EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Daniel Johnston - I Had Lost My Mind

(Photo: Tim Broddin)

Daniel Johnston is known mainly for two things: having Kurt Cobain as a famous fan, and having spent a good portion of his life dealing with schizophrenia. His immense catalog of songs — tender, honest, direct and weird, often all at once — somehow gets short shrift. Take “I Had Lost My Mind,” a brief, wildly catchy tune from Is and Always Was (due the first week of October). Again, Johnston has been in and out of hospitals throughout his adult life…and here he is writing a cheery song about literally misplacing his brain. “Well can you identify it please?” he’s asked by a lady at the Lost & Found. I mean — wow. Will this get recognized as great art, with or without the "outsider" tag? Johnston hits the road for a handful of dates in support of the album, find them after the break.
