It was someplace in California where both were giving a reading. I don't remember the story too well but the upshot was that Buk stalled in the lobby, fucking around with a soda machine or something, in order to "miss" Burroughs

More a case of where was this. The Poet on the edge exhibition was on display in the Huntingdon library in LA I believe in 2011. Looked like quite a comprehensive look at his life with lots of intimate items on show.

Wish there was something. Would have loved the Huntingdon exhibition to travel but I don't think it ever will

Slightly tenuous link i know but i just finished reading Fante Snr novel and ave always wondered what the film was like. As anyone here seen it or know where i can get a copy or watch online. Many thanks in advance

Radiohead are singlehandedly the most amazing band on the planet and create the most stunningly beautifal and sensitive soundscapes I'v ever heard. Lots of people like to label them as depressing, however lots of people like to label Bukowski a Nazi

Iv mentioned Before about Sage Francis (who is from the same school of Hip Hop as Slug) namechecking buk in a few of his songs. Likewise The Rapper Doom did a whole Album with Bukowski as a theme. Jehst - A UK Artist did a song Called Alcoholic Author which mentions Buk in the first...

Hello From Oxford UK If its any help, today as i was walking across my brothers bedroom floor i managed to stand on his brand new U2 album. So it some ways the genius/Moron breakage balance has been restored
