Ive never really discovered any musician in any way really similiar to DJ. when i first heard his music it blew my mind because i'd just never heard anything like it before.
-Does anybody know of any musician in any way similiar to DJ that is any artist who's music has some of these characteristics : -quirky and odd lyrics -lo-fi recorded -high pitched voice -experimental with instruments -an indepth and intriguing personality -a childlike quality to his voice and lyrics -a modern day genious - suffers from a mental dissorder -one man band - extremely personal lyrics
Artists i would consider anyway possesing similiar characteristics are -Bjork -Neil young -Cocorosie

"Hey joe" is my favourite dj song, Its too hard to explain why it is so wonderful. It just hits the spot and sends me into a tearful mood everytime, The lyrics are about optimism about life in times of struggle, this very easy for me to relate. his shrilling high pitch chorus resonates within me. I cant understand why this isnt everybodys favourite, but hey thats life.

I love Daniel Johnston, i wish i knew him. I just finished watching the Devil and Daniel Johnston and i didn't get to see the last 5 minutes of it properly because the tears in my eyes hazed up my vision.
His music and his life story can make me laugh out loud and at other times make me burst into tears, this is so strange for me because i used to consider myself a very unemotional person. I used to be very unemotional because i convinced myself that that when we die and life wasn't worth anything so i isolated my self from the world and all its emotional attachments. But since discovering Daniel just under a year ago, i have learned to love life again and see the beauty and the pain in the world and this makes me feel alive. I am eternally gratefull to Daniel Johnston
I was wondering what everyones favourite daniel johnston lyric was and which one do you think is his funniest?
Mine are Best: "The sun don't shine your T.V"
Funniest: "Now King Weasel's up in the sky, somewhere weaselin' Yeh!"
