But how can it recognize you

Unless you step out into the light, the light

Daniel Johnston - I'll Do Anything But Break Dance For Ya, Darling

just beautiful

The keys on this one still haunt me to this day. 
I swear I must’ve heard this when I was just getting into high school. I listened to Hi, How Are You? for the first time back then and it immediately left an imprint on me. I think I got into this album because it was made around the same time and the style that I loved from Daniel was there. To this day, I still remember listening to this stuff late at night, back in my childhood room, naive, without any scope of just how big the world around me was. I was just a young teenager and this music was a monumental part of my life at such a turbulent time.
Just wanted to share a little Daniel Johnston story for posterity and because it made me smile. Have a nice day. - Rye (10/03/19)

Obviously not my music, but I wanted to share my remastered/pitch corrected version of it. One of my all-time favorites of his. R.I.P. Daniel.

Retired Boxer (1984), Respect (1985), Continued Story (1985), Daniel Johnston

My next trilogy of Daniel Johnston records is simply the three before 1990 – Retired Boxer, Respect and Continued Story. All are a bit shorter, hanging around the half-hour mark, but still potent and full of Johnston’s intimacy and charm.

It’s listening to these, my seventh through ninth Johnston albums, that I really begin to grasp the immense emotional value of his music. He achieves a remarkable amount of natural attachment, not out of sympathy but friendliness, emotionality. Both Retired Boxer and Respect are very much typical Johnston records in this regard: very close, very intuitive singer-songwriter works with frequent, disarming bouts of tenderness.  

Continued Story is likely the exception, a charming and characterful work but one of Johnston’s weaker ones. The band, The Texas Instruments, to someone that had followed Johnston from his beginnings, somehow detract from the intimacy achieved through just Johnston and his listener.

Pick: ‘True Love Will Find You In the End’, ‘Go’, ‘Funeral Home’

LAS VEGAS | Mayweather says he will hold exhibition with Japanese star

LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather says he and Japanese kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa will meet after all — but only in a nine-minute New Year’s Eve exhibition.

Mayweather said the match in Tokyo would be for entertainment purposes only, with no judges, no official record — and no kicking.

“I’m in the entertainment business. That’s what I go out there to do,” Mayweather said Thursday at his Las…
