Nothing: Daniel Johnston Friday 14th April - Barbican London

Nothing: Daniel Johnston Friday 14th April - Barbican London: "Then it's Jason Pierce from
Spiritualised.
He seems reverential in regards to Daniel's songs, and performs 'True Love Will Find You in the End',
and 'Funeral Home'. The string quartet and gospel backing singers are a touch too much, the tenuous nature of the songs are rendered
bloated and overblown. The words 'Funeral Home' are repeated ad infinitum to tedium.
Then as the stage is emptied it's the moment we've all been built up for, the Brian Wilson-like, mad, obsessive songwriting
genius - Daniel Johnston. "


Look forward to lots and lots of Daniel blogging as the "Speeding Motorcycle" approaches...
