Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair's album "It's Spooky" is indeed spooky, Jad and Daniel have very similar, strained childlike voices. The songs almost seem to be made up as they go along but this is not totally a bad thing.

The Drumming is erratic, the guitars are sometimes audibly out of tune, and the singing is often misplaced. Despite all this, this album is an endearing classic of bedroom rock.

This record is a classic: hilarious, musically horrible in the best sense, nutty like Lubitsch, irreverant like Lenny Bruce, unabashedly amateurish like noone else. Listening to this music is the best anti-depressant known to man or woman, perhaps second only to the Marx Brothers. Just sit back, put your preconceptions to rest and enjoy! This is a good one to END the evening with, not to BEGIN it. Sweet dreams!

If your idea of great music is out of tune guitars, incompetent drumming, and vocals done by a violent schizophrenic (unless he is medicated), and a guy who seems like he wishes he was still a kid, then this is for you..
