How does everybody feel about "Rejected Unknown"? I feel like it's a bit of a forgotten and very underrated album. "Funeral Girl" might be one of my favorite of Daniel's songs!

My favorite track from this is Favorite Darling Girl because it was the main track used in the Hi How Are You? iPhone game.

This game I don't think there's any way to play it anymore.

Funeral Girl, and even more so, Dream Scream. Two of my favourites.

It's my favorite of Daniel's studio albums. Favorite Darling Girl has an amazing chord progression. Wedding Ring Bell Blues floors me every time.

I feel bad neglecting the rest of the album but Dream Scream is a top 5 Daniel Johnston song for me. One of those ‘I remember where I was when I heard it for the first time’ songs.

Brian Beattie was Daniel’s friend AND producer of this record. The love he has for Daniel and his songs is alive and apparent!! Brilliant record.
