I knew some people who worked directly with him and they told me his health was failing significantly. his last tour was basically a farewell because he was most likely going to die. now he has.

RIP

terrible voice, no loss

reminder that Roky Erikson got a sticky, the last recent death to be stickied actually.

Finally got around to listening to 1990 a couple months ago and I immediately saw what the “hype” was about and recorded some of his albums to tape, where they’ll live on forever.

Thanks for the touching meaningful music Daniel, RIP

Did he die a virgin?

nice

Fuck. This actually makes me really sad. One of my favorite songwriters

me

Literally who?

I remember reading something about him having a somewhat romantic relationship in the early 90s but his fear of temptation/sin/being condemned to hell for eternity caused him to distance himself.
Hard to say especially considering his later years were quite private but if he did die a virgin he's in good company with Nick Drake

NO HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT THIS WAS A TROLL IM FUCKING IM ACTUALLY ON THE VERGE OF TEARS WHAT THE FUCK

This sucks man. I wasn't that much of a fan but the dude got too much shit in life. But at least he spend his life doing what he enjoyed, music.

I don't mean any disrespect but this one was kind of clear to see, he had been ill for many years. Surprised he made it this far to be honest. RIP

Are you illiterate? How did I spell his name wrong?

Aw man.
F

No but no success found him on the terms he would have liked. He wanted to have #1 Billboard hits and be on the cover of Time Magazine. The fact that he received so much attention, and for lo-fi tapes he distributed largely by himself, is unbelievable. It's too bad he wasn't able to appreciate his success.

we now live in a post-daniel johnston world.

That's mostly because his entire musical world revolved around The Beatles and that's a high bar to live up to.
I think later on in life as his tours brought in bigger and bigger crowds he at least understood that lots of people loved him even if he didn't really grasp exactly the way in which his music affected them.
And he made enough off of commercials, covers, and steady sales to live comfortably at least, though unfortunately he wasn't really able to take care of himself

I never got into him despite seeing Hi, How Are You? recommended a billion times in all the years I've browsed Yea Forums. Feels bad man, especially when he seems like the kinda thing I'd dig anyway. If I like Jason Molina, Bill Callahan, Dave Bixby etc, what record should I check out? I get the impression he's of that similar lo-fi, journalistic folk vein

I genuinely think he was tortured by the thoughts in his head his entire life.
At least it's over, if nothing else. Rest in power, DJ.

My high school psychology teacher showed us his documentary in class. It really struck a nerve with me in his tortured yet beautiful soul.
Rest easy, Daniel.

unironically pretty sad bros :(

you realize he was just the CWC of his time

kobain was a dickhead troll he fucked disabled chicks if he was born in the 90s he would be on Yea Forums.

he thought it was funny.

every one shills kobain as some like heartthrob nice guy but he was literally a bisexual theif and life troll. he probably didn't even love Courtney just liked the idea of fucking her fucked up vibe. 99% of the guys and girls that shill him if they met him would think he is lame as fuck and beneth them that is the kobain redpill.. he was cool thou but the way normies found home cool wasn't real.

I don't intend to come across as disrespectful or irreverent of a great artist's passing, but why do you faggots pretend to be personally affected by him dying?
There's almost nothing in the entire world that could be less about you. Why are you grandstanding on a music forum of all places? It's not a competition for who had the most intimate connection with his music. There was no conceivable scenario in which his life didn't end in death, get the fuck over yourselves and honor his legacy as a musician. Characterization of his work as fundamentally sad is a disservice to the complexity of the themes he evoked. It's an ingratiating pity party for people whose only catharsis with his music boils down to

No ones even posting with hubris or ego here, except for you. You literally called out other people for acting like they had a deeper connection with his music and then proceeded to do just that.

don't be sad, i know you will..

Do you think that last album he said he was working on, "If" is what it was called I think, will come out? Do you think he finished it?

