We all knew and loved Jandek's (click here for an overview from Seth Tisue if you aren't up on it) music for years, remember the thrill of discovering a new record that was available? Well, even if not, there was the thrill of seeing Jandek written up in Songs in the Key of Z (which is a highly recommended written take on outsider music).
Jandek, being anonymous, was an ideal outsider.
Now however, with a documentary film, Jandek on Corwood, and even Jandek playing LIVE in Glasgow, Jandek is no longer anonymous. Heck, he even seemed "happy and godlike" according to David Tibet (of Current 93 etc.).
Very interesting indeed. The musical outsider coming in from the cold, to the love and respect of a very weird bunch of folks.
