this is the 5th self-released music cassette album by Daniel Johnston. the best way to learn about Daniel Johnston is by listening to his songs. Or you can get a good idea about the guy from watching the documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston. but since this is Album of the week and not Movie of the week you should listen to Yip/Jump Music: Summer 1983. i really like the art work too. website has some info and more art.

rocket ship might be one of my favorite songs ever.

I laughed at King Kong. Literal retelling of the movie, with only one interpretive intrusion: “it was like a phallic symbol.” hahahaha. A few of these songs are pretty good, but I have a hard time thinking I would want to listen more than once to most of them.
