These Jandek album pages linked from here seem to be taken word for word from http://tisue.net/jandek/discog.html#0770 Has permission been given to add to wikipedia? quercus robur 00:22 17 May 2003 (UTC)
- Vicki mentioned this to the author, and he replied on her talk page (it's right at the top at present): "Authors have been contacted, and have agreed." For what it's worth, I exchanged a couple of emails with the guy who wrote these articles, and I believe it's all legit, but we could always email the bloke whose webpage that is and get him to put it in writing so we can copy his permission here. --Camembert (who ordered a pile of Jandek albums the other day)

- Let me know what they are like- I was reading an article in a book recently which wasn't sure if Jandek was trully 'outsider music' or just a mentally unstable socail misfit who was being humoured and exploited for 'freak show' value, the article made the same case about the relationship between Frank Zappa and Wildman Fischer- I can't remember what the book was called, but it had Crass in it as well, and The Raincoats... quercus robur 10:11 17 May 2003 (UTC)

- The book you're thinking of is "Unknown Legends of Rock & Roll" by Richie Unterberger, who has also written liner notes for the Holy Modal Rounders, among others. (From a newbie who still doesn't know how to format his comments).

[edit] Real name?
I have heard it is Sterling R. Smith, is this true?--130.65.240.14 06:40, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- The first ever review of a Jandek album, for Ready For The House in Op magazine, identifies him as Sterling Smith. (See Seth Tisue's site for a copy of that review) So unless theres' evidence to the contrary, I'd say that Sterling R. Smith is about right. -- Cjmarsicano 06:43, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Corwood defunct? and Texas Monthly link
Why is Corwood's page in the defunct record label category? they just put out two new CDs this month. and the webarchive link to the interview is broken. 70.229.8.215 22:18, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- That link to the TM article is iffy. I just removed the defunct record label category from the Corwood article. Thanks for bringing it up Cjmarsicano 05:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kurt Cobain
Minor point, but was Cobain really a fan? We all know his infamous quote on J-man, but I've never heard anything about him liking the music. He probably didn't mean himself when he called Jandek-fans 'pretentious', right? --Leo44 (talk) 23:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MySpace?
Is this[1] real, or a fan MySpace?--Fallout boy 23:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- I really doubt that's for real.--Cúchullain t/c 01:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Loren Mazzacane Connors
Hi Jandek people - I'm trying to redo out the Connors page (it was mostly cut-and-paste from his website), and one of the things it says (and which I've currently left in the article) is that Jandek and Connors have collaborated. Can anyone confirm or deny? Cheers, Sam Clark 17:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, they've played live together three times. --SethTisue 02:35, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
