This reminds me of "You're going to miss me" the documentary about Austin's other wack job, Roky Erikson. The difference is Roky always sounds good no matter how out of his mind he is, where as Daniel almost never sounds good. And the movie actually compares him to Brian Wilson. Yes, if Brian Wilson had little musical talent, I could see the comparison. Daniel is an interesting, creative character, no doubt. The story, sad and scary. He just doesn't have much musical talent, and seems to exist for the pretentious art crowd to pretend to like to prove how open minded or alternative they are. I can see why Kurt Cobain liked him though. He finally found someone more overrated than himself. Austin has great songwriters. Kinky Freidman, Roky Erickson, Bob Schneider, etc. Daniel is like 100 other musicians I've met over the years. Quirky, artistic, self involved. The difference is most of them could play and sing.
