Dear List, I was told by a friend last night, whilst trying to introduce him to B&S, that Nick Drake sounds a lot like them. somebody else mentioned, earlier, something to do with Nick Drake, I can't remeber who or what they said as I've deleted the message now but I want to know if this is true and if anybody out there can send me some Nick Drake stuff so that I can find out for myself.

This is one those frequently asked questions that I frequently don't answer, but today I'm trying to make up for being rude again. Nick Drake sounds a bit like Belle and Sebastian, but not much. His voice is a bit like Stuart Murdoch's, but rich and full and in tune. He also played guitar in a way likely to impress elderly people. The lyrics are completely different, considerably less "fun" than B&S. To be quite honest I don't think I've ever listened much to his lyrics, apart from "Black Eyed Dog". There is a nice compilation called "Way to Blue", which must be mid-price now. His mum and dad were called Rodney and Molly, and his sister is out of "Crossroads". I hope that is of some help.
