I hope those who were more than anonymous fans of his can figure out a way to get through this--you're all in my thoughts.
RIP.

Nick was a lovely guy and a real music enthusiast...he was always making these great personalized mixes (pre-MP3 blogs of course) just to turn people on to good stuff and I saved everysingle one he made for me.
We both were at Warp about the same time andI hadn't talked to him in a year when he ran up to meat a party at the ICA in London, just really excitedto see me and dying to give me this four song demo forthese kids called Junior Boys just 'cuz he thought I'dlove it. He was their first and biggest fan and damnnear solely responsible for introducing Junior Boys togeneral public through his own label, KIN.
He was a sweetheart and had to endure a lot lately. This all made a little stranger for me as we weresupposed to meet up for drinks last Monday but missedeach other at Waterloo Station.
Details are lacking at this point but I talked to himon Friday and everything seemed okay. He was reallyexcited about some discussions with Fennesz doing a new Junior Boys remix and other things.
I could go on and on, but I'm just overwhelmed rightnow.
very sad.

Fondest memory: After having me check out some early Junior Boys tracks, he asked something like, "If you could hear them covering something, what would it be?" I fired back with So Good So Right by Imagination and got an ".....umm....." in response.

And perhaps perversely but understandably that makes me think of the N.O. song, probably just because of the new album and all, and even though the song describes a much different situation I keep thinking of the final lines:
Just wait till tomorrowI guess that's what they all say Just before they fall apart
Death freezes moments, doesn't it? An era, a conception, a time will now always be harkened back to via this.
Apologies for rambling.

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
