Daniel Johnston?
 

Anyone have any opinions on him? I did a search and not much came up, I know some of you know who he is...

Just curious, I was just recently introduced to his stuff after watching The Devil and Daniel Johnston, I'm pretty impressed at his creativity and I really like his earlier songs. Not to mention the documentary was pretty moving.

devil town is a good song...and yes, i was introduced to this song by bright eyes' cover. :rolleyes:

A lot of his songs are simply amazing even though he couldn't exactly perform them to their full potential.

i've been wanting to see that doc for a long time. i walk by the famous spraypaint tag here did here in austin every day :)

hehehe, I haven't yet got to sit down and listen to the covers.

It's REALLY good, you should definitely go get it, or something. We were by our friend's house and he had to run out for a little bit so he put it on and said "here, watch this", I was baffled for a little bit but by the time he came back I was mad that I couldn't watch the rest. So finally we all got to sit down and watch it and it nearly brought tears to my eyes. Since watching that I've been so fascinated by him, it's pretty crazy just how well he documented his own life.

daniel johnston- hi how are you? (w/ bonus bright eyes cover of devil town tacked on)

Actually I'm importing that cd right now, we have a lot of his stuff but I haven't got to listen to some of it. But thanks!!

I think my favorite song so far is Peek-A-Boo :love:

well, damn.

:love:

If you want any of his stuff though let me know and I can send it to you.

Here, this is that Peek A Boo song...because it's just that good.

ooh, i like this song. if it's no trouble, anything you have would be great!

Well right now I think we have Hi, How Are You?, which you have...and Welcome To My World (which has Peek A Boo) and Continued Story is the other one I just imported. So I'll upload Welcome To My World right now and if I have time I'll do Continued Story.

Do you have Oink? Mark says basically everything of his is on there, if you have an account you can download the rest from there.

no oink, just soulseek. i think i tried oink a few times, but it was just...i dunno, too much for me. rules, ratios, etc.

Hah yeah, Mark uses it and I just tell him what I want and he gets it for me ;)

I suppose it's simple once you get the hang of it and if you do ever want to use it I'm sure Mark wouldn't mind showing you some tips n stuff.

But anyhow, we're almost halfway done with this transfer so I probably won't have time to do the other tonight but I'll try to remember it for tomorrow.

:cheers:

that's fine, whatever you can!

Thanks alot guys for these. Never heard him before. Great stuff. Can anyone up this album 1990 you're

Glad you liked it but I don't have 1990 yet. Some of the songs are on Welcome To My World...check out http://www.rejectedunknown.com/ to look at the tracklistings.

you should check out the old tapes he re-released too, songs of pain and more songs of pain

grievances is a fantastic song <3
it's about that girl he was so in love with and met at that funeral thing, and i didn't know this until i saw the docu and i was like :idea: <3

He's got so much music, it's so crazy. But yeah I'm working my way around to all of it! Thank god for Oink.
