EXCUSE ME, I was talking about Daniel.
BTW, even if you donāt dig the music - see the documentary
Might I also suggest the Roky Erickson documentary āYouāre Gonna Miss Meā?
Like Johnston or Willis, Roky is a mentally ill musician. Unlike them, heās far more objectively talented and is actually a minor but important figure in the history of rock music.
Might I also recommend the documentary Fix. Itās about a complete lunatic who thinks heās pretty damn awesome.
13th Floor Elevators rule.
OOH! or the movie āDig!ā
About the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Specifically about Anton Newcombe from BJM and how he is utterly and completely batshit insane. LOOOOOOTS of drugs there, too.
The movie is WAY better than either band, although I guess they both have a FEW decent songs. Plus a pre-surgeries Genesis P-Orridge gets a cameo in an interview talking about how great he thinks BJM is.
Seriously, this one is definitely worth a watch if you havenāt seen it yet. I think itās streaming on Netflix. IMO, the only person in this trainwreck documentary that comes off sympathetically is Joel Gion, BJMās tambourine player. Which I think says something.

I think I read about that one. Thereās like some bitter blood-feud rivalry or something, right? I donāt know anything by or about either band, but it did sound like a fun movie.
And speaking of Dylan, I would highly recommend the film āDonāt Look Backā. A young Bob Dylan just seems like a total a-hole, but kind of in an awesome way at times, haha!!!
I listened to a few tracks on YouTube and it just sounded like some schizo with a Fisher Price tape recorder singing about hummingbirds and sunshine and rain and whatnot. I always seem to miss the supposed genius of artists like this.
I donāt think you are missing anything. The guy has a knack for writing catchy, simplistic tunes. Oh and he just happens to be a nutjob - which doesnāt hurt if you are trying to use a gimmick to sell records and cultivate notoriety.
But yeah, there is an element of voyeurism involved here. As if weāre staring at something weāve been brought up to believe itās rude to stare at.

Thank you.
My old roommate was a big Daniel Johnston fan, and sheās a freakydeaky raving psychotic cunt.
Examples of why she is a cunt?
Daniel Johnston supposedly lost his marbles (or invoked a psychotic reaction) after taking acid at a Butthole Surfers gig in Austin.
At least, thatās the rumour.
I likd the bit in the documentary when he freaked out and threatened to kill Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth). Thatās funny. Iāve wanted to hit that guy in the face with a cream pie for years. I donāt know why.
Also, when he breaks into that old ladyās house and tackles her through the upstairs window and heās taken to jail. Can you imagine if that happened to you? Imagine being thrown through a window by Daniel Johnston.
Wesley Willis is better anyway.
Wesley Willis is better anyway.
Thatās a givenā¦heās a brother!
Examples of why she is a cunt?
Gee, where to start? Randomly picking some singer/songwriter guy from New York, creating a myspace page pretending to be him, mocking, taunting and stalking him until she drew the attention of another chick who had been previously stalking him and then teaming up with her to fuck with him until he has a nervous breakdown. Or playing the part of āgood listenerā for both me & my gf whenever weād have a fight, and then playing us against each other later. Or randomly fucking skeezy craigslist guys, or walking out of her room WHILE getting fucked by a skeezy craigslist guy so the skeezy craigslist guy can ask my gf to join in (I wasnāt home at the time- she freaked out, I was furious).
Itās really fucked up. She was fully capable of being a good friend sometimes when she wanted to. The first year we lived together was just fine. And sheās super super smart. SCARY smart. Maybe the smartest person Iāve ever known. But itās like she never learned how human beings act or how to get along in society. I kinda think she might be a sociopath. I met her in college. She was raised a spoiled rich brat, and then got herself a junky boyfriend and they moved away together to some slum in North Carolina where he would beat her up and stick a gun in her mouth and shit, and they had a baby she had to give up because she didnāt want it around him. Ten years later she moves to St. Louis and got in contact, after she broke up with her bf and I broke up with my gf at the time, we moved in together, strictly platonic.
The second (and last) year together in the house got a lot worse. Youād walk in from a long day at work, and she would never in a million years ask how your day was, but she would immediately start telling you about her pussy. Iām not joking. Sheād be standing there cooking herself dinner and telling you all this gross shit about the married guys she was boning down with and cum in her ass and stuff before you could even get your coat off, and youād be like āHi! My day was fine, thanks!ā We had words about that on several occasions. Just stop, I donāt want to hear it, ya know. Sheād also watch really nasty pornos with titles like ā50 Guy Creampieā and lock herself in her room and masturbate loudly all day long with one of those big vibrators you plug into the wall that sounds like a lawnmower. I just stopped having visitors altogether until she moved out.
And before you guys start, she definitely falls in the BBW category. Voidās kinda galā¦
Yeah. I just threw up in my mouth.

Was she on the cover of Dark Side Of The Spoon?
Great story.
I just wanted to post this here because itās awesome. It does make me sad, but heās just got the shakes naturally:

Nardwaur and Daniel.
And sheās super super smart. SCARY smart. Maybe the smartest person Iāve ever known. But itās like she never learned how human beings act or how to get along in society. I kinda think she might be a sociopath.
I think I can top this.
I have an ex who is currently serving 5 years in prison out in country Victoria for bashing one of her friends with a golf stick and putting her in hospital for 4 weeks with severe facial lacerations and head injuries.
The girl was an out and out sociopath. To even scratch the surface in relating the details of our (brief) tumultuous relationship would take three or four hours and at least a pot of coffee. Letās just say for now that at least twice I feared for my life.
When the time is right Iāll let it all slip.
But yeah, that girl you have just described does sound like sheād qualify for cunt status.

He seems like a really sweet fella. I love how enthusiastic he is about everything. I get so sick of Nardwar, though. I just wish Daniel would kick him in the balls or something.

Daniel nailed Nardwar at the end by saying āKatmanduā in stead of ādoo dooā hahaha
Fat crazy bitches is the best part of this thread.

YES! i agree about joel, and the fact that both bands are unlistenable new york city style up oneās own ass goof rock bullshit.
that being saidā¦
this guy and westly and every other pimped out novelty act makes me actually sad. i think that pushing him, supplying him with drugs, and dragging him around as the flipper armed boy wonder is fucking disgusting.
I donāt really view Daniel as a novelty act. Or any artist, for that matter, unless they consider their āgoofy songsā enough to make a buck on and then just run with it. Even Tiny Tim considered his music sacred.
Heās got diabetes, and schizophrenic tendenciesā¦He lives with his parents in Texas, and basically has been for all his life. Iām sure heās been the one wanting to put his music out there, otherwise heād be in the loony bin.
Wesleyā¦I like him in dosesā¦I donāt know his story.
