YouTube Treats - Daniel Johnston at Studio SX - "I Feel Like A Monkey In A Zoo In This Place!"

As a former and sometimes current resident of Austin, I am familiar with the interesting, sad, sometimes funny, often sweet tale of Daniel Johnston.

We were lucky enough to have Daniel over to Studio SX this year for a little chat. A meandering journey of an interview that takes us through his early influences, Beatles love, Pizza Hut and good friends who make you feel famous. He and Jason Gross touch on Kurt Cobain, his possible Converse shoe line and life in Waller, Texas where his father built him a house. He even has a new album, The Death of Satan.

Somewhere in there he's joined by Gabriel Sunday, whose My Suicide premiered at SXSW. Sunday is developing a biopic about Johnston with David Lee Miller (who apparently resembles Steven Spielberg prompting Daniel to call the film ET vs Jaws). Sunday calls it Forest Gump meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

We also have a video of Daniel's song "True Love Will Find You In The End" on our YouTube channel that you can catch here. And, as always, you can check out more SXSW goodness at youtube.com/sxsw .

That's it for this week's YouTube Treats. Feel free to email us at musicblog@sxsw.com. Follow us on Twitter @sxsw.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone! lp
