I went looking to see if there was someone whose birthday it was to feature tonight on the LNMC. I couldn't so I said "screw it, I'll do Nick Drake", and then I looked and saw that today would have been his 61st, had he not (more or less) taken his own life in 1974. Spooky.

The reclusive, tormented, and hugely talented Englander fortunately recorded a trove of music in his short life, nearly all of it spellbinding. Happy Birthday, Nick. Rest well.
