Hello, dear fellow FAWMers! I'm sad to say that I won't be able to do any songwriting this year. I've expressed doubt about that in past years but was able to do stuff anyway. This year there are certain reasons I know for sure that I won't be able to. I MIGHT be able to comment a tiny bit, we'll see.
Here's a blog post just in case you're curious about the reasons why. I didn't write it here so as to not clutter my profile. http://danieljunkim.com/good-luck-to-...
GOOD LUCK, guys!! The world is hurting and needs your art. My thoughts and love go with you as always.

If you still have your demos, would you be interested in allowing your demo to go on a free Bandcamp compilation? I don't want to sell it or anything like that. I don't even want the songs be polished, and I certainly don't want you to spend time on it - the demo versions are wonderful and more than suffice for me. I prefer them as they are. Basically, I just thought what happened with the multiple versions of the song was super cool and I wanted to document it for memory - as in, "Hey, everyone, remember when this happened during FAWM 2017?!"
Lemme know if you'd be ok with something like this. Bandcamp's the first thing I thought of but it doesn't have to be on Bandcamp. It could be any online mp3 hosting place that's publicly accessible so if you have other ideas, let me know! (And plz feel free to email me your thoughts privately - popmythologist@gmail.com )

Hi Daniel! I'm so sorry that I'm late with this - I only started FAWMing this weekend. I'm absolutely okay if you'd like to use the demo in that way, though some day I might want to record it a little better. 😀
Daniel, thanks for taking the time to listen and comment on my songs! <3
I also really enjoyed your paradoxical meta song about not being able to FAWM. It does suck that you can't participate, it doesn't feel the same without you around! Take care, sending you all my love!
Thanks for checking out the bathroom song, Daniel. I thought you might enjoy it. You might also get a kick out of my song about having too many samples (FROM MARS); inspired by getting sample packs with thousands of samples. I saw your post about wanting some uplifting songs, I'll try to oblige! Hope things are going better today than when you posted earlier.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to listen and comment. I don't mind being compared to Enya, no worries. I truly appreciate that you listened ; you could compare me to anything/anyone, I would still appreciate.
Sending you all the best vibes I have. Greetings and purrs from Mantra.
Love and hugs.
You are very lovely and very kind, Daniel. 😊
You are often in my thoughts and I'm beaming healing at you.
Thank you as always for taking time out of your busy busy life to listen to my music. It is so appreciated and really made my day (I'll email you about my day). You are awesome
Thanks SO MUCH for bothering to listen to my 10in10. It's a silly thing to do but once I knew today was going to be one of my patented Bad Health Days, I thought I might as well make it work for FAWM purposes. 😀
Daniel you will certainly be missed here. My wish is for you to regain much needed energy, at the right time, so that one day we can see you here again. Peace my brother.
Great to hear from you, Daniel!
Hi Daniel, thank you for stopping by.
You know what I say about my songs : if you've heard one, you've heard them all. Just don't worry about them and put your energy where it's needed.
Take care. Love & hugs.
Best wishes Daniel.
Sorry to hear your not around this year! Enjoyed your lyrics last year and as a fawmling your comments were really encouraging
Hi! Good to see you are around anyway! You’ll be missed.
I will miss your lyrics, my friend. And yes, of course - use my Road version for your compilation. I will dig it up & send it to you soon. Take care &…
See You In The Shadows…
I know! I'm sorry I couldn't make that work. Next time I'm in Chicago! We'll make it happen.
Cream doesn't affect me as much. So I'll eat ice cream. 😁
Good luck this FAWM! Hope all is well, and that you'll be lyric'ing prolifically...
No problem, Daniel. I sent you an email with those mp3s. I hope you feel better and up for more FAWM than you expect this year!
*waves* Sorry you may not be working on anything this year. But hope you can be around as much as you can. Take care of yourself...
Daniel, i just read you blog and may I say very well expressed. I understand your difficulty with fully participating but from my point of view its just nice to see you back. Each year brings something different and you never know what you may end up doing this month. Take care bud
Daniel, I know for all my travails (which are many and serious) you've got it far worse. We'll both keep plodding on in hope, is that a deal?
best of luck in the coming month!
Hi Daniel!
Hey DJK! Good to see ya back again this year. Catch ya round!
I wish you the greatest success, no matter If or how you create this year!
Best of luck to you!
good to see you here, thanks for the update, hope to see you here when you can manage it, all the best with everything
Hello. How are u? I'm fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine....
In whatever capacity you're able to be in the community, you're in the community. I wish you all the best and I'll keep you in mind.
hi Mate! I wish you a happy fawm/M
Well, now you have to write lyrics this year so I can participate 😉
Just stopping by to say hello and wish good things your way. 😀
Daniel... 😀
Thanks for the big write up, it sounds like good things are happening. Congrats on the job and I completely understand that you have to choose since things in your life. You've given a lifetime to FAWM in a short time so anything you do is very appreciated. Glad I can still touch base with you here and there on the internet. Stay in touch
http://bythefont.com/alex/fawm2017/me... -- I apologize but I don't seem to have the original recording file anywhere, just the final 128k MP3.
Daniel, thanks for stopping by and leaving a message! This FAWM will not be the same without you, but I think you're right in focusing on your health first. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, and take care! <3
Glad to hear you'll at least be around a bit! FAWM wouldn't be the same without you.
Ah, nice to hear from you Daniel!
(and reading your idea about the 'The Road is So Long' collaboration it makes me sad that I didn't have the time to make my own demo for it 😀 )
I hope you have a great February 😀
Daniel, you certainly have my permission. 😀
We are sending all the prayers/good vibes we can muster your way as you continue on your road! We hope you are feeling well enough to stop in and hang out a bit this month (but no worries if you don't - manage your "spoons" toward your health first! )
<3 <3
keep on rockin' dan, despite your blog post, hope to see you pop up on here next month 😀
Good to hear from you. I'm sending good thoughts your way.
Great to see you here again, Daniel!!

Hey, I hope that you will be back again! I love your music.
Hey Daniel, hope to see you around this year.
Happy Fawming!
Hey buddy. Are you doing FAWM this year?
Best of luck during FAWM 2018!
Coming back this year?
Hello, dear friend!
