Jandek

by John

Former WTJU DJ and music journalism Marc Masters wrote a great piece on the enigmatic musician Jandek for North Carolina’s Independent Weekly. It includes an “interview” with Jandek, as well as some words of wisdom from John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats. I haven’t listened to many of Jandek’s records, but I did have a chance to see him perform live, and I wrote about it for The Declaration back in college. (Thank’s to Dominic for pointing me towards Masters’ article.)
