Johansen has a myspace page with some tracks. http://www.myspace.com/scarlettalbum I can't tell if I like it or not. A little too processed for my taste. The music and her voice. Heavy on the echo-y reverb. Sounds like theres some sort of harmonising done on her voice. She seems like...

Holy dog shit I thought I was the only other person who had heard of Rat Park! Papa Luke with the science assist. Yeah as soon as I read about Rat Park, my hunch seemed valid. Now I see so many true examples of it in real life.

Kind of off topic, but just found out NIN has a new cd out free for download on NIN site. Also put out a four disc set, which can also be downloaded for as low as $5. theres other download options for various prices. Trent Reznor finally got out of his contract and is doing things the way he...

Roughly 4-5 days a week. Sometimes every day. I recently took a week off, broke that sobriety the other night. And I drink to get loaded. I rarely go moderate on anything in life. That can be seen as a positive or negative depending on the situation. It is probably too often. But as I...

I had bought Vanilla Ice's newer cd when it came out. You know when he went all "hard" and "edgy". What can I say, I was smoking a lot of pot at that point in my life. Other than that, theres been a few independent musicians cds I've bought that turned out to be big pieces of shit. But the...

cd: the essential Leonard Cohen reading: April issue of Scientific American (I have May, just haven't started). I like science, there I said it, I'm a geek. I man cannot subsist on fiction alone.

Good news, Rage Against The Machine is back together! Original members as far as I know. They're mostly doing shows in Europe. IMO they are everything a rock band should be. Proficient, angry, and actually have something to say. Hopefully they do some more shows in the states. They could...

"Believe you won't die today, that way you will always be right. Except for once. Thats a good track record. And no one will be able to say 'Told you so.' Because you are dead."

It creeps me out when he peaks into my own life.

My buddy is gettin married and said he's going to spend it on his honeymoon...in Canada. I laughed my balls off, but he's not the brightest and didn't know why it was funny. I had too explain that it won't stimulate the american economy. Far too often I'm the only one who gets the joke...

When a process of using stem cells to regenerate the liver... this should be called the bukowski technique. Maybe a new species of blue bird will be discovered and named after him. I always like the poem about a blue bird in his heart that he hardly lets out because he's to tough. Now that...

I haven't read nearly as much of buk as most people here. I was just wondering if theres ever an instance of him going to an AA meeting (either by choice or coercion)? Most drunks do entertain the idea of sobriety a few times in life. It would be great to get his take on AA.

I'm more utilitarian and don't care for the fancy "experience" of wine. I drink my wine out of a coffee cup. I'm a bit clumsy when sober and when drinking, forget about it. There been too many shattered wine glasses, with tiny shards you can only find when your barefoot. and when your...

You shouldn't compare someone to bukowski because he is dead. This guy still seems to be alive. Maybe I"m dumb but I can't tell you why I like buk. I can't tell you what makes good poetry except it makes me feel something. Something I've felt before or something different. I try to write...

And this proves my point. I view it as art and expression and you do not, just a difference of taste. Think how many advertisements go up in public space with no ones consent, except a person who has a dollar to throw away. You are being bombarded with messages that you never consented to...
