  • Andy Roberts (ex-Linus) springs to mind - his 4-track Demos album is amazing. I don't think the tracks are on Last FM though - just songs by other Andy Roberts'. But I really recommend this album - it's a gem: available from Linusland.

    Listening to Daniel Johnston Radio on here I just came across R. Stevie Moore which was really cool .

  • Daniel Johnston, Early John Frusciante, Brian Eno, Neutral Milk Hotel, Ariel Pink, John Maus, Holy Shit...that's all I can think of...
