Half Japanese had a show in Austin and Daniels manager Jeff Tartakov gave me a tape of Hi How Are You?. I loved it and began corresponding with Jeff and Daniel. A few years later I was in NYC to take part in a recording session of Moe Tucker at Kramers studio Noise New York. Daniel was at the studio and he and I became friends. Daniel recorded two songs with lyrics I wrote. He recorded Do It Right for Moes album, and Some Things Last A Long Time for his album 1990. Soon after his time in NYC I invited him to my home and we had a week to record the songs for Its Spooky. I considered Daniel to be a genius. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. Im so grateful to have it released again and its sounding better than ever thanks to an amazing mastering job by Kramer. Jad Fair This is the sound of friendship, of love unfurling. Everett True // I never saw anything like the force-of-nature that was Daniel Johnston. Ever. And im sure I never again will. But theres more than just one force-of-nature in American music; Jad Fair is a hurricane unto himself. Kramer
