Daniel Johnston Is And Always Was (new MP3, tracklist, art)
DOWNLOAD: Daniel Johnston - Freedom (new MP3)
Daniel Johnston & Jason Falkner
"With the October 6, 2009 release of his latest - and possibly greatest - work, Is And Always Was, Daniel Johnston adds another chapter to his artistic legend.That snippet of a press release is official confirmation of the new Daniel Johnston album that I mentioned on Thursday. Further proof is the MP3 above, and the cover art and tracklist below...Is And Always Was is a decided step away from the lo-fi homemade recordings for which Johnston is famous. "Everyone needs to take their demos and go back to the studio," says Daniel.
On this album, Daniel allied with the musician and producer Jason Falkner, who is known for his own stellar solo career as well as his work with Beck, Air, and Paul McCartney. With Jason manning the boards, "Is And Always Was" was a project that aimed to take the rock and roll symphonies in Daniel's prolific musical brain and deliver fully-realized and professionally-produced recorded songs. "He possesses that rare individuality that makes the listener wonder where this music comes from," Falkner says of Daniel Johnston. "It was challenging to make our minds work together but I really found myself immersed in his musical world. It's a unique place to live, that's for sure!""
Daniel JohnstonAlso coming soon is a Daniel Johnston "iPhone game that features his art characters and music."

Very exciting. I already have tickets to see him in November, so this could be interesting.

Daniel Johnston made another mark. Anyway, I've heard a lot about him. Is the music for free?

His songs are pretty cool. I just don't like his lisp but he can't help it, so whatever.

Daniel Johnston is where all the terrible musicians of the world meet. Most of them never heard his music. They think it's cool to like a retarded guy who calls himself a serious musician.
He's an insult to the mentally retarded.

he's one of the greatest LO-FI musicians. if you don't like him and think he's terrible it's most likely cause you don't respect or enjoy LO-FI music. move on. go listen to bon jovi or U2 or something. stop hatin', we love danny.

So Daniel Johnston is where all the terrible musicians of the world meet? You mean like David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Beck, Death Cab For Cutie, Mercury Rev, Tom Waits, Bright Eyes and so on??
Or could it perhaps be the other way around?