[Verse 1]
He was smiling through his own personal hell
Dropped his last dime down a wishing well
But he was hoping too close
And then he fell
Now he’s Casper the friendly ghost

[Verse 2]
He was always polite to the people who’d tell him
That he was nothing but a lazy bum
But goodbye to them he had to go
Now he’s Casper the friendly ghost

[Verse 3]
No one never treated him nice
While he was alive
You can’t buy no respect
Like the librarian said
But everybody respects the dead
They love the friendly ghost

[Verse 4]
And now they say we’ll never forget
What he learned us
We were mean to him
But he never burned us, and
Love lives forever
Thank you, the friendly ghost
Thank you, Casper the friendly ghost

[Outro]
And so the legend grew
And all the people that he knew
Go and spread the news of
Casper the friendly ghost

well maybe listen to one of his records, he is honest and sincere. You'll see why I'm being a prick about respect or whatever. The man deserves it. Any sad lo-fi indie artist from the 90s owes it to this man. Including Beat Happening, Neutral Milk Hotel, and the Mountain Goats. He put lo fi tape recordings on the map

I had to come back for daniel though, none of my friends like him and I know you bros would understand the pain this puts me in

What's your favorite LP Yea Forums? For me it was Artistic Vice.

speaking as a person who is treated for the same mental illness he had, i really believe that his music made him the happiest. having a creative outlet is so healing. but i do agree though, not taking care of physical health is a great challenge and pain and can affect mental health as well.

fuck you zoomer

>He put lo fi tape recordings on the map
Pretty sure that was actually Bruce Springsteen that did that with Nebraska.

thats not what that means

I'm actually really sad about this one. Goin thru his discog rn. IMO this is his best song:

youtube.com/watch?v=-0zrQsuLnGo

It's always seemed really weird to me that everybody idolizes this guy as some kind of indie god, when really he just wanted to be like the Beatles or something. I don't think he really understood entirely why everybody loved him. But for real his shit slaps. Going through his discog now holding back tears. The guy was a legend, some of these songs were just so important to me growing up. I hope 16 year olds breaking away from conventional music will continue to be inspired by him forever

dont hold back bro let it out

i had to come home from work and cry this one out. this one really hurts yall.

True fact: in his earliest days, back when he used to sell his own home made cassettes, Daniel didn't have a dual deck for duplication so he'd simply play and record the songs again to a new cassette. Each cassette was a unique recording.

One thing I've been curious about. In The Devil And Daniel Johnston, it is stated that whenever Daniel made copies of tapes to give out, he would actually re perform the entire album. Have any of these alternate performances ever shown up?

a person with really beautiful and sincere music

"In the early 1990s, he suffered a manic psychotic episode during a plane flight, when, believing he was the cartoon character Casper the Friendly Ghost, he threw the ignition keys for the plane out of its window – he and his father escaped with minor injuries following the subsequent crash. It prompted one of many spells in psychiatric institutions, and he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder....."

Holy fuck, he caused a plane to crash. I'm surprised he survived for as long as he did

THERE'S A HEAVEN AND
THERE'S A STAR FOR YOU

I don't think he had a concept of what a hipster is

he'll be fine
Also I find it amazing how "malleable"/"ageless" his mind is, his favorite band (XTC) didn't come around until he was pushing 30, he learned how to code websites and use digital recording in his mid-40s in the 90s (and jumped head-first onto Bandcamp when it came into existence), and now he's on Twitter at nearly 70 seemingly with a full grasp of millennial post-ironic humor. Labels handle some releases but his operation is still largely DIY including all the technical stuff. Dude's based and seemingly never stuck in the past

Rest in peace, Dan.

...I was just reading about Daniel Johston yesterday and reflecting on how pain-filled his life is. His music was so powerful because his entire existence was fucking horrible.

This saddens me greatly, but at least he's now found some release from his mental torment.

hi how are you. sorry to be basic

i’ll be okay. i’m grateful for the music he made. i feel like it’s easy for people with mental illness to dwell on hardship and make music about depression/whatever, but having severe mental illness and expressing all emotion, not just “oh i’m sad i’m gonna write this whole fucking album about being sad”, in your artistry is amazing in my opinion. i’m happy he did what he did in his life. makes me appreciate life a little bit more.

Just paying respects is fine. Melodramatic retards take it too far with shit like this You're very emotionally immature if your appreciation of an artist's work is at all contingent on whether they're alive. It's idiotic, he died decades ago.

This is truly the worst thing to ever happen on September 11th.

I first found out about Daniel Johnston a few years back, some people were talking about how the song "Wood Jackson" by David Bowie was written about Daniel. I spent the following months being sucked into all of Daniels work, i couldn't believe how much i gravitated towards it, his lyrics, his musical compositions, his personality. I hope he finds all of the peace and love he has always longed for, he's truly inspirational and his work will live on and continue to have an impact on future generations.

daniel johnston is more obscure than that. thats why roky and david berman didnt get thousands of replies or a sticky, they're obscure

i wonder how sad jad fair is right now

you mean the guy who kicked him to the curb in new york city and left him to die?

