Why wasn't I cool when I was alive?
In the tradition of Van Gogh and Emily Dickenson, Nick Drake is a vicitm of posthumous fame. I suppose vicitim isn't really the right word, it's great that people are listening now, but it's a shame he never got to experience the wide-spread adoration that he receives now-a-days. Here's a little list of some appearances his voice has made in the past few years...
1998 'Road' in Hideous Kinky [buy the soundtrack]
1999 'Pink Moon' in a Volkswagon Cabrio ad [click here to see ad on YouTube]
2000 heaps of tracks in WB mini-series Young Americans
2001 'Northern Sky' in Serendipity [buy the soundtrack]
2001 'Fly' in The Royal Tenenbaums [buy the soundtrack]
2004 'One Of These Things First' in Garden State [buy the soundtrack]
I know I've heard his songs in the background of heaps of other shows and movies recently and now I'm pissed off that I didn't write them down. Please email me if you can think of any...
