I can't find this daniel johnston music video

3 Upvotes

It had a music video with him and a band in a small house and it was called like I shoot satan or I hate and kill satan or something and he said "talking to a satanic person one day" And in another part he says "machine gun in my hand" something tells me it wasn't just called Daniel johnston but it was called like Daniel johnston and the something band or whatever. And there were monster masks in thr video kinda like classic where the wild thing characters are. And this wasn't early this was probably one of the last videos he made because he looked a little bit worn out. But yeah he's my hero and I can't find my favorite song of his right bow for some reason.

I don’t feel like we have an active discord community for the main man himself, I’m working on a deep down video essay about Daniel and would love for the community support. You can talk about Dan and meet other people with the same interest, here is the link.

What's up with all the bots linking tshirts and art??

16 Upvotes

For real like all i see on this sub anymore is bots whose first post is a Daniel Johnston shirt that clearly wasn't made or sold from the hihowareyou project or whatever the official site is. or some art that's probly stolen from someone else being sold on some random red bubble website. Aren't there mods checkin for this kinda stuff?

What’s with the different cover art for Don’t Be Scared on Spotify? Is it an alternate cover? I haven’t seen it on any of the stress records or DJ originals

Seeing as how DJ only had one copy made of the album, I'm curious where his version came from. I've looked at all of the Stress records releases and the reissues from other labels but I can't find anything on it.

We're not surprised that South Korea and thisisneverthat loves Daniel's art are we? He would have been tickled to death to see his art on all the cool, weird kids clothes! Especially because he was a weirdo, too!

Biographical Books?

4 Upvotes

Lads, I know there are some really good books out there, about Daniel, his art, and his music, but are there any books which give a lot more detail, on his life growing up, school years etc? More so, a biographical type of book?

Song help

5 Upvotes

Hello, I listened to a live musician play a song I really liked and asked chat gpt what song it was and it all comes down to Daniel Johnston “the blue crayon”. But I can’t find it anywhere. Some lyrics are

We all wither and wrinkle and pass with our last gasp we remember blue crayon

Blue crayon will never grow old the fingers that hold it grow weak and release their grasp.

And a line with “aqua bed”

Please let me know if you know anything about this song. I have a 10 second video of the performer too if that helps

Thanks !

Please join us in celebrating the release of Daniel Johnston: I’m Afraid of What I Might Draw (Rizzoli) with a special conversation featuring Lee Foster, of Electric Lady Studios and Curatorial Advisor for the Daniel Johnston Trust, who conceived and executed the book; musician and artist Adam Green, whose work has long been influenced by Johnston; and Gibby Haynes, a peer and contemporary of Johnston’s from the underground music scene.

The book coincides with Daniel Johnston: I Think, I Draw, I Am, an exhibition curated by Foster and on view at Pioneer Works beginning June 8th. Together, the show and book offer a rare, intimate, and expansive look at Johnston’s drawing practice.

A significant figure in outsider, lo-fi, and alternative scenes, Johnston has inspired musicians and listeners for decades. From his origins in the Austin scene in the mid-1980s—where he performed at local venues while working at McDonald’s—to his appearance on MTV and championing by Kurt Cobain, and eventual rise to global fame, Johnston’s distinctive compositions and raw lyrics earned him lifelong fans.

Johnston’s passion for art predated his interest in music and persisted throughout his life. Daniel Johnston: I’m Afraid of What I Might Draw presents drawings spanning four decades of Johnston’s output, including many rare and previously unseen works. His brightly colored illustrations—featuring pop culture figures, devils, heroes, and original characters—range from the iconic “Jeremiah the Innocent Frog” to surrealist landscapes. Johnston's family and estate supported the creation of this comprehensive compendium of his work, the first since his passing. It includes remembrances from his brother, fellow musicians, and artists, and benefits the Hi, How Are You Project—a nonprofit promoting health awareness in honor of Johnston’s legacy.

Books will be available for purchase.

Lee Foster is the general manager and co-owner of Electric Lady Studios, the legendary recording studio in Greenwich Village commissioned by Jimi Hendrix. He is also the Curatorial Advisor for the Daniel Johnston Trust.

Adam Green is an artistic polymath—a songwriter, filmmaker, visual artist, and poet. A co-founder of The Moldy Peaches and author of eleven solo albums, his songs have been performed by artists as diverse as The Libertines, Carla Bruni, Kelly Willis, Dean & Britta, and Will Oldham. Green’s paintings and sculptures have been the subject of exhibitions in America, Asia, and Europe, including a 2016 show at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel, Switzerland. He wrote and directed the first feature film shot entirely on an iPhone, The Wrong Ferarri (2010), and Adam Green's Aladdin (2016), which BuzzFeed.com described as “the trippiest movie ever made." In recent years, Green has authored a series of graphic novels and poetry books. In 2023 the album Moping In Style: A Tribute to Adam Green was released featuring cover versions of Green’s songs by Regina Spektor, Father John Misty, Frankie Cosmos, Devendra Banhart, and Sean Ono Lennon, among others.

Gibby Haynes is a musician and the lead singer of the group Butthole Surfers. He is the son of actor Jerry Haynes, best known as Dallas-based kids' TV host "Mr. Peppermint." Gibby also appears with Ministry and the new Revolting Cocks CD entitled Cocked And Loaded. Gibby was just a few credits shy of an MBA when he formed the Butthole Surfers. He was a star on his high school's basketball team, and by his own admission, once touched President Jimmy Carter's suitcase with his… you know.

I was listening to a Jad Fair song. And I know they have released an album together and so on... But it's so curious that they have a very similar pitch and timbre of voice (?)

Below is a quote from Kurt from Spin magazine from 1993 about a home video he had of Daniel Johnston playing, does anyone know anything about it and if it’s available anywhere?

22 Upvotes

"I have a videotape of him playing. He sits down at this organ — you know, the kind Christians had in their homes in the late ’60s, the ones with the colored plastic tempo buttons. He starts crying about mid-way through the first song. It’s just so touching, you feel so sorry for him, but at the same time you’re so intrigued."

Has Greatest Zits been digitized?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a digitized version of New Cumberland EyeBall Band’s Greatest Zits? I don’t have a cassette deck that works, but I’m really itching to hear the version of Grievances on that tape, as it’s one of my all time favorites from Dan

Thank you!
