(2006)"Glasgow Monday" is the 47th release, third live album, and second-ever double album release, from avant-folk/blues singer/songwriter
Jandek . It is his fifth release of the year (counting the DVD version of "Glasgow Sunday ") and features "The Corwood Representative" on piano and vocals, along with the same rhythm section he performed with at the shows documented on "Glasgow Sunday" and "Newcastle Sunday ", bassistRichard Youngs (playing upright bass) and drummer/percussionistAlex Neilson who accents the music with chimes and echoing percussion. It was recorded live at the Center for Contemporary Arts inGlasgow, Scotland onMay 23 ,2005 and features a prelude and nine parts to a single song, "The Cell".The music has classical elements, and can be called "meditative." It is also devoid of the dissonance associated with most Corwood albums, with Jandek's piano playing being compared to
Erik Satie and his speak/singing staying in a mellow timbre that never moves into his atonal wail. The lyrics make references tomitochondria , "streaming into the desert", work, health, heroes, the occult (which he doesn't battle), and "possibility", continually circling back to the same question that begins and ends the album - "What do I have?".Track listing
