Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

My friend Christopher came over last night and we hung out in the studio for hours drinking beer and making noise. Here is a cover of a Daniel Johnston song that we played last night, Mean Girls Give Pleasure (soundcloud.com)

Great job on the cover.

DJ wrote a lot of pretty songs, and if he had had George Martin as a producer (and hadn't been burdened with mental illness) his stuff would have been just as solid as the Beatles.

I was lucky enough to see him twice. Both times he brought a six-pack of Mt Dew onstage, and finished it before the end of the set.

Thanks!

That's so awesome that you got to see him! His songs are so touching and honest!

Yeah, I have his autograph on a few things from when I saw him at Bumbershoot. Really friendly fellow.

Here's his original "True Love Will Find You In The End". (youtube.com) Raw and dark, recorded to a cassette player.

There have been a lot of covers, but check out this version. (youtube.com)

If someone could've produced him, he would've been huge.

Carried over:

Mike signs his pretty consistently. He goes by "Music Man Mike" and uses some notes in his signature. The whole crew is there in ink. That took me like six hours of driving and visiting. After all the other BS that went into getting 'em!

And, that's an entirely new song to me. Never heard it before.

That Daniel Johnston is some schizophrenic guy who wrote songs and recorded them in his parents basement in the 80's. He got famous somehow and some of his songs are awesome

LOL Until today, I don't think I've ever heard of 'em.
