oh for crying out loud, if you want authentic Daniel Johnston, listen to Daniel Johnston! K. McCarty's covers are full of humor, respect and affection. I've always wanted to hear Nick Cave cover DJ!

Granny -- I was talking about the actual Daniel Johnston album I played, which some folks thought didn't sound like "authentic" DJ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18pm
Mx. Granny (e/em):

oh, yeah, when he got "produced." well, i think he had a good time, didn't he?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm
Mx. Granny (e/em):

i get it when the rough edges get scrubbed off and polished, it feels like some of the quirky beauty is lost (and it is!). I thought that the Dot Wiggin Band did an excellent job of bringing fine production to the project without losing the weird flavors of The Shaggs we've all come to love.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:21pm

Agree about Dot! Also, you just can't scrub the rough edges off of Daniel:)
