As if this lazy Sunday couldn’t get any better, Kimya Dawson just tossed up a MySpace bulletin with more videos than I know what to do with from her recent show with Daniel Johnston. Kimya began the Olympia Free Choir – an all ages, no experience necessary and no audition choir – and they were present to back her on the tune that made me initially fall in love with Baribeau’s music, “Ten Things.” More videos after the jump including Dawson backing Johnston on “True Love Will Find You In The End” and Johnston playing drums on Dawson’s “Being Cool” which may be the most powerful live experience ever to transcend Youtube. Critics toss a lot of shit to the Dan Johnston live experience, but these videos genuinely prove that the only pieces of unappreciative hipster trash at these shows are the critics themselves for being so condescending towards the intimate connection that Dan creates. Oh, and my internet is up to speed (for now) so forgive my excitement which will certainly lead to an excessive amount of posts.
