Daniel Johnston is a singer, songwriter, musician and artist. He was born on Jan 22 1961. Johnston has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Like many extraordinary artists throughout history Dan has an extraordinary personality which has been shaped and in many ways owned by his disorders, however, without such traits dans music and art would not be what is today.

Take a brief moment to look and listen to some of his art, I promise you will not be disappointed.

In 2006 A documentary called 'Daniel Johnston and The Devil' was made about Dan and his life so far. It looks at most aspects of his life and gives a fascinating incite into the mind of an alternative individual.

Take a look at the trailer and if you have an hour or two get stuck into the film.

This is his website:

Spotlight - Moon Boots

Moon boots came on to the house scene mid 2011 when he released 'Gopher It'. He followed it with 'Off My Mind'.

Then he released his 5 track Aretha EP 31 Jan 2012.

However it is without a doubt that some of his more recent music has brought him the recognition he deserves.

Bio:

Moon Boots entered the world in the mid-1980s via Cape Canaveral. After years of service as the preferred footwear of celebrity astronauts (notably Tom Hanks), Moon Boots came to life during a classified experiment aboard the International Space Station. Little is known of what actually transpired aboard the shuttle, but in short, Moon Boots became a sentient creature, equipped with reason, intuition, and groove.

Before long, he grew tired of working for the space-military-industrial complex and found solace in the soothing sounds of underground disco and R&B boogie records. He knew it was only of matter of time before he was hung up like so many boots before him. He abandoned the program and used his savings to build a studio in an unnamed location, where he is currently working.

Moon Boots is currently touring and is set to tour in some of Europe's biggest and most influential cities when it comes to house music, including Leeds.

Adam West.. There was a time.

For those of you who know batman as Christian Bale whispering insanely loudly at you from an overly sized IMAX screen, think again. This is the true roots of on-screen batman, Adam West back in 1966 bringing this true comic superhero to life in the television series 'Batman'.
