‘Let’s take a nap from books’ Wednesday
Someone put a computer in a dead beaver. Smarter monkeys have few close friends and a lot of acquaintances. Someone made an iPhone game based on Daniel Johnston. Did I mention that someone put a computer in a dead beaver?

i used to live three blocks from the original hi, how are you mural in austin. i always recognized it as ‘that thing on that shirt kurt cobain wore’ and little beyond that. when i first heard daniel johnston (on an original tape) i realized (in what could be called a ‘moment of clarity’) what the mural was exactly, and what it meant that johnston had become popular via a totally decentralized and organic system of college radio play and tape dubs shared and mailed out of love. i connected with the music, the recording ethos of 80s diy, etc., all of it.
it seemed like the coolest phenomenon ever and the fact that i walked by this actual mural all the time made me feel like that sort of thing was still possible and a realistically achievable goal. then they made that documentary and everyone was suddenly the biggest fan dj fan in the world. it made me feel sick to my stomach to see daniel and his music marketed that way (not that he wasn’t into being on mtv before or anything) but i was like, whatever, i’m not going to be a nay saying indier-than-though poopyface. so i’ve generally taken the attitude of like, cool.
but WHY did they have to make that daniel johnston game? WHY? WHY? WHY? someone tell me i’m an asshole. i need to hear it. punch me in the face and make me eat shit. i want to be punished… what?
