Life In Vain (live 2011) - Daniel Johnston

Image
I have always loved Daniel Johnston as he was a do-it-yourselfer musician like me for many years before being discovered and the following video is incredible because of the fact that he has seemed to have been able to hold on to his childlike innocence over all these years.     When I heard him start singing in this performance I couldn´t believe my ears.    He still sounds the same!    This is also one of my favorite Daniel Johnston songs.    If you are interested in finding out more about him check out the documentary The Devil And Daniel Johnston and/or the double album of the same name which features the original songs on one disc and covers of his songs by his musician fans on the other. 

The Department of Darkness by The Department of Darkness

When you go to the page of the new album, The Department of Darkness by The Department of Darkness, the first track to come up is I Hate People.  The Department of Darkness by The Department of Darkness The sound of the whole album reminds me a lot of MC Lars who actually is featured on one of the tracks.   The songs all have witty, kinda silly lyrics that don´t take themselves too seriously and a pretty nice "flow".    All the lyrics are right there next to the songs too which I love. One of my favorite tracks is The Bringer which seems to talk about a UPS guy who is "bringin´ it":  The Department of Darkness by The Department of Darkness The final track that I will include here is Settle Down.  The Department of Darkness by The Department of Darkness So if you like the songs here you will probably like the whole album which you can check out here .
