Naa I agree, I've seen the documentary and he can't play for shit, he's got heart but no talent. People see Kurt Cobain wear his t shirt and now he's a musical genius.
@MGFenton music isn't about how well you play, it's about conveying emotion. he's very good at that no matter what anyone thinks of his playing ability
@MGFenton i respect your opinion and i can see what you're saying but i love the images he creates when i listen to him. i would definitely consider him a fantastic song writer and i personally don't see how anyone can see otherwise, but if you can't look past his unrefined vocals then i can see why you wouldn't be a fan
I dont get it. I think that most of you faggs are just following the scene. If more and more people say he's a genius then he must be right? Fuck that it sucks, its juvenile and crap.
omg...i love how at the beginning he's talking about not receiving gifts for christmas and not having someone to take you to the mall...and at the end it takes a drastic turn...and ends so tragically. FUCK I LOVE IT.
if youve ever been broke and you write songs,you know how difficult it is to get a decent recording.especially,when most people only consider the recordings with the most expensive price tags to be good.add not hearing what your recording as youre recording;doing it in one take and accepting it as is and being mentally ill....make these considerations and he is impressive.....he recorded 30 lps with no budget,while fighting the demons.
he is impressive for completely real reasons, that's like saying a small asian boy on youtube singing jason mraz is good despite his horrible disadvantage, it's not like i would buy his album
Anyone compaining about the quality needs to shut the fuck up. His music sounds and fits much better on cassette tape instead of over produced studio bullshit. Love this song.
That's not Daniel at the end. It sounds more like one of his college buddies and a girl friend of his. Dan did a lot of acting with his friends on his old cassettes, of which you can listen to from his Cassette Tape Dialogues.
I want to lie this guy, but I just can't. Aside from the poor quality, everything seems so scattered. It's kind of hard to find a resting place with his music. Yeah it's pretty creative, but at the same time it sounds like the expression of a bunch of random thoughts, and nothing more, at times. Maybe he will grow on me.
yeah, unfortunately it seems it takes watching the film for most people to get into him. which kind of sucks.. but the listener should be able to understand the intent of daniel, and patch the gaps together. personally, i enjoy the gaps and hisses, but i can also hear where he wanted it to go. listening to him is fun if you can hear the sections that simply aren't there.. but meant to be
i don't understand what you mean about it being scattered. I'm sorry I'm not trying to put you down but how is it scattered? it's a song about being alone. I think it's rather to the point. I do think, however, some of his music does seem a bit incomplete but (not to sound snobbish) I'm kind of a singer/songwriter (Joel West on myspace.lol) myself and I can say from experience it's kind of good practice to just strum out every idea you have and sift through it all later for what you really like.
I'm no one, so at least you'll have me left. daniel is kinda easily hurt but his art more than makes up for it that's for sure...
