"dressing room" after a gig with Kramer in Phila at the Khyber in July
of 99. I gave him a first edition of Kamandi (a Jack Kirby comic book)
and some other Kirby stuff. He signed the concert poster for me "Best of
Luck, your friend...." and gave me some orange juice and crackers. I
dont think we ever really made eye contact, but we did shake hands, and
he was very appreciative polite. It was a great concert, by the way.
Just Daniel and a guitar and a small room full of people who knew all
the words to all his songs. Truly a living William Blake.

other: it was the summer of 1988, and i
spent it in the squalor of an efficiency apartment with three things: a
copy of Raise High The Roof Beam Carpenter, a crummy 15 year old tape
recorder, and a copy of a copy of a copy of Dan's original tape which he
had distributed at a Mcdonalds some years before. even though he later
went on to do records and television, and has now become respected as
some sort of underground hero-genius, i still like to think of him as
that lonely, passionate maniac plunking away on the piano while his
mother ranted at him in the background. every single song on that
long-lost tape was wonderful.

website: http://www.loaf-i.com
(look for my band "La Nuit (the night)" on this website)
other: I was blown away by Daniel's music
about five years ago when I first heard Yip/Jump music. I ordered it
because I was listening alot to the Groovie Ghoulies and they covered
"to go home" and "Devil town", both of which were songs I really liked.
It was awesome to see him in concert last year here in Salt Lake, I was
blown away all over again, he's such an amazingly honest and heartfelt
performer. Daniel is a huge influence for me, I spend alot of time with
music. I covered "Museum of Love" on my first album (owed to a past
love) since its one of my most favorite songs. You can listen to some of
the songs off of it on the loaf-i website.

played in a bar once, and I remember a cowboy swinging his girl around
to that song!

perverse form of credibility. i think he deserves all the good
he's gotten { and probably more} just by listening to a few bars of his
music. i'll step down now.

country: U.S.
town: Dublin, OH
favorite Musicians: Daniel Johnston, Scott
Walker, Tom Waits, Sparklehorse, Nick Cave, Dylan, Andy Gibb(!),
Jandek, Love, Brian Wilson, Johnny Dowd, and Edith Piaf.
favorite Daniel Johnston Songs: Dont
Be Scared, Put My Love Out The Door, Wicked Will, My Yoke Is
Heavy, Billions/Rock, Catie, Premarital Sex, The Sun
Shines Down On Me, Fly Eye, and Cold Hard World...stop me before I
list 'em all...
other: "Me" is a 30 year old male
living close to Columbus, hoping that Daniel's "pending" performance in
Columbus in April will become a reality. I've spent the
majority of my "free time" over the past year listening to
Daniel's music and being constantly awed by it. I was knocked out
when I heard his reference to Red Donnely in "Cold Hard World", as I
grew up near Daniel's birthplace and watched Red Donnely on the 6
o'clock news each night with my mother, watching things like the
"Hostages In Iran" ordeal, so "Cold Hard World" immediately hit
home and I was able to find solace in his other songs as well. I
could go on for hours about the impact his music has on me, but I know
better than to do that to strangers!
No website or photo yet, I'm still somewhat new to all things
cyber...but I'm glad I found your site. Been listening to the new
CD, which is good, and I'm sure will grow on me, like
Sparklehorse took awhile to do....but nothing probably can ever compare
to his classic "basement tapes". His legacy could rest solely on
those recordings, but what's he doing now is still far better than
the vast majority of what you may find at Sam Goody, etc. My dream
is that he will one day be produced by Tom Waits, or by the also
severely underrated Scott Walker.
