Do you like Nick Drake?

Jon

Flaneur He is a complete mystery to me. I cannot see the appeal at all.

Misura Fukin cheers!! everytime I hear Pink Moon I'll be imagining Chris Eubank crooning away in his jodpurs and moncle.

Harvest

I like Nick Drake on the whole. A few of his are a bit jazz noodly but there's a load of good stuff.

Misura There’s an ace Joan Baez version of that, with a band, kicking about the www somewhere. She had some voice.

All aboard the rocksteady train

Jon

Kevin_Stapleton Yes.

fulmine

Weller taking over the David Jensen show in October 1982. Includes Shalimar, Orange Juice, the Farmers Boys, Pete Shelly, loads of Motown and news reports about Solidarity shipyard strikes (and some nasty business with a shooter in Wales). Thing that gets me a bit weepy is the way it fades in and out, just like when you used to listen in your bedroom.

Flaneur

Gonna listen to that fulmine, thanks.

Loved radio from that time. Kid Jensen, Robbie Vincent, Janice Long etc were my John Peel...

Jon

Flaneur Kid Jensen gets overlooked a lot. I listened to his show and often fell asleep during John Peel’s.
Peel played a lot of shite at times but there’d be a gem or two in there more often than not. Was it Richard Skinner before Jensen had that time slot?

Flaneur

I think it was, another good DJ

fulmine

Yeah, I always really enjoyed the pre-Peel slots. Always taped Peel before I fell asleep. Loved the Jensen/Peel handovers but probably sound wincingly naff these days. First heard the Velvets on Jensen. Always had good interviews too.

Flaneur

Weller introducing the Pale Fountains there!

fulmine

Flaneur wasn’t massively taken though, was he?

Jon

fulmine I wouldn’t worry he is quite taken by as much total shite as he is good stuff.

Flaneur

fulmine No! said "they were hip or something".

Reminded me of that Steely Classics album programme, where Wayne Shorter is talking about Miles Davis - "don't give too much away".

Oh man Weller, love him but sometimes, sheesh. Young Weller would not give an inch.

Old Weller is much better.