F

man, i can’t imagine what it’s like to see him perform live. it must’ve been the coziest shit ever.

His mother and father died in 2010 and 2017, respectively.

First off what do you mean he died decades ago? Also no I've loved his music for years and I'm sad that someone who's art has meant a lot to me has died. You're a real cynical bastard and desu cynicism is far more emotionally immature than being genuine.

Daniel Johnston was essentially a clout martyr.

Everyone is claiming this was a random robbery, but it's clear what was actually happening: his killers were driven to take his life solely for the sake of clout. They wanted infamy of their own and found it in gunning down a 58-year old.

As Dan was taking his final breath, he was surrounded by kids taking video and pictures of him. Why? For clout. No one was taking his pulse, no one was calling 911, everyone was standing around with their phones out as his body was clinging to life.

The moral lesson of Johnston's life story should be a cautionary tale of the horrors of social media and how it's fucked our society beyond belief.

RIP Dan. See you in Heaven...

Holy shit, Jeff performed this on the same date as Daniel died, just in 2011. Spooky.

Your assumption that people are so self obsessed speaks more to your own biases than it does to other people. You see genuine expressions of sadness on an anonymous board and you interpret it as somehow self serving. I just don't get it. This is basically a virtual fan wake do you get that?

Take your meds

Just let them have it user.

These kids have a bunch of pent up emotion because they haven't been through shit in life so they look for excuses to moan and be emotional.

It's obnoxious but this generation is narcissist to the max and they can't see past themselves for shit.

you are retarded

Can't believe we live in a Daniel Johnstonless world now

Daniel Johnston fucked kids

Yes I get that. I know some people here are genuinely sad. I also think that there are also a bunch of other people that are self serving, extremely narcissistic and just obnoxious.

I think both things can be true user.

No I don't see the problem, explain yourself?

Imagine having human empathy and understanding that death is a sad event.

Appreciating that someone had a difficult life and made the most of it and mourning their death is just human empathy. It's nothing to do with ego or narcissism, people die and it's sad.

You seem to lack the concept of relativity. People are sad regardless of success, positivity, money, etc.

Humans are infinitely more complex than they shit you are suggesting.

Daniel has been a huge part of my life for many years. I listen to almost exclusively his music. When i'm not listening to his music, i'm listing to covers of his music. His songs have brought me to tears many times. They have given me hope when i felt like i had none. I have his art on my walls. I have a Yip/Jump Music t-shirt. I have an autographed Jeremiah The Innocent on my wall. I have a Jeremiah tattoo.

He had a way of putting into words these basic truths that are so essential to being a human, things that are essential to living a life, and having relationships. He seemed to do this effortlessly, and yet these were things that other artist rarely spoke about, or were never really able to put their finger on. His talent for putting together pieces of music that were so moving and beautiful was unrivaled in my mind.

I'm posting in this thread in spite of the fact that so many people just want to bicker about nothing, because i know that some of you saw what i saw in him, and you loved him like i did. I'm mourning with you today, and i want you to remember that Daniel had a theme in his music. Something that you could hear in just about every single one of his songs. It wasn't sadness. It was hope.

What song was about Mountain Dew?

He was so fucking genuine and sincere. He truly lived and died for art. Rest in peace Daniel, you crazy diamond.

Daniel Johnston was a bipolar schizophrenic who started making music by recording lofi cassette tapes of him singing while playing a chord organ, most tapes being unique performances of each song due to financial constraints. He started giving away the tapes to local music critics for newspapers and people in his neighborhood, grew a cult following and gained enough money to start recording in studios. He gained more exposure after Kurt Cobain wore a shirt with one of his album covers on it, and it resulted in him getting offered two record deals. The first was on Elektra with a really generous contract, but he declined it because he believed Metallica was possesed by Satan and would hurt him. The second time he actually did accept was with Atlantic, but they only distributed one album before pulling the plug due to poor sales. He never gained mainstream commercial success, but he did influence people who were miles more successful than him (Kurt Cobain, Built to Spill, Cage the Elephant, Jason Pierce, as well all these: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Great_Daniel_Johnston:_Discovered_Covered). I think the biggest commercial exposure he's gotten was having one of his songs be featured in an Apple commercial last year.
In my opinion, his best album is 1990, his first hifi album.
This was a mural that Daniel was commissioned to draw by a Texas record store in 1993. The mural apparently became so beloved in the area that the locals living around it have prevented it from being removed even after the store closed. The business that currently occupies the building is a Thai restaurant named "Thai, How Are You".
