Jandek - What Can I Say, What Can I Sing

[IamWatchingyourvids]

@gubbbies Well, if that is what you get out of what I said, then sure. Next time I will only speak about atonal guitars and guys who can't sing very well. I guess you are not really one for context.

[IamWatchingyourvids]

The thing about Jandek is that he is incompatible with the internet. During the 80's and 90's he was a complete mystery that you rarely heard mentioned except by people who were always much cooler than you. You could order his records, and that was pretty much it. He was actively producing records, and actively avoiding any fame or even basic recognition. It was better that way.

you don't even have to know how to play a guitar to play this song....

[Spudboy41]

FUNKY

[ineedanewhead]

fuck everyone that feels compelled to talk shit about this song. you are all morons!

[Manusturbo]

i hate that all you post internet hipster morons are even commenting on this. you guys don't even give a shit- this is something really considered and conceptually coherent which one man has dedicated his entire life to, why don't you guys show some autonomy of thought and talk about it on its own terms.

[lurch321]

After I heard this, my first reaction was "what can I say?"

[citizencream]

holy fuck. this is too fucking insane.

[efwiz]

Wow. This is, like, a bad joke.

[xxMassMurderer1235xx]

@efwiz This is no joke.

[TheMeEvan]

soundtrack of a slow rape.

[monfilars]

[nonlifethreatening]

Sweet Mama. What fresh hell is this?

2 deep 4 me

[ffranzos]

This is "Outsider" music. That's the term.

[thepainrabbit]

Drugs can be dangerous. Sounds like someone coming down off of a pint of bad acid.

[Lamvesp]

What can I say? A load of fucking tosh and bollocks.

[edwardpenishandz]

What genre of music would this be considered?

[DEATHDEVOURED]

@edwardpenishandz avante garde without the music

[theghostofchristmasp]

@edwardpenishandz Mainly UK Funky, but with a strong old school Grime vibe pullin' it hard.. a kind of beat-driven 6 Step, nestling in a puddle of Neo Moan Wave; A splash of Proto Punk trapped in the birth canal of the mother of IDM. Sort of...

[derschwarzeengel1]

@theghostofchristmasp I'm positive when he played and created music he wasn't aiming to be categorized any of those labels. In especially, Neo Moan Wave to UK Funky.

[SeagullTheFreegull]

@theghostofchristmasp @edwardpenishandz or just uh, music? what is it with people needing to put everything in boxes

[SeagullTheFreegull]

[Lamvesp]

@PorroFirst But only after you've pulled all your teeth out with a rusty pair of pliers without a local anaesthetic.
