    Bukowski and his reader's drinking habits

    I was always a big drinker...I really thought I had a problem and felt guilty and shame in a way about it but after reading Bukowski and others I got into the romanticizing of it...for a while But the key thing was just the embrace of life in all forms. The weird dignity to low life behaviour...

    Why the Beatles?

    I don't listen to anything after Rubber Soul I like music from the heart rather than the head the passion and intensity of the earlier albums is still quite remarkable considering the subject matter is so traditional but ugh...never want to hear a sitar again or any sort of concept album ever...

    THIS IS NOT A TEST

    I liked this one....agreed with everything pretty much, especially on music and skill vs feeling. Then there's also skill vs creativity. I often think of the example of The Vaselines - Molly's Lips - just two chords, pretty bad singing...great song. IDEAS are important, good ones. though I...

    Good Documentaries

    The new Kurt Cobain doc - montage of heck, is really great. I'm a big fan of docs about bands or artists who don't 'make it' but keep going anyway. I find them inspiring, comforting and also amusing. like uh... american movie dig anville Does anyone know any others in this category?

    Nick Cave

    I don't like Nick Cave...the affectation in everything about him (his looks, voice, lyrics) is overwhelming for me and diminishes my enjoyment of the music. It just feels like I'm listening to some sort of method actor. That being said, Tender Prey is a fucking amazing album. Cos when you make...

    Anyone here make music? Sharing thread

    I guess that's fair enough. I'm making music. Why? I seem to have a lot of time and not much to do. And it's therapeutic. https://soundcloud.com/william-bartleby There are the only two tracks I've made in 2015. Any feedback would be cool. Thanks for anyone who takes the time with the entire...

    THIS IS NOT A TEST

    I think you're right actually....having thought about this some more I don't think 'greatness' is natural talent either though. The pattern I see emerging with many great people is a kind of psychotic drive which develops an almost inhuman talent though it's also a bi-product of...

    THIS IS NOT A TEST

    Hey man. Some interesting thoughts, especially about how maybe us humans aren't all that. But sometimes I think hey, we're great...I mean we ARE great as a species it's just pretty much everything is built around promoting self-hatred and insecurity so we buy more stuff. And even the people put...

    Is it? I battle that all the time.... I'm a pretentious forced fake fraudulent fuck but I'd rather be all those things than mundane

    Don't Try!!

    It's a box - not a bag. Where do you want observations to lead? And just look at yourself for a minute...if I contribute nothing....what do you contribute by doing nothing other than criticize me? you have know that it's futile to be a self-hating aggressive message board posting stereotype...

    Don't Try!!

    Don't start but if you do start go all the way I think Bukowski was all about authenticity. It wasn't about glamour really, there was a lot of psychodrama in his writing and his own reasons for writing. I imagine the idea of these university educated pampered kids trying to make it as...

    How would Bukowski be resonded to today?

    This is cyber bullying. I'm going to call my mom about this. Also, I am special. Back in elementary school I won the 'star of the week' prize ...TWICE

    How would Bukowski be resonded to today?

    Skiroomaulum, When you write things like that I feel bad. I agree in general that I should keep my thoughts to myself and will in the future.
