Is anyone a fan of this man's lovely music? I heard Mikael Akekrekkdflfledt mention him in an interview when he was talking about acoustic loveliness, so I've been listening to him on that wonderful thing Spotify, and he's bloody amazing. Really lovely and wonderful.

Hook me up Jon!
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

Bryter Layter and Pink Moon are pretty much loveliness. (The intro on BL makes me go mental inside)

Pink Moon = One of the best albums evar!

Been a fan ever since I heard the track Know on a skate video years ago (seriously, how many people have been turned onto bands by skate videos?!) and haven't stopped listening since.

Just found a very nice cover of Parasite. Blates not as good as the orig, but it's nice to hear with a different production and slightly different arrangement. I still think that the production on ND's albums were great though, really earthy and suits him perfectly.



EDIT:

Also just found this docu, it's really good and has some emotional bits. Really nicely put together and the interviews with his sister are an insight.

Aaah, Nick Drake! All three of his proper albums are incredible.

It's a bit frustrating how all his songs are in different tunings though...
