what's your fave Daniel Johnston cover?

[lost_mind]

I'm new to this forum so i'm sorry if the topic already exists or something.....
so what's your fave cover of a Daniel Johnston song? The list is so huge but for me, as far as known bands or artists, my fave would have to be Eels-Living life....he keeps it simple and true. I need to sift through and find my fave unkown but at least that got the ball rolling and my first post out of the way!
.......
i have recently added a cover i did of 'True love will find you in the end' to the list....my names Mat Hathorn if u wanna check it out, it's in the list of covers on the fansite   i recorded it on my own using garageband on my mac....i am not a musician, but i gave it a go anyway!

Send us a link to your cover!
People will be singing Daniel the way people sing Woodie Guthrie, for generations.
And I like many of the covers that I've heard through the years, but the one's I prefer are those done spontaneously, for their own entertainment, by people who no one has ever heard of before.

i'm not very computer savvy.....it's in that big list of covers on the fansite.

when i first heard 'sorry entertainer', straight away i thought i could imagine nirvana doing a cover of it especially seeing as though kurt was a big fan of dan....

...well in the covers list,  check out the cover of sorry entertainer by a band called Ed the Tractor! it's just how i imagined it sounding....not that it's nirvana but they have a similar sound. check it out it's actually pretty good!

I don't think that my favorite Daniel Johnston cover will ever change.  It's "Some Things Last A Long Time" by Built to Spill. 

Dan's music had bounced around and narrowly avoided me for years, I think.  When I heard The Normal Years it was my favorite song on the album.  I knew it was a cover, but could never remember by who.  When I discovered Daniel, to the point where I knew who he was as an artist and knew when I heard his music, I still hadn't connected the dots.  So, when I did, everything made sense and I still credit that Doug Martsch as providing that first real introduction to Dan's music.  For that reason alone, it's a hard one to beat for me.
