Didn't know this statistic:

"In 2000, Volkswagen featured the title track from Pink Moon in a television advertisement, and within one month Drake had sold more records than he had in the previous thirty years."

People make me sick.


The only thing that makes me sick is that Chris Blackwell, Island and Joe Boyd get a whole load more credit and kudos for an artist they utterly hung out to dry in his own lifetime.

For all the great press Island gets for their a&r nouse in that era I get the impression that artists associated with Harvest and the Jenner/King stable came out with a lot more in terms of getting rights to their own recordings etc. The impression Joe Boyd gives of himself in his autobiography is of a man who followed the money in pursuit of some David Geffenesque power grab. No room for stage-wary introverted poets there then!
