    It's Got A Good Beat & I Can Drink To It

    There's a funny thing happening today in the music industry... A lot of bands are recording their pieces using analogue equipment (reel to reel and valve desks etc) and then they release the material on a bloody CD!!!!! Is it just me or is that a bit mental? Kinda defeating the objective? I...

    Was Bukowski A Genius?

    Genius? I am sure he would laugh his ass off at that. From what my puny little mind can work out, he would hate the fact that we would consider him a genius... I don't know why he did what he did with word. I just know I can identify with it and it also gives me great reassurance to know I...

    See, that's why I still think of Preston as a town and have to mentally correct myself before saying anything. I like the place. Not been boozing there though. Tend to stay in with my band or friends. There are far too many peacocks out there. Too many fights. Fuck that for a laugh. Its all...

    What other writers have you read because Bukowski told you so?

    I think I need to go back to Crime and Punishment. I missed it. I think i lack patience. I want a writer that kicks me in the bollocks first. Fydor didn't do that to me. Who kicks you in the balls (other than hank)?

    Thank God for Bukowski...

    Nice! Only ever been once. Loved it. Vollendam is summat else. I remember houses lining a road into the place and it ran level with the lake... the houses facing out to that view. It seemed that almost every dorma-bungalow had a chair in the attic facing out with shelves of books behind them. I...

    Thank God for Bukowski...

    The other side of the North Sea... Norway or something? Nice one. Orrell is a wart on the arse of Wigan. In between Liverpool and Manchester. A quiet place. I thank you for all of the comments and recommendations. I have only ever posted in a couple of forums before and this is by far the most...

    Thank God for Bukowski...

    Thank you for being so kind. As for being the anti-thesis... I think Bukowski himself did say about Tolstoy (for example) that 'I look and I look but I just don't see the greatness...' I think, in my humble opinion that he did want to find something special in those writers, 'writers with guts'...

    Thank God for Bukowski...

    Forgive me, this is my first post here. I found Mr Bukowski through The film Factotum. I hope there are now precious fans who might not like that. I would like to think that the readers of his beer sh*ts can appreciate that i do not have time to sift through pages of inappropriate and congested...
