Nick Drake meets ....

The Drake biography quotes someone describing B&S as Nick Drake meets the BMX Bandits.

But also Nick Drake meets Soft Machine = Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.

There must be some kind of algebra that can be done on those two equations...

Beck's website (beck.com) is streaming three Drake covers right now. Parasite, Which Will, Pink Moon. Pretty much as you'd expect, faithful but sloppy.
