my copy of Retired Boxer/Respect is on a silver cd within the cardboard case, not cdr unless its a silver cdr I think it would be awesome if they put out some sort of box set of the cassette recordings like the cdr 5 pack but with more notes and stuff

Ive got the jewel case version of Hi How Are You from the DJ store, it doesnt have the error. That version does not have the lyric sheet/poster (is there a poster/lyrics for Yip/Jump?). is there anywhere to buy that seperately? Also on Yip/Jump does Speeding Motorcycle have the little jump in sound? Im assuming that was from the source...

i just got a few cds as early christmas and they sound great, even printed directly to the cdr you can also get them on itunes or emusic and they come with the art so truly you could buy it there and tape it!

I am a more recent fan... I have lived in Austin for like 8 years i think now and used to frequent Sound Exchange so i knew of DJ through the mural and always saw the tape but never heard em.... a few years passed and i think Wilcos cover of True Love Will Find You was my first time to hear a cover, a little later through file sharing i got a few songs like Speeding Motorcycle and True Love, but never went out for the albums until after seeing the doc and really hearing how great most of his songs are. In the process of my discovery I realized that I had heard his song Rocket Ship done by Dead Milkmen from ages ago...

other than for the art galleries has there ever been postcards of DJs art made? a collector set would be awesome, like a set of his frequent characters, also have they ever done any sticker designs?

I think Tom Waits would be a good example...he has an uncommon voice which hides some great pop sensibilities vocally Wayne Coyne from Flaming Lips... i think suggesting Wesley Willis as a similar artist does wrong for Daniel, I think Daniels music thrives despite his illness even though it is affected whereas Willis's art to me seemed to be all about being funny because of his illness (if WW wasnt schizophrenic almost no one would care about it, if Daniel Johnston didnt have the mystique of his illness he would still be cinsidered a damn fine songwriter) Im not sure if linking in Jandek would be so accurate either, Jandek has all the uncomfortableness of the creepiest DJ song but with none of the pop sensibilities (and that is his allure)most people could not listen to a jandek album,,,
