one month passes...

I was friends with Nick at School in Brussels in the 80s. In the early noughties we met up in London and it was great to see him - a man who was living his life to the full. I learnt of his death in Vice magazine whilst on the tube. I didn't want to believe it was him, but now I know it is, and i am gutted.

Some days Nick's absence seems more painfull than others. For some reason today is one of the hard ones.

― James Tindall, Monday, 3 October 2005 09:49 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Today would have been Nick's 31st birthday. Miss you Nick, and I know you would have never wanted me to wallow and grieve forever. "Yeah, get over it mum, it's all part of this big trip called life" I hear you, but you left a big hole in our lives.

happy birthday dude...

― c7n (Cozen), Sunday, 30 October 2005 10:19 (eighteen years ago) link

:-(((( I just checked out his website yesterday, looking at the pictures.
Happy Birthday, Nick.

What a profoundly moving thread, made me throw on the Pornography album. I was only about a month into ILM when all of this went down and didn't read this thread at that time. So I didn't know Nick, even through posts, but sounds like we lost someone special. Strange but great time we live in when we can get close to people without even meeting them with this Internet thing. I would of loved reading about his passion for music and one of the reasons why I love this board, but that is another thread. Happy Birthday Nick!

Ironically, I was throwing away all my recent free weekly/monthly magazines just yesterday and only kept one and it was that Vice.

I sent him an email last year to compliment him on the photos in Zabriskie Point. I respect that he responded to this outsider. I still find them inspiring.

I still miss Nick, even though he wound me up no end. Still is it me or has the Junior Boys information been removed from the Domino site. Can I assume that all is done and dusted with the JB's?

― Sheikh Ahmed (scientist), Sunday, 29 January 2006 00:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Hm, their site's news section hasn't been updated since July, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 29 January 2006 00:31 (eighteen years ago) link

There's no info on www.dominorecordco.com since that's for the UK-centered Domino mothership- Junior Boys were signed to Kin in the UK. www.dominorecordco.us has the Junior Boys/Domino stuff.

― telephone thing, Sunday, 29 January 2006 06:57 (eighteen years ago) link

there's no nick to take care about things... that's why.

― nique (nique), Sunday, 29 January 2006 22:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Whoops, spoke too soon! See an update on the JB's site. Re-release of the album. Just need new material guys......

― Sheikh Ahmed (scientist), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 00:58 (eighteen years ago) link

One year on. Shit, I really miss Nick.

― jadrenos (jadrenos), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 17:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Christ, it has been a year, hasn't it. Dang.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 18:07 (eighteen years ago) link

With Nick more than anyone I feel sad thinking about the music from the last year that he would've loved, what he would've thought of and written about it. I'm not even sure what that music would be but I'm sure he'd have found plenty to enthuse about last year as with other years. Sorry if this gets people down. He is missed greatly.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 18:46 (eighteen years ago) link

OTM about the music, as well as the shows, pictures, ideas, sites, texts... So much I would have wanted to share with Nick (and so much more he would have, as ever, sent my way...).

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 21:17 (eighteen years ago) link

.. I don't think i'd consume half as much music, film, ideas, pictures and the rest where it not for nick, its been really hard to keep it up with out him around, missed terribly...

― jk_ (jk@gabba), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 23:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Digital remnants. Still out there......http://www.last.fm/user/nick.K/

not often goes by without some feeling of you Nick, even in the years we weren't in touch it seems we were still connected somehow, that hasn't faded even now a year on..
In my dreamworld I feel like he's getting the next story line the next plot to unravel in another space time place.
setting the scene for us when we arrive again, wake up somewhere fresh, somewhere new but somewhere we know..
tickling the foundation of your self, awake awake

not gone friend

Out of the blue I was thinking about Nick today, then it suddenly dawned on me why. It's funny how the mind works - it's all up there somewhere, but the read/write speed is appalling at times.

RIP Nick

meant to bump this myself after re-reading this thread last week. 5 years, shit.

One of the saddest days in a sad year.

Seven years! Seven years. Doesn't seem real. And he would have been AMAZED by so much of what was out there over all of them, he would have happy as hell.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 10 February 2012 02:18 (twelve years ago) link

Very prescient, and I feel like his photos would be going over really well in our now effects-obsessed app-centric world.
