How is Father Ted? Would you rank it with Fawlty Towers and other well known British shows?

I appreciate the thought, but twenty copies of Worthless Recluse? That seems a bit excessive... QUOTE(Chaney @ Jun 22 2005, 09:23 PM) Corwood sent a very brief answer to the two questions I asked in my order letter. On the back of a current catalog the words "yes" "yes" are written in what looks like two different sets of handwriting. The questions being answered are "is the Glasgow 2004 DVD still going to be released?" and "will the two 2005 live performances be released?" So, good news on both of those.

Happy listening John. Hope you're up to the challenge. I think it was Jim Dye who bought 11 cds and didn't really like them.

The Simpsons-Seasons 1-5 (Season 6 out 8/16!) Family Guy-Seasons 1-3 South Park-Seasons 1-5 Rocky & Bullwinkle Seasons 1-2 Northern Exposure-Seasons 1-3 The Tick The Young Ones Fawlty Towers The Vicar Of Dibley Monty Python (Series 1-4) MASH-Seasons 1-2 Strangers With Candy-Seasons 1-3 Edit: Just bought: Futurama-Season 1 Buffy The Vampire Slayer-Season 1 Both at Sams for $14.48! They had Season 1 of King Of The Hill for the same price also.

It originally had 10GBs I believe. I added 20 GBs. It's the first iMac that came out in 1998. I got it as a severence package from a job and it had Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, Word for MacIntosh and some other stuff. I tossed what I didn't need and have a startup disc and backups of my programs I got for free!!!

Anything I listed orginally as a keeper: Chair Beside A Window The Rocks Crumble Blue Corpse Follow Your Footsteps You Walk Alone Graven Image Lost Cause The Beginning I originally had New Town in there, but I don't think it's as melodic as I first thought. The song New Town is fantastic though.

I tried the drag & drop with Mozilla, but both times it said insufficient space and I had 15GBs available. This info was in a log in the folder after I had installed it, but it never finished the install and there wasn't any installer icon anywhere. Does that make sense?

You've got a point Jim R. I would think Stuffit would load itself, but nothing happened after the download. The icon was a white paper, not the Stuffit icon. I have 4.5, but sometimes that does the same thing, it says it opens, then nothing happens. Other times it does it automatically.

You seem to like the less melodic album phasme. Care to share your opinions why? What do you think of the acapella ones? Do you have all of the Jandek albums?

I downloaded the version of Stuffit posted here, but it didn't do anything when I tried to open it. I get this sometimes. Any ideas what is happening?

A lot of fun & blues playing on this set of albums, the loosest you'll ever hear Smith. KEEPERS 1. You Walk Alone 2. On The Way 3. One Foot In The North 4. Somebody In The Snow 5. The Living End PERSONAL OPINION none FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY none #2-5 aren't as good as You Walk Alone, but none of them are bad at all. The only thing that takes away from Snow & Living End is the female singer (who is not Nancy, but I wonder if it is her sister Pat from the song No Break on Chair Beside A Window). She very tentative and isn't heard very clearly. The biggest change was On The Way which I had under completists and I'm not sure why. Half of the album is great, the other half is really good. So out of the first 20, I only have 5 albums that are not keepers. Quite a change.

This set has some of Jandeks best albums, maybe even THE best for some. KEEPERS 1. Blue Corpse 2. Follow Your Footsteps 3. Telegraph Melts PERSONAL OPINION 4. Foreign Keys 5. Modern Dances FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY none The only reason I put Follow Your Footsteps under Blue Corpse is it has a couple clunkers on it. The songs I love on it are some of my favorite Jandek songs period: Preacher, Didn't Ask Why & I Know You Well. Just as good as Blue Corpse & You Walk Alone for that matter. I switched Foreign Keys & Modern Dances around as Dances just has too many clunkers on it. It's not a very inspired album. Foreign Keys is more focused by comparision. I've also realized 3 of these albums (#3,4 &5) all feature Nancy. And she gets talked about A LOT, but aside from the song Nancy Sings, a lot of the others songs she is on aren't as good as you might think. She's on the jammy electric sessions where not many great songs were done. There are great electric songs, but not with Nancy singing. If she only sang Nancy Sings and nothing else with Jandek, her spot in the story would've been secured. It doesn't take away from it, but it's that 'looking for that next great song with her in it'. I don't think it's there, but what is there sure is fun to listen to.

