So, I finally created a Flickr account for Monster Fresh. I have a backlog of concert photography and extra shots that never even make it on to the site. Since I'm new to the Flickr game, I decided to knock around the site to see exactly what it had to offer and what else I could find in the photo sets of other users. I typed "Daniel Johnston" into a search and was surprised to find a photo ...

[03-21-2009] After a two-and-a-half-hour wait in line, my feet hurt, I'm sober, uncomfortable, and a little sticky from the balmy evening. I feel like I've just been on a long car ride with my parents. But this time, I don't get out of the hot station wagon to find Yellowstone Park, but to find tequila and Pabst (thank god). I am awakened by the smell of the lime, my temperature lowered by the ...

Music docs give you rad backstage footage, fights, bellyhoo, and loads of concert footage, but no music film was as devastatingly candid as 2005's The Devil & Daniel Johnston, which not only framed a warts-and-all portrait of "outsider" music's most intriguing figure, but also exposed his music and prose to the film world. Cultivating an ever-growing fanbase after more than a quarter century ou...

Mountain Dew-obsessed, schizophrenic, religious fanatic pop star Daniel Johnston is hitting the road later this month (and making people feel uncomfortable*) all over Europe in support of his... collectible vinyl frogs?

Guys - What happens when a New Haven Connecticut college radio dee jay with a heart (aka "SAINT Christopher" graduates from college and moves and no longer has a radio station to play records at? He gets out his pen, notebook, and PS IBM computer (1993 era) and starts writing his own bi-weekly music column called "Looking At Noise".

Serious music lovers have their obscure favourites. I’m no exception. Actually, many of my favourite artists haven’t even had a hit record in their entire career. But the artists who do have hits more or less have the privilege to expose or foster a talent that they feel deserves better recognition. The late Kurt Cobain was one such person. In interviews he voiced his support for underground cu...

On a simple impulse, I went out and bought "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" on DVD, having been fascinated by the trailer, his mythical reputation (all I can say I knew about the man or his music--up until now...), and then the admiration of Sufjan Stevens, Conor Oberst, Tom Waits, and of course, Kurt Cobain. My friend Lance also saw the film not so long ago and loved it, going even farther to o...

Have you guys ever seen this? If not, it's definitely worth checking out. Daniel Johnston's story is tragic but also captivating. He's one of those artists that all other artists seem to like. You may not like him or understand his music until your favorite band covers him. Daniel Johnston - Come See Me Tonight Daniel Johnston - True Love Will Find You In The End Daniel Johnston - Some Th...

I could listen to Daniel Johnston all day. He has such an amazing knack for turning a phrase. His songs are never really wordy, or intellectual...but they are so poignant and so heartfelt. And there is nothing worse in my opinion than music that is insincere.
