Some Daniel Johnston for you


I'd saythis guy is an eclectic taste. You will love him or not love him. Though donload this and give him a listen to find out which love you have for DJ.

Daniel Johnston is one of the most incredible songwriters you've never heard. Destined for the underground, his sound is bare bones, usually nothing more than voice with piano, guitar or chord organ. To some it may sound elementary, but when you dig deeper you find some of the most heart wrenching songs ever written. Oddly enough his popularity stems from his own hand made cassette demos that he passed out to friends and fans.


I am going to be covering a song of his in the very near future at Franklin Arts festival.
Keep an eye out for shows here: Brent West


For More Daniel Johnston see his myspace and or watch his rollercaoster ride life documentary The Devil & Daniel Johnston.

Wesley Willis

Wesley’s favorite form of greeting was the headbutt. This left a permanent bruise on the center of his forehead. His friends called it his third eye.















Both of These chaps had mental problems (not the PC term I know, but it's time to publish this post) both of which you can look on Wikipedia
