Jandek - I'll Sit Alone And Think A Lot About You

[@keironhiggspoet]

One of them late at night, winter slowburners thinking about someone you miss or admire from afat. Jandek can be irritating listen sometimes, but its interesting to listen to due to his often strange and expansive back catalogue, and there's always gems like this. a true curious enigma.

[@statesofinertia]

I love how the guitar and drums are playing completely off with each other then they (by Jandek standards) get close to syncing but only to fall out again soon after. Then just as it sounds like its coming 'together' he quickly upsets the momentary order and it is all off again. Such a teaser that 'ol Jandek...

Thanks Deeper

[@MistahEdwardus]

I heard this in a dream once.

[@JoesCaribbeanVanLife]

Yeah, just like right now.

[@joewhite5803]

I'm ten years old and i LOVE Jandek!!

[@Alex-pi8sh]

Joe White that’s not healthy...

[@Alex-pi8sh]

I recommend listening to classicals and jazz at young ages

[@zzzzzz-ms5gy]

stay safe kid

[@cameronwebb9045]

Alex I know you said this almost half a year ago, I just can't resist saying how stupid and pretentious that advice is

[@sofiaromerogarcia5241]

Well I'm 14 years old and I also like jandek

[@inevernotice]

when i first listened to this i was negative, but now that i sit alone and think, this is gold.

[@jessicabarone9560]

I'm like 667. I have dispelled the evil. And also this song is great. I feel like just another meaningless person on a tiny planet that's nothing but a dust particle in an endless universe. What a bittersweet life... this brings me to simpler times of laughing and playing in the sun when I was younger when life was not complicated. Wish I could go back there again :(

[@sychosnake]

wow this is one of the best jandek songs ive ever heard. beautiful

[@MrKrisstain]

I keep coming back to this one.

[@uselessaccount9929]

It's one of those days

[@DRAWKCABLLA]

Its deeper than going deeper

[@vick207]

Beautiful

[@TheMoonunit13]

Makes me feel special when I'm the only commentator on a vid. Jandek wrote my life.

[@TJR-ju8dj]

You know what’s wild i was playing my ukulele like this before. I jus picked it up and started playing and singing. Seems like something i would sing. It was similar like my “you’re in my dreams”

[@barrette.lediard4010]

This song will always remind me of coming down off of devastating Coke highs (in no way a positive thing)

[@lauraeiriarte]

i know

[@stefangeorge2844]

Barrett Lediard yeah pretty much always surreal and negative for me

[@WithAQuickness]

damn.

[@romeosyne]

This comment could be a really great song title I think Even the parenthetical works in a song title as you know

[@garagerockguy2653]

Revolutionary

[@BuddAlden]

Fascinating.

[@autism1151]

Made me cry

[@markwheatley190]

I thought I’d dropped off at the time I heard this, falling in to the mind stratosphere but no, I wasn’t. Cool, it’s very pleasant I like it. More please 👍

[@wbenyamin]

WOW !!!!!!!

[@dugitomi]

that is the most intelligent comment i have read underneath a youtube video in a very long time. thank you very much for the insight and take care. muchas gracias y saludos desde Tokio.

[@mothbits]

Simply marvelous

[@jfrey1]

Went top twenty on Mars

[@RobotBrahman]

Gimme some of that special!

[@gta1457]

Heard of this from “deeper” a young youtube killer!!!

[@everyvillainislemons7583]

What?

[@Xx_Eric_was_Here_xX]

@@everyvillainislemons7583 i think they mean it appears in one of these videos: kzbin.infovideos not sure which one or if this is what they were even talking about for sure

[@ActionGal]

The Gable Worms brought me here and i'm glad💛✨

[@1funeral2many9]

theres a theory out there that this guy singing (whose generally considered to be some guy called 'eddie' and not jandek himself) actually IS jandek, but these vocals were recorded when he was much older as opposed to the stuff where he sings in this high pitch whine. hell the guitar playing on this song sounds like it was done on the spot and there are little 'mistakes' in there so i like to believe this is true.

[@72dodge340]

Watch (or listen to) some of his live shows.

[@GristlyAdams]

Drums!

[@Tapryne]

you evolved into: PIKACHU !!!! congratulations

[@JesusLovesHisSheep]

Why is his music so hard to find

[@idis1abad]

._. wat dat?... O_O oh lawd dat sound good

[@vincent-lane]

dat sound real good

[@gemini6937]

oh my fuckin' god ♥

[@Sarah-ho3fc]

Why isn't this on Spotify?? :(

[@connordevlin8412]

because jandek

[@1funeral2many9]

jandek has so much indie cred he's not even on mainstream streaming services

[@lolsroyce6074]

@Ryan Smith ok

[@kurtkon5772]

Terrific song to take a shit to! I mean it all came out perfect clean cut and everything I didn't even have to wipe🤫

[@SamHusseini]

great... winter, summer -- think it's about seasonal marriage in part.

[@alexbakale2553]

Is it true this song was written about Shandek?

[@markwheatley190]

If you were famous it would be compared to Velvet Underground.

[@darkcnotion]

Ugh conventional chords

[@briansmith3360]

Is that a 55 gallon barrel someone is hitting while subtlety panicking on acid? There's obviously no unprecedented talent here, but rather a pretentious flailing about as though reckless abandon is somehow art. Perhaps this project is a negative concord. The unrhythmic barrel molestation in addition to the apparent cognitive dissonance towards recognition, just cancel each other out. Other than that bullshjt, the guitar and vocals are pretty good.

[@rachelcallaghan3107]

Jesis what a pretentious comment 💀

[@tuukkatyybakinoja6583]

@@rachelcallaghan3107 I agree

[@Xx_Eric_was_Here_xX]

there must be some artistic merit for the song to elicit such a strong response from you

[@tigerdoodat5427]

I think you missed the point. It's not supposed to be groovy, or make much musical sense. It's what music sounds like when it's made by someone with no musical inhibitions, or interest in others' opinions of their work. I don't think that makes Jandek's music any better than anyone else's, it just makes it unique, in that he truly doesn't care if the music sounds good or bad. It just is what it is.

[@slimturnpike]

so this is the album where jandek sold out?

[@Mr-ep2qi]

Lol how?

[@MistahEdwardus]

I doubt it. I think parts of the album sound like outtakes from The Rocks Crumble or Telegraph Melts (the first two noisy, atonal tracks), and some songs sound like they're from _You Walk Alone_ (the "accessible" rock stuff) and _Blue Corpse_ (the acoustic songs). He didn't really "sell out"; he just added more conventional features to his formula.

[@kylebentley7512]

Yeah, he sold 20 copies of this instead of 10 heh

[@1funeral2many9]

nah he didnt sell out till he started playing live

[@master_roshi8849]

This stinks.
