Yeah Crutis told me about the You Tube thing here, and that is FUNKAY. I told him Rick James would be proud, and I meant it.

that first video is an instant classic. is it just me or does it seem like everyone got laid that night?

this is pretty wack you guys, but i guess i don't "get" jandek
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 02:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Nah, I don't get him either, dude. But this is funkay.

xxp about availability on Dime: not yet, I'm sure Corwood will release it soon enough.
upon closer viewing of the videos this is even more awesome than I first suspected.

I mean to the point that he better call A Certain Ratio on the phone and make sure they're okay with this.

Let's clear it with the funkmasters first. No offence.

Yeah, I mean, if the guitar player was Dave Navarro, this would be somewhere between boring and horrible, no two ways about it. But it's Jandek.
― Mark, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 02:44 (fifteen years ago) link
Clip 2 confirms the spiritual ancestors of Dave Navarro are indeed alive and well

Bimble I don't know how to break this to you but A Certain Ratio did not invent funk

what's funny is the bass and drummer prolly dress more like jandek than any of his previous band mates have

I loved it, except for that skinny guy at the front. Who was he?

this is so awesome it brought a tear to my eye :) Jandek gigs need more dancing, more drunk audiences, more girls! :)
― Ludo, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 08:08 (fifteen years ago) link
First clip is a hundred different kinds of awesome. Kinda reminds me of 80s-era King Crimson ("Thela Hun Ginjeet," etc.)
― Chris Barrus (Elvis Telecom), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 10:01 (fifteen years ago) link
Ten years ago, this would have been just as ludicrously unlikely as the idea of Staple-Tone.

A Certain Ratio invented the funk for pasty white guys, you can't forget that.
first video is removed? Jandek having second thoughts? ;)
― Ludo, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 12:23 (fifteen years ago) link
table, aren't you oberlin? wobc had a complete set of Jandek vinyl since the early 90s at least.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 12:32 (fifteen years ago) link
and sorry bimble, but The Contortions invented the funk for pasty white guys!
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 12:33 (fifteen years ago) link
clearly, jandek invented the funk for pasty white guys. but he did not tell anyone about it until now.

from a friend earlier today:
"It's like Max Headroom meets Adrian Belew with the audience rendered by a mumblecore version of The Sims."

I've never listened to Jandek but this is pretty great.
― Local Garda, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 16:34 (fifteen years ago) link
The first 45 seconds sound almost exactly like my Dad getting mad because he can't find his car keys while the tv blasts a really loud episode of "Seinfeld" in the background.

It's sorta quite SST isn't it? Reminded me of some of Joe Baiza's bands.

dvd was shot very corwoodly. not in a good way tbh.
listening to it again there's definitely some james blood ulmer, some frat dude funk rock, and lots of prince's the undertaker.

getting back into jandek in a big way. not really that interested in the funk tbh
