Nine-Thirty
Jandek album #10, Nine-Thirty. Released in 1985.
Ten albums in eight years. What other artist can boast that? Not many. But then, not many make music the same way Jandek does. This is another acoustic album, but the songs actually do have a bit of variance in them. Jandek is using the fretboard of the guitar more, and on one track he's even playing one not and bending the string. The voice and the playing are starting to work with each other in this unique form of music. The lyrics talk a lot about traveling, and different locations. "This Is A Death Dream" is the big introspective one to listen to, as if the title isn't obvious enough. Oh, and the song "Oh Jenny" was released on an earlier Jandek album. For some unknown reason, he redoes it here.
The D.Verada album is OUT. It's a 75 minute instrumental blast of sounds, rhythms and solos. You can buy a copy by going to the veebosonic website , which is in it's very infancy, but promises to grow like a weed in the days and weeks to come. Check it.
Christmas was great. My sweetheart got me an LCD monitor for my desktop machine, cool as hell and saves energy and $$. Did I mention I like her a lot? I think I might keep her for a while. The rest is secret (big smile).
Now on to the NEXT Jandek album. Believe it or not, he just released another one. Damn! Four albums in 2004?? Stay alive in double-oh five!
