Nick Drake - River Man


The most beautiful song ever written. 

My dad took it the hardest.


Had a cassingle of "Will You Be There" that I overplayed as a 5 year old kid, it
was the first song I've ever loved, that's how i'll remember him.

Greatest weekend of my life.

What went down: Hearing Brother Sport live (greatest song of the decade and also the catalyst for my trip to Tenn.), singing along to the Beatles with Elvis Costello, hearing David Byrne belt out a track from Remain in Light, hearing the greatest rap album of all time, Nation of Millions, in its entirety along with Welcome to the Terrordome & Fight the Power, being spellbound by Comfy in Nautica, seeing one the greatest rap groups introduce greatest rapper ever to the stage, dead or alive, seeing three groups in their peak: Animal Collective, Yeasayer, & Grizzly Bear, mud, absolutely losing it to a looped sample of Daft Punk during Girl Talk, being entranced by Neko Case's red hair, hearing an elongated and brilliant version of the best track of last year ("The Healer"),  & more mud
