Extremely new to Daniel Johnston

[dep]

Where should I begin? 

[dill]

That depends.. how did you get into him to begin with. That way if we know what you heard and enjoy we could make better informed suggestions.

Just jumping the gun ...

'old stuff' -  songs of pain vol. 1 and 2 , don't be scared , yip!jump music (either get the cassettes from Stress, or download them *legally* . Or get both, it doesn't cost much!)

'new stuff' - Fear Yourself, Rejected/Unknown, Fun

Of course, to contribute to the fund for Daniel's house ,  get the Late Great Daniel Johnston too - buy from the official website, that way, the most £$ goes to the folks who most appreciate it!

(just my 2p's worth)

Also, get a piece of artwork ,you'll be glad you did

hi, how are you...one of the most incredible records ever.
and why does noone seem to ever consider 'continued story'?
it's fabulous...ghost

oh , and don't forget '1990', it will surely make you cry.

I'd begin with "The Late Great Daniel Johnston" - it gathers material together from various parts of his career - not just the early, boom-box stuff.
