Kashiwa Daisuke - Program Music I I have listened to this a few times before but I must have been distracted as for some reason I had no memory of it. Fully focused now and it is blowing me away. Amazing hybrid of electronic and classical music.

I enjoyed a bunch of Fats Domino today. I know that it doesn't technically fit in this thread, since I didn't listen to an album, but to be fair he didn't record any albums... just singles. Anyway, fun, danceable, old school rhythm and blues. Always good! JJ DOOM. I've heard a lot of so-so reviews and opinions for this, but I have been loving it. I may be biased since MF DOOM is my favorite rapper and I think everything he does is good, but this is da bomb. Ihsahn, After. Progressive, experimental, jazzy black metal with occasional spurts of more traditional heavy metal! Has some crazy intense moments, some calmer moments, some awesome sax solos. Pretty dang good. Now I need to check out the rest of his work.

Yip/Jump Music (1983) by Daniel Johnston I'm not one to hop on the "Daniel Johnston is a disturbed genius" bandwagon, but I still feel he is still an incredibly clever and creative person. This is my absolute favorite release of his, and it remains relatively consistent throughout its entirety (which is rare for Johnston). The only track on the album that I thought could have been omitted was "King Kong," a rather monotonous, vapid song. However, the rest of the album features clever, witty lyrics that range anywhere from depressing and raw to naive and cute. And, of course, there are those famous infectious melodies that thrive in Daniel Johnston's songwriting. In fact, I can't tell you how many times I've found myself playing this album in my car and singing along to it (it's a rather strange and pitiful sight, I assure you). Anyways, this is definitely the album to listen to if you want to enter the world of Daniel Johnston. It's recording quality is superior in comparison to the rest of his early output, and it exhibits the kind of songwriting that is commonly associated with him. A lo-fi/indie masterpiece, hands-down. Recommended Albums: > Don't Be Scared (1982) > 1990 > Songs of Pain (1981) > Hi, How Are You (1983) |

Is there actually a bandwagon that you described? If so, that whole wagon is entirely wrong. Johnston is not disturbed but, rather, certifiably insane. And clearly not a genius. I hope you've watched the documentary about him. If not, do.

That documentary ruined listening to Daniel Johnston for me. It's just incredibly depressing. On a side track I'm pretty cool with bands I like being in commercials but I saw an Axe commercial with a Jonston song and it just pissed me off.
