Good point. suck suck suck.

Not so! Not so! Here's some footage from a local security camera...

AHHHH! So Gilligan's Island was a wink at Finnigan's wake? My eyes have been opened! This was the true prequel to Lost. PS: Hey Lazy Luck! Try watching this show. It will cheer you up and give your life meaning!

Learn this: Bukowski was less fucked up than most other ppl. If you don't understand this then stop writing at once and get a steady job.:rolleyes: PS: Mix Some Water With the Wine PS2: The Big Light - Johnny Cash

6. Los Lobos - Uncomplicated (Elvis Costello cover)

Thanks ditto. I like the (bluebird) poems that mention taking care of baby Marina. Sort of goes against the wild man macho mythology.

To be more precise he says it like this: "Play for that money, boys. Play for it.":cool: I liked it when the trombone player ad libed a version of St. James Infirmary in the hospital waiting room. Sort of reminded me of The Singing Detective... Afterwards I looked up St James on Spotify &...

Anybody here watching TREME on HBO? You musicians must be loving it at least. It has me hooked, that's for sure. Doesn't seem to hve any plot, but what a great atmosphere!

WHEW! ok, so now I know. My name is Erik and I'm a Buk.netoholic.

another smartass gets a kickassed.

OK, but it's coming to North America soon. The deals have been signed. The shared play list option is great. If you're a premium (paying) user you can download 3000 songs to play offline on your pc or iPod. Just imagine having the will-it-make-my-iPod playlist to play at random. Would be...

Spotify? Hi Ipod-folks: Just wondering if Spotify is up and running in your neck of the woods. If so we could change this thread into a Spotify shared play list. Then we could listen to all the songs streaming from Spotify. Now that would be hyper!

Heard this for the very first time a day or two ago. Nice laidback version.

Velkommen din jævla svenskefaen! :D (just spicing up the sweetness a bit...) Welcome Carl! In a more serious mode... I did my "hovedfag" on Bukowski's poetry. Way back in 99. In the good old days. Before those anglo-american imperialists forced their bachelor and master "degrees" upon us...

Doesn't Zevon sing: "she hangs out down on Alvarado Street, near the Pioneer Chicken stand..."?

I was thinking about the original dissertation, not the book, which came out later. Oh well. Thanks for loking it up.

Cirerita (or anyone else): I came across a note I had made indicating that Jules Smith links this poem up to Robinson Jeffers in his dissertation (on page 183). Is this true? I don't have the Smith book around any more. Nor any Jeffers. Did Jeffers ever use this kind of layout?

Just your typical swede. Learn more about them from this swede hating song from Prima Vera:

Is that th same place mentioned in Carmelita by Warren Zevon? Any pics?

Good one David. I recently borrowed Post Office to a friend at work, and his response after reading it was: "It reminded me about the fact that wage-labour is a curse..." or something in that direction. And he's right. That is the main point of Post Office, but you tend to forget it because of...

Interesting point. Now tell that to MJP (that mad hat(t)er :rolleyes:) and all the others who say poetry should be read, not heard (or sung). Yeah, I agree. What allows Buk to write so lucidly about intense feelings is his first hand experience AND his ability to think through his...

OK guys, be warned: Here comes a ramble, a pretty long ramble. I've recently become interested in Buk's poem "The Genius of the Crowd" (The Roominghouse Madrigals page 31). I used to think it was a bit pompous and over the top, so to speak, with the capital letters and all, but recently I've...

Still, it brought a good quote to my attention: Just one line you can chew on for days. Me like.

Why isn't Tintin allowed to be loud and rowdy in LA?
