Time Text
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.
