Jandek and John Darnielle?

I'm a huge fun of the Mountain Goats. I discovered their music via Moral Orel after my divorce. The song "No Children" got me through a lot of tough times. That led me to exploring Tallahasse, and to the rest of their catalog. I was fortunate enough to be able to see them when they came to the Twin Cities in November 2017. That was a great show!

I have an uneasy relationship with Jandek. Some hosts from my local college radio station, KMSU, think extremely highly of him and have introduced his music to the area. (In fact, they even brought him to Mankato for his first ever Minnesota show.) I haven't listened to a ton of his work, but I've loved some of what I've heard, and I've hated some of it as well.

At any rate, I was listening to a bootleg of his Mankato performance and reading his Wikipedia page, and I saw that John Darnielle is listed as part of his fan base. I went on Google and found a link to this article about John playing with Jandek! I'm really curious as to how that turned out, but I didn't see the album listed on Corwood Industries. It looks like it was at Chapel Hill on 02/22/2009.

If you stumble across this post, and have a copy of the show, let me know!
