Thanks a ton, ASP. I've been looking for those last two on slsk for a while now with no luck.
I will be a happy man today if Not Hunting for Meaning is even 75% as good as Skirting the Edge. |
No problem, anything for a fellow 'dekhead.

Not Hunting for Meaning simply rules. Jandek is not fucking around this time!

1.) Front Porch Shimmy
Front porch shimmy Flying in a chair I don’t need nothing Just the picture in my eye I got you, baby A thousand times It’s turning my mind I got no restraint Front porch shimmy Flying in a chair The sounds and the colors The temperature I got me moving All over town The front porch shimmy Flying in a chair Oh, what’s that now? Just a little thing The front porch shimmy Just a little thing 2.) Stay Me Here I don’t like to go out I stay me here I got some food I got some drink I got facilities And my bed to lay me down I know the territory I can see all around It’s not so bad It’s the best I have I don’t think about it Just do my job I don’t like to go out Just stay me here I got my work and my pleasure Passing the afternoon With the light and the dark I live my life I don’t like to go out I stay me here 3.) Silent Wander The long lasted years Spitting out the days Dropping anywhere to sleep Wild fruit and fish Dreaming with wits about Not seeing any path It could’ve been ne’er (air?) walked on There was no way to know The warnings were there Animal tracks But it was just a passing notice The darkness and the silence Perhaps the city was somewhere looming Water in the stream was cold The air so thin Falling down mountains Body rolled into a ball For all that classical knowledge It seemed so sensuous Light years away In a pocket of memory The shadow of something Careening into the future Just as the idea came And popped into another spent bubble There was no way through the tall grass Not beaten nor trodden But what did it matter? The sought after was not to be found The contemplation was scattered Ravaged and torn at the seams The country lanes were far away The grace of an arrow Shot to this place Not hunting for meaning That dissolved long ago The way was spurious Fleetingly peaking in the next vista Substantial connectors disappeared The violence had ceased Now the silent wander persisted Only flashes surfaced On the venture lasted With no reason to stop The memberships forgotten The precipice forsaken Stranded on the self-created island That wasn’t on the map Hidden genetics of fortitude Danced in the passing hours It really wasn’t disagreeable Commingled in the stars and sand A bludgeon blacked-out reality At least the way it was The necessary operation Was taking place right now Cold and concealed Scalpeled like a coma >From the concrete day to day An endangered species Lurking and prowling Requesting the sustenance Of a rain-down day Clamor and bolts Big rocks along the gorge Cranial visions Those persons seen those days ago Who sent them? Never mind Time was only an inkling The corporal feeling continued Eventually civilization would intervene Sensitivities kept saying so It didn’t mean the end Just switching gears To the steel and glass Of a contrary wind Convoluted and tortuous It seemed all far away >From the colors and the scents And the utter lack of glory Positions in the preamble Panoply, integral The way to be on top Was fall to the depths uncharted They didn’t pass out choice cards Somehow you just found yourself there The table in the canyon All the sky falling down Sounds in the thicket Rainbows for a bridge The morning was the evening Forsaken and cast away The flash that she lives Disappeared instantly Common and crass The creature groveled The quality frozen Genealogy was lucky Its wings prevented death The gangly monster was infuriated Stomping and pacing ineffectively The gates of the passage way were keyed by rebirth Without due evil striking to the core Obligations bade the forgetful dilemma Process the direction And go on The stroll of a lifetime The carnage had been done Blotted and dried to dust The air was naked Truncated and serene The callous spirit Grounded to a pebble Burst out so powerful It filled the sky with stones Brilliant in the night sky Seen from the bed of dirt Ah, but the eyes were a gift Driven to see all this and know the time that wasn’t As clear as the time that was Castigated and unable Nothing but movement Ambling tomorrow Knocking somewhere A door that smitherined To make all the dwellings that would be |
[jandekfahey] okay, i couldn't make this up if i tried
[jandekfahey] someone must have jandek in their wishlist on soulseek [jandekfahey] as soon as i got on here someone queued the new albums [jandekfahey] and i browsed them [jandekfahey] and all their stuff is funk [jandekfahey] all their shared files is james brown and funk shit in general [jandekfahey] jandek must be huge with the funk crowd now |
Saw him twice in two days last week on his N.Ireland tour. Wonderful stuff!
|
he still hasnt clicked with me at all.....
|
Wow, he sounds really crazed and loony on the first two tracks. I'm not into it as much as Skirting the Edge or even Myth of Blue Icicles, but it's still pretty good. "Silent Wander" is nearly as great as "I Know My Name."
I think this album might be his shortest too. |
Jandek is in my top 20 favorite musicians of all time, but let me say, he's the absolute worst musician, ever, to listen to while on ACID.
Seriously -- it is annoying and downright hilarious to listen to, instead of introspective and beautiful like it normally is. Now, listening to Jandek on DXM is otherworldly... |
I saw him do a piano show.
That blew my freaking mind |
