Hello again, Well my long curiousity of Nick Drake ended today. I bought Five Leaves Left, and I dunno what to think. It was a choice between that and Bryter Later, and this was the cheaper of the two.. I only really like a few songs, especially The Thoughts of Mary Jane. The whole album kinda makes me antsy. Like being on the verge of peeing in my pants. Very depressing stuff, it is. And I don't think that he sounds like Stuart Murdoch very much. More like Tom Waits, which is not a good thing. I once got a CD of Tom Waits out from the library, which is a pretty dorky thing to do. It was awful, and his voice sounded like what cow manure smells like. But I have not given up all hope on the Drakesty, because it seems as though the whole B&S-lover population adores his music. I think it's the lack of percussion that's driving me mad. Anyway, are his other albums better, or the same, or worse? If I don't really like this one all that much, should I even bother? Why people compare B&S to Nick Drake, I dunno. It's a mystery to me. The closest song I can think of that sounds like him, (based on the 10 Nick Drake songs that I now know) is Rhoda, I suppose. And I don't much like that song. I've got nothing really else to say, so I'll go now.. Tami xxxx p.s. Genevieve, maybe you can help me with Physics, as I have a mid-term this week, and I'm horrible at it! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
