But you've got to sniff the bindings. Nothing like weathered toluene and xylenes to get us all off at once.:D
You don't know it, but you just walked into one of
the biggest in jokes here at Buk World.

The last cd (2) I bought is 'Be Here To Love Me' by Townes Van Zandt.
It is the soundtrack of a documentary with the same title.
I bought it in a hurry, thinking that it was the dvd. No regrets, it is a beautiful recording. I will also get the documentary.http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=bZAOeeOdrs8
The last book I bought is "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe, which is a recollection of Ken Kesey's adventure with the Prankters. It is a first edition hd that I picked for $43., with a clean dust jacket. It is in very good condition. I wondered if it was a good deal. Anyhow, I am also enjoying reading this book as a well documented exploration of the 60's culture.
i haven't read it, but isn't we are not in this together a collection of stories by william kittredge, not carver? i think carver took the photos and wrote the intro.
i'm reading the devil in the white city by erik larson. interesting novelization of the story of the 1893 world's fair in chicago.
Really? I always thought they were in decline when that came out. Ice Cube was gone, Dre was on the way out, and they were being surpassed by all the pseudo-thugs they spawned. Straight Outta Compton broke ground, but that came out three years before this. My impression at the time was that they were more or less irrelevant when Efil4zaggin came out.The second one has some mother-fucking edge, but could be considered dated, and also, a timeless classic, breaking new ground and skulls: http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/5028483/a/Niggaz4life.htm

Not only intense, but different. I have heard 500 million songs in my life, so when something makes me stop and say, "What the fuck is that?!" I know they are on to something.I just wanted to add that when NWA & Public Enemy started their stuff was as cutting edge as when it was the Sex Pistols and the Clash a decade earlier. Intense music, indeed.
I have heard 500 million songs in my life,
No, just counted again. It's 500 million.If you were 50 years old (and I guess you're just a year short of that you young pup) you'd have had to listen to 10,000,000 songs per year to get to 500 million.
And there's only 525,600 minutes in a year (not a leap year though, add 1440 minutes for that).
So even if those 10 million songs were only a minute long, well, there just ain't enough time....
No, just counted again. It's 500 million.
i can't wait to get the new neko case album! a friend just gave me 'furnace room lullaby' so i've been thrashing that one at work.
Digney in Burnaby said:Back in 2001, when we were on strike, I listened to The New Pornographers' first cd, Mass Romantic. got me searching for Neko ever since.
Ever see that movie The Matrix? How the bullets stop in front of the guy from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Well that's kind of how I listen to music. So it might not seem like enough time to you, but that's just because you still think there is a spoon.Fast listener.... And counter....