I've always felt this one had maybe the weakest keeper because it has 3 versions of one song & 2 of another so there's half the album. It's still good, but there aren't as many stand out albums in this set. KEEPERS 1. The Rocks Crumble 2. Nine-Thirty 3. Your Turn To Fall 4. Interstellar Discussion PERSONAL OPINION 5. Staring At The Cellophane FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY none Despite these albums not quite equal to the first 5, I still think they're good. Nine-Thirty I don't remember many songs from, but I know I liked the feel of the album. Usually it's some songs that make me remember it rather than feel. Your Turn To Fall grew on me, especially the second half. Interstellar Discussion is interesting: 1/3 electric & 2/3 acoustic. The electric ones sound made up on the spot and it's good & not so good depending on how you look at it. I also like the feel of Staring At The Cellophane, but I feel it has the least to offer, but for some, it's ideal; it's on the mellower side as is Living In A Moon So Blue. After the first 5, you wonder where the great songs went with these.

So now that I've finished reviewing for now, I'm listening all over again & something has always bugged me. I couldn't seperate Ready For The House from Six & Six since they're stylistically so similar, but finally I feel I've accomplished that and with that, I must change my ranking so here's my updated ranking of the first 5: KEEPERS 1. Chair Beside A Window PERSONAL OPINION 2. Later On 3. Ready For The House FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY 4. Living In A Moon So Blue 5. Six & Six I moved Six & Six because it's just like Ready For The House...only less so. House is tough to get through, but following it with Six & Six can be too much to some. But more songs stuck out to me on House and while a couple stuck out on Six & Six, they don't hold my attention the way the ones on House do. Though House is hard to digest, it's a must buy because as someone else in this thread said: It's the alpha! Edit the next day: (Dedicated to Chaney) I moved Moon to #4 & Six & Six to #5. I hadn't relistened to Moon when I posted this and when I did, it held my attention more than Six. His singing on Moon is all over the place & I like it whereas Six is more spoken. ← I think my initial rankings are good for the uninitiated, but now as a full blown fan, changes in thought have happened. I still stand by the initial ones unless I've changed them. These are my opinions rather than for others. Feel free to disagree. KEEPERS 1. Chair Beside A Window 2. Later On 3. Ready For The House PERSONAL OPINION 4. Living In A Moon So Blue 5. Six & Six FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY none

I voted other because I love them all and don't really differentiate between them. If Ascension was listed, I would've picked that one.

Another vote here for the chiropractor. You may have past damage also. I found out I had scoliosis. Thankfully it was in its early stages. It was all in my neck. A year later I find out I'm not 5'11", but 6'1". Some beginners yoga would be good to keep it in check after you've dealt with it all.

I now wonder if it's Nancy's sister Pat who sang on No Break on Chair Beside A Window (#4). The voice has the same tentativness. You Walk Alone is a good album to introduce Jandek. It's one of his most listenable albums.

I've changed my opinion (thought not in any post) about On The Way. I would put it in the keepers now and I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on You Walk Alone. What is it about it that would have you not recommend it to people?

I think you can look at the dates of my early posts. I think it was 2 weeks for the check, 3 weeks to get the cds. It feels longer doesn't it.

Chaney, when might you get back to reviewing?

Hello to all the people from the Jandek list. Hope you enjoy it. I plan to continue. Enjoy the site too!

That's o.k. My French is worse.

Greetings France, and a voulos-vous to you.

I think so. I tried it a few times and got the same thing every time. I downloaded the correct one for 8.6 so I've given up on it as I don't know what to do. It's definetly better than nothing.
