How is this from 1983? This sounds like a modern lo-fi indie pop album.

Couldn't be because modern lo-fi indie pop artists try to emulate that sound or anything. Right?
Would you recommend this album?
this, they're cancer
no, it sucks
thats because modern lo-fi indie emulates it
only reason why people find daniel johnston even remotely interesting is because he's mentally retarded
so his music is very genuine/raw/passionate
if a normie did this, it's forgettable
This desu
>if it wasnt genuine raw and passionate it would be forgettable
isnt that a moot point?
Except it only holds those redeeming qualities because he's retarded.
I think you might be retarded too.
modern lo-fi indie pop? no such thing
I really enjoyed Yip Jump Music, after that it's just songs
not really. some of the songs on his early tapes are genuinely really good songwriting better than fucking randy newman who's won 5,000,000 grammys and oscars and hey that's nepotism for you

his piano stuff was the best
underrated
>mfw Daniel starts sobbing in the middle of Careless Soul
Don't fucking trash Randy Newman
a true patrician knows the songwriting talent of both daniel johnston and randy newman
In the documentary they say that Daniel recorded Hi, How Are You every time someone asked for a copy of it. Is this true? If so, what version does everyone have? Do we all have a real version or what?
don't have to, he already trashed himself
Any examples of music this genuinely raw and passionate made by normies?
/thread
This is the only halfway decent Daniel Johnson song
prove me wrong [spoiler]you obviously can't[/spoiler]
its the musings of a mentally ill schizophrenic
you be the judge.
Is it bad to listen to music made by mentally ill people?
nope.
Wesley Willis did the same and he was even more ill. Yet it was still enjoyable.

Thanks for the rec user, I love you
Good luck getting Rock N' Roll McDonalds and I Whipped Batman's Ass out of your head.
You're welcome.
Actually might enjoy this album more than Hi How Are You
What's his secret besides the sincerity?
It's so damn colourful and despite how bad he is at singing/playing instruments I felt like I had the best 30 minutes of my life after I finished this
Oh man.
you can thank Kurt for that one
youtube.com
he aint going to make it much longer guys
as a fucked up bipolar cunt this reminds me that I can be a 50+ year old shaking mess and some 20 year old hipsters may well cheer to me too
The lo-fi quality is because he recorded it on shitty equipment and the indie pop is because it's actually a folk album.
call me a pleb or underage but Youth Lagoon genuinely comes to mind
