Tonight, semi-reclusive recording artist Jandek plays Tulane’s Dixon Hall Annex at 7 p.m. I could try to explain this compulsive, genuinely independent musician and his personal relationship with musical conventions, but Alex Cook does a better job here:

Jandek’s music, to me, is like Throbbing Gristle or Anton Webern or Albert Ayler or Philip Glass, once you get on that particular singular wavelength you really can’t get off until you ride it through. He’s someone I’ve been interested in, both the music and the mythos, for about 20 years now
