While Daniel Johnston's music is great on its own, covers of his work have always shone brightly, with M. Ward's perfect "To Go Home" coming to mind. Lady Lazarus joins the company of artists with excellent Daniel Johnston covers with her take on "Story Of An Artist," which holds a beauty all its own while maintaining the integrity of the song's original haunting words. Check it out below and download it for free. Also, visit Lady Lazarus' Bandcamp for more from her. Story of an Artist (Daniel Johnston [...]
Eef Barzelay's voice is whiny and pinched, more like Daniel Johnston than anyone else on the circuit, though without the atonality and lack of rhythmic sense which so characterizes the man he often covers in concert. His on-again off-again band, Clem Snide , which he reformed in 2009 after a pair of Barzelay-only solo records, lists themselves as a kind of alt-countrified indie rock, and tends to perform in a slightly nerdy, postmodern grunge vein, resulting in a sparse deadpan sensibility reminiscent of their namesake, a character who appears in several novels by William S. Burroughs. [...]

All towns have stories. Sometimes it's just nice historical folklore or a tale about some out of the ordinary or weird thing somebody did. These are songs that remind me of the suburban town Westfield NJ. This could be your town. West Of The Fields MP3 by R.E.M. from Murmur I always considered this my hometown's theme song but always at the same time I wondered where the fields were? Since we only have sports fields and no wheat or corn anywhere. It's freaking suburbia where the MILF's run wild in [...]
She & Him/Monster of Folk’s M. Ward has not only been revisiting his back catalog of original solo material while on tour , but he has worked a varying list of cover songs — some of which he’s released studio versions of — into the live repertoire as well. Occasionally joined by tourmates Howe Gelb & the Band of Gypsies, Ward performed stripped-down versions of 1983 David Bowie hit “Let’s Dance,” Hold Time track Buddy Holly’s “Rave On,” Leonard Cohen’s “Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye,” and more. Below, we’ve culled the best new [...]
Sparklehorse didn't record very many covers. Here's a look at a few of the interesting cover versions Mark Linkous left to us including Pink Floyd, Vic Chesnutt and Daniel Johnston.
What? How did this happen all of a sudden? Sort of rellavation that two very different musical trail blazers turned 50 this year along with many other singing alternative icons. Daniel Johnston's Birthday was in January and Henry Rollins's was 02.13.61 to be exact. I know this because it says it on the spine of the Black Flag tour diary he wrote called Get In The Van |||| . Fast forward and the Rollins Band is playing a show at The Fastlane II in Asbury Park and he mentions he [...]
It still boggles my mind that everyone who digs music doesn't love Daniel Johnston . What is stranger to me, is that a fair amount of people haven't really heard much of him past the "hits"... if that. Admittedly, the recording quality of a bulk of his music is sub sub par, but if you can look past that(I mean seriously big whoop) you find one of the most amazing and influential american musicians ever. You would be hard pressed to find modern musicians you love that haven't been in some way influenced/fallen in love.. by/with the [...]

While the norm is to cover Daniel Johnston songs, we compiled when he covers others like The Beatles, Schoolhouse Rock and more.

Last month Death Cab For Cutie returned to the spotlight with "You Are A Tourist," the great first single and video from their forthcoming Codes And Keys . A sunny addition to our spring playlist, it recalls brighter moments of mid-period Cure when it's not channeling "Float On." That's fitting given how Ben Gibbard's got five Cure covers in his live repertoire. In fact I can't remember ever seeing seeing the guy perform without hearing some other band's song in the set. So before we gear up to collectively prematurely evaluate Codes , here's a listen back at [...]
