website: follow the links to the history dept. and then staff at www.qmul.ac.uk
other: i'm what you americans would call a `professor' of russian history at the university of london. daniel entered my life in about 1988, from the recommendation of stephen pastel. i wrote, i think, one of the first serious articles on him and his music for the first (and only) edition of the pastels' fanzine, `pastelism'  in 1988 (copies on request - of the article); although, at that point, all i knew of him was what i could glean from the songs on the cassettes (kindly supplied to me by his then manager, geoff) which i listened to constantly for months on end. i can only say that, as others have said, i was just shocked and immediately in awe of the raw, honest emotion of the songs and was possessed (for ever) by the gorgeous melodies; and, yes, intrigued by the madness of it all. there's no sense in denying that.  for me, he ranks up there with the greats (hank, dylan) and is one of the constants in my all too fractured life. one moment i'll never forget was when, driving around northern ireland in 1989 with my girlfriend (now wife), listening to a compilation of daniel on the stereo i'd put together from the cassettes, she suddenly (alarmingly!) pulled over into a gateway because she had to cry. man, that man can move you! i have yet to see him play live, but thank god he exists. daniel has made me (and you) a better person. full stop
