Has anyone read Darker Than the Deepest Sea: The Search for Nick Drake by Trevor Dann? Who found it to be very inciteful and a good reference guide?

Fuck I forgot how good Pink Moon sounds very late at night.

Pink Moon was always my favourite album to fall asleep to. The mood is perfect, and it's just the right length.

Pink Moon is simply a brilliant album...
I have troubles deciding if I like it more
than Five Leaves Left...

Both are amazing

Heath Ledger's Nick Drake 'suicide video' - Telegraph

That would be pretty awesome to see Heath playing Nick Drake. I was unsure about how he would pull off the Joker, but he did a damn good job. If they could get him to look like Nick Drake...that would rock.

Well he's dead now so I doubt if there's a biopic he'll be Drake.

billyjerome · 02-25-2008, 04:19 AM

Really? Damn. I thought there was still a chance..

sleepy jack · 02-25-2008, 04:20 AM

Yeah, his death actually had some crazy allusions to Nick Drake's.

Yeah, Nick was the man. Such an intimidatingly unique talent in terms of songwriting. Pink Moon is probs my favourite of his albums (probably because a talent such as his thrives best without the interposition of external influences, although the strings and band accompaniment on Five Leaves also worked well) and has additionally been a good source of comfort for me in times of loneliness and despair.

I love his voice, it sounds like he's singing in your ear or summat.
