*in love*… with your music taste.

Sufjan Stevens - amazing, Illnois is great (doubt he’ll be able to cover 50 states though :p )

Seth Lakeman is interesting too, as well as Mt Eeerie and Espers. Currently enjoying Animal Collective’s folkier moments as well.

not a genre i’ve relly delved into to be honest. I mean my absolute idol is Dylan, but i would imagine he’s the popular side of folk (i may be wrong). I did recently read the nick drake biography and had every intention of buying Pink Moon, so thanks for reminding me! :)

It’s amazing, but quite hard to listen to considering the state he was in at the time.

I love Elliott Smith, he’s my favourite artist. If I had to choose an album… hmm… I’d probably say his self-titled.

Also:

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Bonnie “Prince” Billy - I See A Darkness

Which book was that? I was in Waterstones today and had a look at a couple of Drake biogs, they were interesting. It was quite sad, he was a schizophrenic detatched from the world. There was one incident where a friend knocked on the door, no one answered, so he looked in the window to see Drake sitting in a corner staring at the wall. It’s quite sad. He only sold 5000 records while he was alive.

its just called Nick Drake - the biography, by Patrick Humphries. I picked it up for £2 at MVC a few months back, they’re good for cheap books. But yeah, tragic story. Not Kurt Cobain “i wanna be loved/left alone,” genuinely a troubled man.

Was it anything to do with his heavy drug use? He was quite into mushrooms I believe.

um…more pot than anything i think. If my memory serves me correctly i think it were the anti depressants he was taking that killed him, accidental overdose.

I bought the ‘Cripple Crow’ LP by Devendra Banhart yesterday, it’s lovely! Acid Folk = great.
£9 on vinyl, bargain.

Yeah, it’s alot better than the other two. Stripped down, you really get to focus on his guitar playing. It was recorded in 4 hours.

Didn’t mind Nick drake, my flat mate used to play it a lot… which sometimes has ruined my enjoyment of some things as he was very narrow minded in his views and i didn’t think the bloke was a big as genuis as he made out.
Tim Buckleys stuff is worth checking out, another folk causality. Also i do really love Elliott Smith, don’t think every song he did was brilliant and some of his early stuff is very raw..but Needle in The hay is one of my top tracks of all time. His later more polished stuff i liked more… it was a shame he died like he did..fuck man stabbing yourself to death in your chest isn’t an easy thing to do…it wasn’t just one time either.
