Found this weird as hell private 90s thang sealed in my local. Papped it open and it's weird garagey kinda 90s vanity-style rock. One track is the whole side 2 and the shit is bordering on 'so-terrible-it's-good' type steeze. Anyone know anything about this dude? He's from Houston it seems.

I wish i could find Jandek lp's in the wild, anyone see the documenary that got made about him?
it floated around the uk a year or so ago, but i couldn't make it to any of the cities to see it.
yeah, i really hope for the day i stumble upon a box of unopened jandek lps dropped off at salvation army, but somehow i don't think that's going to happen. i don't know where the original poster is from, but yeah, most of the people who had jandek records a) knew what they were b) threw them away a long time ago or c) were radio stations.
re: the documentary, i saw it on dvd and it was ok. there's nothing new in the documentary that hasn't been revealed before (like on seth tisue's website), only it's being broadcasted to a larger audience. the most interesting part is during the end they play an actual phone conversation with sterling r. smith.
A well known fact about finding the Jandek LPs out in the real world is to check local university/college radio stations, as many of the LPs were distributed to these back in the day. Good luck!
yeah, and what's good is that college radio stations are really easy to steal from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now every single title can be picked up on disc for CHEAP

Very true. Dude wasn't afraid to repress.
