JANDEK

For those of you who may not know who he is, Jandek is simply known as music's great enigma. In short, he's released (so far) 40 albums since 1978 on his own Corwood Industries label. I'll leave the musical descriptions to those who've actually heard him (check the links below) but is generally filed under "outsider." The album covers are all very minimal, just a photo and song titles. The only way to contact him is through Corwood Industries -- whose only contact info is just a PO box in Houston -- but any correspondence sent there only generates a plain typed catalog of Jandek music for sale. Nobody knew anything about him.
