Officially, Jandek is not a person.
Albums and live performances are credited to “Jandek”, but the man on the album covers and on stage is “a representative from Corwood Industries”. Corwood is the record label; “Jandek” is the musical project. Both are directed by the same individual. The trinity of Jandek, Corwood, and [...]

Yesterday morning I was dragged from my desk for a very pleasant walk through Sydney Park — some welcome sunshine on the winter solstice.
I spotted a tradesman’s ute parked rakishly by the way, notable at first for its tidiness, and then for the stencils on the duco announcing the ‘eco-friendly’ removal of pests. Signs of [...]
Most people who visited the Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon Lookout during the 1950s and 1960s would remember, with affection, the world famous White Cats. This family of friendly felines lived in a ‘cattage’ on the roof of the Pylon Lookout, (14 steps up a ladder from the Parapet Level). Here they had their own merry-go-round, [...]
