Well... Jandek was like an out of tune metronome and Thurston brought the T-bone. Thurston decsontructing a rock song all night, while Jandek played the ultimate stripped down and minimalist other rock song at the same time. Wish Jandek had sung or maybe John Cale had shown up on viola.
Thurston delivered the goods better than in many a collaboration I've listened to, while Jandek was nowhere near as riveting as four years ago in the same room as a true leader.
Later that night I saw Baby Dee. Portland is definitely a town for weirdos.
