The Jandek cover was a success from my point of view, at least--the guitar sounds good (not direct, but recorded with mic and amp at very late hours--thanks to the attenuator I put in the Kalamazoo Model Two amp) and the performance is acceptable. I could have used more reverb in the mix, but live and learn. Structurally, it was a useful exercise to do, since the original has nonstandard verse lengths, at-will chord changes, and some other entertaining features. Putting my own structure and arrangement on it was fun, and a useful education. I have to agree with certain members of the Jandek mailing list that there's no point in doing a cover that's just a Jandek impersonation. In general I'd argue that the only reason to do a cover is to prove that you can add something to the song, to reinterpret it. I'm not sure if it's going to make the final cut, so I may put up an .mp3 of this for the truly curious.
