@popvulture one of the only redeeming acts of the villainous charlatans was that infamous VW commercial which led to me discovering the music of Nick Drake......
-
@GraemeE I remember that ad! I think it sold more copies of Pink Moon than VWs.
-
My version of that is the Gap ad that got me into Bill Withers:

If you can access BBC Sounds this is an absolute treat.
"Live at the BBC Proms: BBC Symphony Orchestra, guest artists and conductor Jules Buckley honour Nick Drake in arrangements including Northern Sky, River Man, and Time Has Told Me"

Was going to share this before but I was reminded by the current discussion on @endo’s thread - this always makes me think of @Mizmazzle and @Oaktavia (although both currently have less hair than normal
). Keeping doing what you do guys!
-
@ARNC damn man…that literally moved me to the point of eyes welling up. What a beautiful song. Beyond grateful that you shared that. I’d never heard that before.
-
@Mizmazzle you’re welcome! This guy’s very prolific and well known in the UK ((although not exactly mainstream). I’m not sure if he’s known elsewhere.
-
@ARNC so I just shared that song with my whole school in an email. Told them my Denim Club buddy shared it with me and wanted to pass on the “feel goods” That’s going to resonate with a lot of people man!! Can’t thank you enough.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
-
@Mizmazzle that’s so cool - hope it has the desired effect!
-
@Mickey-GT is also an educator. Bet he’d dig this song too.
-
Sturgill Simpson/Johnny Blue Skies - Live in San Francisco yesterday - fabulous!
-
Their live shows are hard to beat. The band has always been immensely talented and cohesive but what’s really changed as they’ve grown is adding Alex on fiddle and the level of production. I can’t imagine having a bad time at one of their performances at least based on the show.
