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.

I just have to add that I grin every time I see "JANDEK: OVERPOWERED BY FUNK" in Site New Answers

Thank you.

guys this is not really very funky. good bass player, though.

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

^^^^^^^^ OTM.
Still can't wrap my head around this one, but I'm loving every second of it.

I await the reaction of David Keenan.

I love that side-stepping dance move he pulls, that's just like how my dad dances.
― The Unbearable Skegness of Being (NickB), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 23:29 (fifteen years ago) link
do you think ... Jandek might be your dad?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 23:31 (fifteen years ago) link
jokes, but wouldn't that be the BEST.
this is kinda satisfying on another level too
because i guess jandek being who he is i like the fact that he doesn't even seem the conscious of indie rock type jive, like he always plays really pro gear and shit like the rich old dude probably is...this sort of seems perverse in that same way
― d20 riot tard (M@tt He1ges0n), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 23:32 (fifteen years ago) link
If that were my dad, he would have followed through with pointy hand gestures.
Is Jandek rich? Surely not through his music?
― The Unbearable Skegness of Being (NickB), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 23:38 (fifteen years ago) link
wikipedia implies he is a stockbroker or something
― caek, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 23:42 (fifteen years ago) link
this sounds like primus
― 6335, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 04:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Pls to someone photshop Jandek into promo photos of 24/7 Spyz, Dan Reed Network, Fishbone, Level 42 etc:

jandek masterminded the world financial meltdown as an art project

I'm glad that he looks happy, but it's not the best jam.

i was thinking Primus too, actually

yeah this was the best show i ever saw. dude is like 4 years behind on releasing the live shows tho. killin me.
― adam, Monday, 10 May 2010 21:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah - The Rep From Corwood needs to expedite those live releases. One of the upcoming releases will have Flower/Corsano backin' him up! I salivate.

Does he release every single live show as an album these days?
