00:04:44

|
| When I saw you standing there, it was the start live from New York. | |
| It's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McGuinness. | |
| What I thought I felt in your touch was the start of my hard time when I thought that it meant so much that was part of my hard time. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Welcome back to the Tuesday episode of Get Off My Lawn. | |
| That was Daniel Johnson and a guest appearance by the Rhythm Rats. | |
| Or possibly the other way around. | |
| Maybe it was the Rhythm Rats and a guest appearance by Daniel Johnson. | |
| One of the most talented songwriters in the world. | |
| Just unbelievable sprinkles. | |
| Very lo-fi, of course. | |
| He'd use like a Fisher Price recorder for most of his shit. | |
| Even that's low. | |
| But even in that lo-fi living room with like three dudes, you can hear his talent. | |
| Like that. | |
| Let's hear it again. | |
| When I knew that you were free, I was long in your hard times. | |
| Great guy. | |
| Speeding motorcycle might be the one that you want to start with if you're not familiar with Daniel Johnson. | |
| Are you familiar with Daniel Johnson, Ryan? | |
| I am. | |
| There was that cool documentary. | |
| Yeah, he's nuts. | |
| Tried to kill himself when he was in his dad's plane. | |
| His dad had a little like two-prop plane, and he goes, let's go, dad, and was like trying to sink it. | |
| Wow. | |
| His dad cries. | |
| He's dead now. | |
| Daniel Johnson. | |
| Probably the dad, too. | |
| I get him confused with the other guy who does like acoustic stuff with that. | |
| What's that drawing where it's like an alien looking thing? | |
| That's him. | |
| Oh, it isn't. | |
| Then there's another guy. | |
| Then I get him confused. | |
| I'll find out. | |
| Okay, not helping. | |
| What are you doing? | |
| Oh, it's not linked? | |
| No. | |
| What's the song again? | |
| That song is Hard Time by Daniel Johnson and the Rhythm Rats. | |
| Oh, Speedy Motorcycle, yeah. | |
| I remember this song. | |
| Yola Tango does a good cover of it. | |
| He also did this song I Have Trouble Finding with Jad Fair. | |
| And it's like, you were there tied to a chair. | |
| Frankenstein had you by your hair. | |
| Steady motorcycle. | |
| Oh, who's the one who was killed by his girlfriend? | |
| Elliot Smith? | |
| Yes. | |
| What the fuck has he got to do with Elliot Smith? | |
| I get them confused with each other. | |
| That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. | |
| This sounds like Elliot Smith to you? | |
| No, I didn't say it sounds anything like him. | |
| I said I get them confused. | |
| How? | |
| Zoom out so people can see it. | |
| Yola Tango do a great cover of that. | |
| And then there's the Chad Fair thing where they're talking about monsters. | |
| He was special. | |
| That's right. | |
| You want to do it? | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay. | |
| Daniel, first of all, I think I better introduce you to this band. | |
| Okay, hi, band. | |
| Hi, Daniel. | |
| Last fight. | |
| Are we ready? | |
| Are you ready? | |
| Okay, hi, band. | |
| He must have done this on the phone. | |
| Wait, wait, wait. | |
| That's fine. | |
| We're right there. | |
| Count it down. | |
| No, no, we're right there with him. | |
| Okay. | |
| Anyway, you get the idea. | |
| I was at the bar last night. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| Let's jump ahead here to the song you pulled up earlier. | |
| So that's a talented dude with a broken brain. | |
| Here's a non-talented person with a broken brain. | |
| Spicy Leonci. | |
| Icy Spicy Leonsi. | |
| Donald, Donald, is America's greatest president. | |
| Is that your mom, Ryan? | |
| No, my mom looks nothing like that. | |
| He's a patriotist like the Himmelfront traitor. | |
