anyone heard this guy? i find it really amazing. he has had loads of mental health problems over the years but its still about sometimes. better than bob dylan imo.
i just saw the dvd - the devil and daniel johnston. its crazy. that mans life is crazy.
he was once flying back from a gig in his dads plane (he was like 35 at this point and had just come out of a mental hospital) and he was reading a casper the friendly ghost comic. on the front was casper parachuting so he said to his dad that he wanted to do it. his dad said they didn't have any parachutes, so daniel johnston got angry, turned the engine off and threw the keys out the window. his dad had to crash land in a load of trees. the funniest thing is the pics of him afterwards, he has a massive smile on his face as he things he did a good thing.
anyway, you should watch the dvd, or watch some of his stuff on youtube, he really is amazing. | |

if you watch this listen to the third movement, which in my opinion is the very best a foxtrot can be! ;)
starts at 4:32
The other movements are fun (and one of them was an early version of a piece used in Eyes Wide Shut,btw) but extremely light. The third movement both makes me want to cry and also kind of horny at the same time! hahah.

Otterfan - thanks! I haven't heard that in awhile.. the duophonic part at the end of the first movement is what I used to obsess over... that guy plays it a bit weak. I'm usually always bothered by drifty and squeeky bowing .. ... I used to play in a awkward way .. bass sideways on my stomach .. bow on the bridge with tons of stuck icky on it .. tilt for crescendo's ... my teacher would tell me not to change it... and to not get private lessons because they would just waste all their time trying to "fix" me. She would always play this piece for me ... she gave me a tape of it and I can't find it, .. I bet it's the recording you have because it was all piano and bass.
I'd love a copy!
