Jandek documentary? Surely, this can't be a theatrical release, can it?

Man, that's hilarious. I've never even heard of this thing before, but I know two of the people in that clip! (the long form one)

The second guy that appears on there is kind of a friend of mine, but man, he sounds like a tool. "you have to reevaluate what your assumptions are about music"? Please shoot me. The guy w/ long hair towards the end is Jake Austen, the guy that publishes Roctober...

Yeah it seems absurd in a "Blair Witch Project" type of way but Its supposed to come out in May. I also heard something about the makers trying to get the film in Cannes,so take that how you wish. But I can't wait to see it and I also wonder_what_does_jandek_think??

this doesn't look nearly as good as my friend Nick's totally made-up 10-minute documentary about him, where Corwood is represented by dark-suited heavies who threaten to get Jandek's fey uncle (?) sacked unless Jandek makes more music. now i know the reality: they're web programmers!

meh. I think the film is going to be ace. The trailer kicks ass.

That's not Jad Fair being interviewed at 1:15, is it?

i'm pretty sure it isn't

if the doc gets through to a multiplex near you then the question becomes: will I be able to buy the soundtrack?

As an $80 box set, obv.

The voice-over voice at the very beginning is mine (reading a thing I'd written a couple of years before, hence the sort of stilted tone)...

So, have you seen the whole thing, Doug?

CAN'T WAIT.

Speaking of which, whatever happened with that Shaggs movie? Did Tom Cruise ever exercise his option to make it? Now that and "Jandek On Corwood" would be a great double bill. (Throw in "The Band That Would Be King" and let's make it a triple-feature.)
