My name is Calvin Johnson and I can't really sing but I sorta pretend anyway. There is also a girl in the band that does the same with slightly better results. However I did make this landmark album that a lot of people enjoy regardless. Plus I created K Records.
I like. Find out why here.
The Complete Guide to Insufficiency is the debut album by David Thomas Broughton, released in 2005. The entire album was recorded in a single continuous take at a church in Leeds - the church bells can be heard during the record. It was originally released by small indie label Birdwar in the UK before being licensed by Plug Research for US release. The title is a play on the name of John Seymour's book The Complete Guide to Self-Sufficiency.
Elf Power's 1999 effort A Dream In Sound. Dreamy pop from a band related to the Elephant Six collective (Neutral Milk Hotel, etc.). Perfect for a stoned summer day.

"Daniel Dale Johnston (born January 22, 1961) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and artist. Johnston was the subject of the 2006 documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston. He currently lives in Waller, Texas.
Johnston has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. One critic writes that Johnston's recordings range from "spotty to brilliant."
Pretty much what I'd have to say on him. Some of the songs are pretty bad, some of them are pretty perfect pieces of pop. Either way it's a pretty interesting look into his head, which is pretty messed up.
Will Oldham is a prolific motherfucker. Dude has put out more albums than I care to count. He's also done a couple movies, appeared on a Sage Francis song, and been covered by Johnny Cash. Anyway, take a gander here.
