I searched but couldn't find a thread........I loved Daniel Johnston but I'm ashamed to say I hadn't listened to him in years. So sad to hear of his passing. Like his music or not, this is beautiful

I first heard him (I think) on the Kids soundtrack (bad film, great soundtrack if you like lo-fi music) then from the film The Devil and Daniel Johnston, which as music docs go, I can't recommend enough

RIP

Great soundtrack, great film (Harmony Korine innit)

Sad clip, he looks pretty poorly 🙁
RIP

I hadn't listened to him for a while either. He wrote some beautiful songs.

Had his NPR Tiny Desk concert and a Late Great Daniel Johnston playlist on earlier.

That's sad. Love Daniel Johnston.

Never felt as apprehensive before seeing someone live when he played in the tent at the Indian Summer festival in Glasgow 12 or so (maybe more?) years ago. The fear it could have been terrible. But it really wasn't, he was great. Embarrassment of riches that day, DJ in between Spiritualized and Wilco.

They don't make em like that any more.

Running water, what are you running from?

Was only introduced to his music a little while ago.  He was great and it’s a bit of a loss.
