i've always been a little bit partial to White Box Requiem for some reason. Modern Dances too for some unhinged Jank&Nance action

The first voice you hear in that trailer belongs to ilx0r's own Douglas Wolk!

''But...will this open our boy up to a lame ass yuppie sorta mass appeal, of diletante assholes who will treat him like some kind of pet cause and joust us over the albums on ebay?''

well it probably won't happen bcz it simply is too obscure i think. I still haven't heard any jandek but I'll probably get round to it soon.

i'm not the artistic one in this house. How do you make a stencil out of something printed out from a computer? Do you have to get an exacto knife and cut it yrself?

yeah exactly, you print and cut it yourself. as it says on the site you need to glue the print-out stencil template to cardstock and then cut. its pretty amazing how good it looks.

Can anyone tell me who the other people talking on the trailer are?

― hamish (hamish), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 19:08 (twenty years ago) link

The woman with the glasses is Angela from Cambridge, MA record store Twisted Village. I believe that is the shop she is in there, yes.

The guy with long black hair speaking towards the end is Jake Austen, who publishes Roctober.

According to the websiite they can show the movie before the Toronto festival but they can't distribute any DVD/Videos. My guess is that some of the more adventerous places will screen this soon.

What track is being played in the trailer?

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Thursday, 8 May 2003 04:16 (twenty years ago) link

There are a few tracks on it - the only one i can name at the moment is They Told me About You from Ready for the House.

ten years pass...

The Minneapolis Underground Film Festival will be screening the documentary about Jandek called I Know You Well at the St. Anthony Main Theaters on Saturday, Oct. 10th at 1:00 p.m.. This film was shot around Jandek's two Minnesota performances in 2012 and 2013.

The filmmakers were given some up-close, behind-the-scenes access to both the Mankato and Minneapolis Jandek shows. You'll get a glimpse into the process of how these shows were developed and rehearsed, and then see actual footage from the performances. There is also extensive interview footage with "The Rep" in his hometown of Houston that reveals his thoughts on music and performance.
