  • There are many large scale conspiracy theories out there about the Titanic, Elvis, or even Joe Rogan. Jandek on the other hand is one of the least understood and smallest scale conspiracies, but it's also one of the most interesting. His vibe is disturbing, unsettling, and downright creepy. Who is Jandek?

    Very interesting, never heard of Jandek before but he seems to be a genuine artist, even though his music is very 'special'

    This video popped up and as a fan of all things outsider I had to click though familiar with the enigma that is Jandek. I just want to say how impressed I was with your research and editing. I hope you continue to grow and gain more fans.

    The dude is nothing short of a marketing genius - anything less would've made it impossible for music this inaccessible to reach such a level of notoriety. He knew very well that getting people to endlessly speculate about you because of the artificial mystery you had created can be just as effective as a large-scale, high-budget PR campaign - obviously he never made it big, but he made it surprisingly big for how extraordinarily weird his music is.
    He gave an interview to Wire in '14, and he was clearly playing a character there, it was almost like he was doing a Mark E Smith bit. He went on disjointed rambles about nothing, he seemed bitter and egotistical, and it all really fit his music, but it was in vast contrast with literally every single other interaction he had with people in real life. Anyone who's organized or played in a Jandek performance, or just met him at one of his shows will describe him as shy, unassuming, and very kind. He's just a normal dude who likes making weird music.
    Blue Corpse is my favorite album from him.

    I love these types of mysteries, keep me glued to the screen when done well, and I was glued.

    Judging by the quality of this video, I thought this would be from a million subs channel, a 100k view video, but its only 250 views. Why? This is some disrupt level quality

    I played with him in Houston and the UK, definitely one the coolest people I've ever known

    This is great!!! I love obscure artists. I recently was introduced to R. Stevie Moore's music by a music industry friend. I like to think my music is similarly obscure.

    Jandek made it onto my turntable early 90’s….in England. Then it was strange. You weren’t even born then. There was no internet. No film of him . No interview. No radio play. Just some reviews in an obscure American magazine called Forced Exposure that had made it to England. I still have those records. You only need one and that’s You Walk Alone. His CDs sound crap so good luck finding this one on record 😂
