Two of my favorite musicians of all time, and both are/were very underrated and underexposed. So sad that Nicks music only started gaining its rightful recognition 3 decades after his death.
This cracks me up - my friends and I did the exact same thing, same year. Were you searching for Nick Drake after the Volkswagen commercial, and stumbled upon it like we did? It's such a great fucking song. And it's a mess, a beautiful mess. I think Nick would have been honored.
Same here! It was titled as Mogwai by Nick Drake... I just assumed it sounded too much like Mogwai, and must have been the other way around. Plus, Mogwai wasn't around by the time Nick Drake left us...
it's only on a compilation album called "the carve up" which was compiled by XFM dj "kool" keith cameron and released on xfm's own label (i think) in 1999. difficult to get hold of now. they've played it live a few times....
That's not entirely true. There's a version of "Nick Drake" on the Peel sessions from 17.10.2001, only this version is much more piano oriented. Very nice tho.
Also, you can find this version on the fan compilation "Rare, Covers and early tracks" among other ratities. It's been circulation on the net for quite some time now (atleast i think it's fan made)
yeah, i was at that peel session (won a place on the guestlist - just 30 people - via mogwai's website!) but it's never been officially released which is why i mentioned the other cd that has been. i keep forgetting that these days you can get virtually anything that's ever been recorded ever from somewhere off of the internet!
we're doing alot more than just "standing and staring," Nick. We still remember you. And we always will.
I have never met you, yet i feel like I know you so well through your music

It's a pretty old song. Sadly this is the only video on youtube I could find with the song. I was hoping to find some covers or something.
