Sinister: Nick Drake and B&S miscellany

[Charlotte Hall]

     A few things:
     
     1. Nick Drake. I have been listening to "way to blue" many many times 
     and I think that it is a truly wonderful record. It is all too 
     apparent why comparisons are made with B&S. Someone mentioned this 
     before, I'm sure, but a lucid biography of Nick Drake says that he was 
     a star of track and field (see 
     http://www.musicblvd.com/cgi-bin/tw/2777614882191567_105_4277), an 
     interesting connection. And is the song title Hazy Jane just a 
     coincidence?
     
     2. Joanna (?), cover star of Tigermilk, works in the library at my 
     sister's University. My sister recognised her because she knows the 
     cover but also because she and my friend Fraser met Stuart Murdoch and 
     Joanna going sledging in Kelvingrove Park last winter. 
     
     3. It's true, Stuart Murdoch used to box at University (Peter has 
     already averred this but now I have proof!) 
     
     4. Photo Jenny is a very very good song.
     
     5. I forgot to mention for the benefit of Paul's list that another 
     owner of Tigermilk is Fraser (see above) McNaughton from Edinburgh.
     
     6. Keith - I'm sure "a day on the list is like a day on the farm" 
     is a paraphrase of a line in Aliens (spoken by the sergeant). Am I 
     worng?
