Daniel Johns Writing a Film (aswell as score)

[blankfrank]

I still couldn't understand much in English either I'm guessing they like his outfit? Just for the record, I do too

This new Daniel´s music was a surprise for me.

In 2007, when YM was released i was in shock, because i thought the music was crap (i´m still thinking that).
I was so disappointed. That was sad because frogstomp, freak show, neon ballroom and mainly diorama were important in my connection with my principal passion: The Rock music.

And now, when i listen the music of "My mind´s own melody" i can hear the Daniel who created Diorama.
That is a good thing.

Lookin' good, Dan. Now give us some music, please.

It's been almost 7-8 months since the soundtrack was sampled and performed...I'm dying over here, ha!

[ali]

i reckon their are financial problems for this movie.May never actually hear it, maybe some stuff will be in DJ's future projects?

[sarah1234]

They made a short film version of the story last year that is going to be sampled at select Australian film festivals during the second half of this year. The actual featured film will probably not go into production until 2014.

[monica]

wow!!! 2014. How did you know that?

[Jolie]

Where'd you get that information?

Two fking years...

[wheelyq]

That's ok. I've got this sandwich here to tide me over until then.

Iv'e pretty much given up with DJ now..its been what since 2007? that wev'e heard any new material from the man, 5 years is a long time.

[DawnOfANewTime]

Right. Five years is a long time. Since 2007, we've been told there would be a new Dissociatives album and Silverchair album, and we also know Dan has collaborated with Luke Steele (never released) and now this film score, which has seemed to fall flat. The state of affairs in music totally sucks, and I could really use some new work from DJ. Why hasn't he at least released 1 full album of some kind since 'Young Modern'?

[Jolie]

He's had to have recorded songs on his own. Maybe he's hesitant about a full on solo career? He's always either been in a band or in a partnership, collaborating. Or maybe he hasn't got the funds.

But on the other hand, if he was as confident as Morrissey he'd just find a new band and make more music. It worked for Moz. /shrug

Hmm... Daniel Johns has hit rock bottom. I never thought this day would come, he's done stuff outside of Silverchair before (The Dissociatives) and the non-Silverchair work he did was some of the best. He's completely lost all creative juices it seems - and funding. It might have something to do with breaking up the band and reckless drinking, being a douchebag in general etc.

I was anticipating a soundtrack release similar to what the Beatles did with Yellow Submarine, have a "songtrack" album to release on its own - which is also the music of the film.

Like Daniel himself, all hope is gone.

[JesusChristAlmighty]

Maybe he's happy...?

If you think about it all his work (since he has had any real direction, nb onwards) has been born out of negativity (not always negative music). Maybe we won't see him fully embrace music unless thats all he has in his life?

[sarah1234]

wow!!! 2014. How did you know that?

A friend messaged me about it...so then I asked another friend, followed up by questioning Piers Grove...via the contact information on the film website...
