This is the weirdest Jandek album in forever. It's just acoustic and voice but... I dunno. There's something different about it. For starters, there's a 24 minute song on it with Jandek just rambling about all this insane shit. The last 10 seconds of the song have an actual repeated riff. Really took me offguard. Then there's a song with these lyrics:
DEFLECT THE BARBARIANS
YOU CAN'T LET NOBODY TAKE YOUR SOUL
YOU GOT YOUR HEAD STONED AT 9 YEARS OLD AND YOU'RE BLEEDING FROM YOUR HEAD AND ALBERT TAKES HIS BLUE SHIRT FROM OFF HIS BACK AND WRAPS HIS STONE.. BLOOD... HEAD.. IN HIS SHIRT AND SAYS COME ON LET'S GO AND WE GO TO HIS HOUSE TO HIS STREET AND HIS MOTHER STOPPED THE PROCESS OF MY DEMISE
This album's insane! I think it's his 60th. I'm getting to the point where Jandek is the only musician whose music I'm really excited to listen to whenever he drops a new album. I'm sure you all agree. Enjoy! I wrote some lyrics out while listening.
I got to be like ice
Frozen up in time
I can't ever change
It sure is hard to work with less
I want it almost dry
I want you to try
try
While I go through the motions
And I move about from various places
I'm at my home
It's my home there, can't be no heavy guy out there
You've got to vanquish your memories and remember me
I'm the only thing that exists and you're all around me I'm the center of the universe you are everything else
I'm so glad I know you
If it's between 5:30 and 6:00 PM
You know I'll be drinking your water as I swim in your sea
It's such good exercise
I'm a powerful me
And I know that you like it, this power I got
Don't feel too good
Or you'll be feeling bad
Just take it easy
Don't get glad
Or don't get sad
I'm so enthralled
It ain't good
No... bad
I'll be above it all
If that's where you live
I live with you
There's no difference there about the eagle, yes, into you
I can't find myself and I don't want to
I'm inside of you
And I'll .......
I need you
Perfect
That's what you are
Perfect
Perfect
Yeaaaaaaah-wheeeeeee-whoaaaaaaa
Kill all the bad things
And boom your back again
You're saying that you worked
I supposed to do this, that
But you don't understand
I don't have to change
And if I break my body
It's broken and you hate who I am
It's a little place I can go
For some kind of thrill *punches guitar*
Exotic and dangerous
Pestulent, maybe? I dunno
But I know I can surpass threats
If I'm ... got to know ... how you pass time in that place
So, intrigue?
But I don't have to move
I'm stuck in you
But I'll take you with me
You won't show yourself
And we got
GOD
And we don't pose a threat
And we are opposite
We've come through the earth and you can see easy we're something different today we can go easy but when we survive the pestulence and the river to cross, to get to that desert on the last part of the river
If you go north
It's sand and sun
but on the other side
it's a river going up and you go with it!
YOU'RE WHERE THE WATER STARTS AGAIN
I got to tell you
How my head swings low
And I got to love my life
It's my life
You see?
I leave myself before you
Trample me down
I'm gone for you
I disappear
I divided and conquered
I lead waste to your territory
You loved me for that
I got certain recollections of the rocks and things
I say, "Bye bye bye."
I say, "Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee byyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeee."
*actual riff that sounds like a bit of "musical talent" was involved in making it*
Wow!
