jandek appears live, seas of willfully obscure psych folkers ask, "why go on?"

the illusive jandek has crawled into the light, prompting me to think of a half-dozen onion style headlines about how syd barrett, roky erickson, linda perhecs and a long, strong lineage of 'authentically mad' or obscure artists will be giving autographs at walmart.

from the Jandek supa-fan website:

It is now confirmed that Jandek played a live set at the Instal.04 festival in Glasgow on October 17. He sang and played guitar, joined by Richard Youngs on bass and Alexander Neilson on drums. The performance was not publicized beforehand or even identified as it happened, so many of the people in the room didn’t know until later whom they had seen and heard.
