Hi How Are You/Continued Story Dual Set

Back in the '80s, the mentally ill Daniel Johnston got adopted as a "genius" by the Austin weekly paper. (And then in the '90s, Kurt Cobain wore a T-shirt with Johnston's logo, which gave him some alt credibility.)Johnston is pitiful. The songs on this CD are like something your drug-addled teen would come up with in the basement of your home. (Surprise! Once Johnston left his home for Austin, he did too much LSD and was thereafter in and out of mental hospitals. His very-patient parents had to live with him for the rest of his life.)

I read the couple of reviews about this CD before purchasing it. I think that it has a "nostalgic air" to it. I would not give it 5 star but I have been captivated by Daniel Johnston lyrics and music. His performance of the songs on this CD are very rough. I have seen a few YouTube.com performances of his where he sings with a band live. I think these are much better versions of the songs than the ones on the CD. Don't let this stop you from purchasing this CD however. It's a good introduction to Dan Johnston music. It's been interesting getting to know who Daniel is as an music artist. I would buy the CD again.

I thought this might be interesting, since supposedly he influenced some well known musicians. Sounds like it was recorded on a two track recorder. Terrible recording and the songs are just as bad. By a beer with your money and pour it over your head. That would be a more exciting experience.

How do you rate this type, or style of music? Well, it is unique to say the least. It has its own charm to it that cannot be found anywhere else. While I enjoy it, I would recommend giving it a listen before you buy it to see if it is your cup of tea first.

Daniel Johnston’s music is equal parts weird and wonderful - a combo of unlistenable tracks and absolute gems.

The thing about the CD is that I only bought it for "HI, How Are You" because two CDs in one for cheap, of course I'd take that deal. However, "Continued Story" is definitely not as good as i thought it would be. I still very much enjoyed " Hi, How Are You". So if you purchase this don't expect "Continued Story" to be the masterpiece that "Hi, How Are You" is

Daniel Johnston - what more can I say.

It's not well recorded, the notes aren't all in tune, but Daniel Johnston is just pure artistic genius

A great album by the King of Lo-fi, Daniel Johnston I love you...

I had these two albums on cassette tapes years ago so i was pleased at getting them again in good condition and on CD.

Apart from the big brown, I assume (and hope), tea stain on the front cover (which was never mentioned for some reason...), everything seems to work fine.

Album culte, on le sait depuis que Kurt Cobain nous l'a fait connaitre ! A part ça ? Le son est plutot voire completement pourri (Hi How are you avec son son de K7 audio), mais les morceaux sont completement énormes. Simples, concis mais énormes (et completement barrés).

カート・コバーンが着ていたＴシャツを見て、ダニエル・ジョンストンに興味を持った人は多いはず。しかし、カートの着ていたHi, How Are Youのアルバムは廃盤になっており、入手困難でした。最近ダニエルのドキュメンタリー映画が公開され再評価される中、ついに再発されました！しかもデジタル・リマスターされており、今までの宅録の良さも残しながら、非常に音がクリアなって聴きやすいです。本当にこの音質には驚きました！パッケージもデジパック仕様で、ミニポスターつき…。これはもう買うしかないでしょう！
