvet underground and Lou reed influence.
Ah yes, the year 1978 when early Jazz music and black and white pictures were popular 😓
Why is Providence featured in this video? Is there a connection?
Oooooooo you have to do Nattramn next!
Love his music or hate it, Jandek has to be respected for following his own vision.
I'd sure like to read those books.
Should make a video on Tonetta. It's very clear some popular artists have taken inspiration from him, such as Mac DeMarco.
Would be nice if his music is available on streaming services.
I listened to one of his songs without knowing any of this and I enjoyed it. Should I be worried?
Can you do one on Letallis from the band ( ... ) ?
He seems like a cool dude
....and I thought my music was obscure....
I don't recall ever having heard him, or of him. But, hey- we all march to the beat of a different drummer.. ☺
The Emperors New Clothes!
Okay, maybe you can’t say that something is “not art“ but you can definitely identify when something is shite and requires no skill to create.
Saying it’s the best thing ever is comically pretentious.
Seen Jandek twice in completely different settings and line up.
These types of people and bands inspire all those bands that millions love those artists have inspirations and its usually people like these but these artists want rich and fame while the weird musicians who dont get credit just want to create
the man from cordwood.🔥
Corwood
damn never expected to see a video about jandek lmao
I'm confused is Stirling jandek because, sometimes towards the end the names are kinda interchangeable, or they working together?
yes stirling smith is Jandek
Art for arts sake. Very interesting, which is probably why.
Nice
The background track is so familiar…by spose? I can’t remember. It’s called rain showers or something.
Yo man you should make a horror gaming channel #bringbackdeburkegaming
