Just sounds a bit wrong to me!

― Davel (Davel), Friday, 21 May 2004 07:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Why not?

I never put Brad Pitt down as a Nick Drake fan. Mind you, I never put Frodo down as a John Peel fan, so what do I know.

Who else could they have got? Stuart "Cider With Roadies" Maconie? Or a dreary pedant like Joe Boyd who would drone on and on about how he understands Nick Drake better than anybody else? Joe Boyd is like the Graham Stark to ND's Peter Sellers - "he practically rents a flat up Peter Sellers' arse" as John Le Mesurier once quipped.

Yeah, I mean I was a little shocked at first, but what the hell - lots of people will listen to it and Pitt seems to genuinely dig his music. Let Brad do his thing.

Joe Boyd is a dreadful producer as well. his reputation is based on luck outweighing his complete lack of talent.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Everyone really slags off Joe Boyd, why?

Joe Boyd - he's a heavy breadhead man but involved in so much great music

none of which was made after about 1973.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 21 May 2004 09:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Well of course

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I always preferred Tommy Boyd myself.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 21 May 2004 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Tommy's classier

... assming you mean the Celtic and Scotland left back/ centre back and not the curly haired cunt from Magpie

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I assumed he meant the cunt from Magpie, but I'm of a certain age.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

oh no i meant the perma-permed magpie/wacaday presenter/shock jock who claims that democracy doesn't work and we should bring back slavery.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 21 May 2004 09:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha, I made a pilgrimage to Nick Drake's grave once. Melancholy fool am I.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Did he claim that? Wow, I had no idea. Is Timmy Mallet BNP too?

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

No but Tony Bastable is

Tom Boyd Tangent: there was a great picture in the celtic view of Tom Boyd lifting the scottish cup with a massive hard on. the great great great caption was "Tom Boyd hoists more than the cup."

Patrick McGoohan (as Number 6): You must either be the hammer or the anvil.
Patrick Cargill (as Number 2): Ah, I see you know your Goethe!
No 6: And you see me as the anvil.
No 2: Precisely. I am going to hammer you.
Pause
No 6: Don't try it.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 21 May 2004 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Patrick McGoohan (as Number 6): You must either be the Mission or the Sisters of Mercy.
Patrick Cargill (as Number 2): Ah, I see you know your Goth!

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:35 (twenty-two years ago)
