    The dvd came out this week. I saw the doc. more than a year ago at the sf indie film fest. Check it out, it is such a great film.

    I'll second that. Don't care for the guy's music, but the film is really, really good. And sad.

    I knew Daniel way back before a bunch of douche fucks made him the local freak show.. hes a pretty fucked up dude.

    so much fun to play with, so easy to discard when he gets 'difficult'.

    fucking assholes. i hate the music scene.

    I like his music. I really feel sorry for him though. The dude is fucked in the head and people just want to use him.

    yes hes a very overweight and unhealthy like 50 year old man.

    I knew him alittle before he got 'famous'. He worked at a macdonalds near my house and was always trying to give me tapes and stuff.

    In the book I read, it said he was always giving away tapes to people but didn't want anyone to ever review them in magazines. He played in San Diego a number of years ago at the same bar the Nerdquake party was at. I missed out on seeing him though because there was zero promotion for it. I'm hoping he gets better so I can see him play some day.
