"Not the best reading in my opinion." But the only one where Buk talks about the cheerleaders for Utah shaking their pom poms. So I say get it.

BOOYAH!! Viva La Ganja!

Buk liked boxing, and I just read a good boxing biography called "Irish Thunder - The Hard Life And Times Of Micky Ward." He's a lesser known junior welterweight from Lowell, Mass., and the Dropkick Murphys song "Warrior's Code" is about him. It's a good working class story with people like...

"If you look over more of the posts, you will see that there are people on this forum that corresponded with, drank with, & slept with Buk." OK, I see what you mean. And I'm jealous of you. "Pleasants wasn't "wondering."" You know, maybe that was me. I can see that I probably took...

I don't think Pleasants explicitly says Bukowski was a Nazi, and I while I was reading it I didn't think Pleasants was attacking Buk or mischaracterizing him or lying. I heard in the book was Buk possibly exaggerating the Nazi angle, maybe revealing some latent or halfhearted sympathies, and...

I am a librarian so I run across people who know him, but almost nobody who likes him. When they find out he's one of my favorites, they start to wonder about ME, so I've become more careful about who I mention it to. When I've recommended him to people who haven't read him, they're giving me...

Anyone read Visceral Bukowski by Ben Pleasants? I just finished and really liked it. One thing that struck me was how often Buk mentions Marvin Malone and how much Buk compliments him, yet Malone is mentioned just one single time in the Sounes bio. In Visceral, Buk practically says Malone is...

I agree there was no reason to edit the videos to make them unique -- we want everything don't we? The duplicate poems are even more valuable to the listeners like me who like to compare the versions. And about the CD's and poetry reading, man, I LOVE my Bukowski CD's and I have them all. I...

Viking Inn I received my Viking Inn CD, and it's great. I don't know about the Ebay seller -- I got mine from this place: http://apoprecords.com/ Turns out some scenes in the video Born Into This are from this Viking Inn show, including the opener: "Dennis, for God's sake get him a...

Hunt is over And I bagged my prey. I got a Terror Street CD via interlibrary loan through my library, and copied it. Allll right. Not to mention I found the Viking Inn reading, too. Double all right!!

All right!! Glad you like it. Coincidentally that was the first Buk album I got, too. It didn't take long till I needed them all. Have you got others yet? I think I got King Of Poets next, which was just as great but with a completely different personality.

I'd never heard of it before, but it sounds interesting. http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/132588/The-Killers/overview Apparently no video version ever made. Thanks for the tip. I don't recall Buk mentioning this in the many interviews I've read, anyone else?

Underwater Poetry at CD Baby "Where did you get this?" I got my Underwater Poetry Festival at CD Baby - http://cdbaby.com/found?allsearch=bukowski For the great price of 10 bucks. And I reiterate the correction to my bad review -- I was wrong, this CD is not bad, it's great. Most of...

Thanks! Well, the hunt is on.

Hey TDJazz, what did you get, and how do you like it? Does anyone out there know if the Terror Street CD is different than King Of Poets and 70 Minutes In Hell? The most I could find out was that there are "40 poems and stories," but no title list. If different, is it completely different, or...
