I've heard so much about this fatso lately. Does any of you have his music? How is his last album, Fear Yourself? |
||||||||

i heard his older (cassette only) stuff and he´s pretty good. expect brutally naive tunes, extremely cheesy lyrics and the worst recordings ever. the biggest things about daniel johnston is it´s honestity and straigthforward aproach to music. that´s it. |

I'm in a period now, where i really love his music... So i was glad to see some other xlt member had made a topic about him, might as well bump it! |

i watched the documentary and really enjoyed it but i never actually got around to listening to any of his albums. |

see the documentary. |

that being said, this guy is just insane. and the people around him are confused. |

I saw him live recently, and it was really good. He started of alone on stage with this weird little guitar thing and played three songs, and afterwards he said "phew, i'm glad that's done!". Then the band came in, and one of the guys played this distorted little keyboard that made the whole thing sound lot like the recordings. He played the most amazing version of "Help" by The Beatles (I'm not that into The Beatles it should be noted). It's amazing to hear that song being played by someone who actually needs help! So anyway, if you get the chance to see him live in your area, i really reccomend it. |

I love Daniel Johnston. Some of my favorite material from him is actually the collaboration he did with Jad Fair - "It's Spooky." The thing I love most about his music is his extremely straight-forward songwriting, combined with a perfect mix between playfulness and mentally-disturbed imagery. A real modern master of the art of pop songwriting. |

that's good to hear, because the live clips they had in the documentary of him in recent times did not sound very good at all imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hear ya! I saw those clips as well. I was anxious if he would even show up, but he did, and it was great. |
