Your Turn To Fall

Jandek album #7, Your Turn To Fall. Released in 1983.

Another album of all acoustic guitar and vocals, another disc of short songs. This one's a bit of a downer (as if the others aren't?). There's a color cover of a painted wooden desk with a guitar case next to it. There are two instrumentals, one being "New String". Jandek's string-stretching technique? Doesn't sound that much different from any of his other single-note melodies, except that one string is tuned to a very low pitch.
Recording quality of some of these is exceptionally low-fi, especially the last cut, "They Knew My Game". I wonder if there is ever a second take for a Jandek song, or if he just saves every take and releases it on another record?
Oh, yeah: the one really different track is "John Plays Drums". The same lyrics as "Nancy Sings", but with Jandek singing and playing, and someone on drums randomly pounding away madly with no synchronization whatsoever to the rest of the music on the track. What the hell?? Maybe "John" begged him to let him play drums on his record. What a guy.

I know somewhere Dr. Clayton Forrester is watching me during this experiment, and he's not happy with the results. I'm nowhere near as funny as those guys Joel and Mike with the two robots. If you don't get that joke, I sentence you to watch a DVD of Mystery Science Theater 3000, STAT!
