Boy am I glad we only have a handful of extremely weak corporations like Google, Yahoo, Ebay, Amazon, Facebook etc. who control the flow of information as little as possible. That definitely sounds better...

Hmmm, on the other hand, maybe I won't read this book after all.....:D

What do you ppl know about this guy? His new book called "You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto" sounds interesting. Heres a quote from a Q&A on Amazon: Think I'm gonna read this book. More info here: http://www.booksvariety.com/you-are-not-a-gadget-a-manifesto

Missed this the first time round - thanks!

Looks interesting, but doubt I will read books on a screen like this. Newspapers & magazines, maybe, but not books. Have to see it first to be sure though. Newspapers, magazines, internet & e-mail is enough for me though. And I think that people who don't already have an iPhone might go for...

Nice Marley cover ... in Swedish!

3. Don Byron - I Cannot Commit :D

Rekrab: Did you know it has been documented that oral cultures - cultures without any form of permanant writing - were much more stable and long lasting (you could also say stagnant) than cultures based on print. In oral cultures knowledge, or truth, as you call it, was transfered by word of...

Nice. Thanks. A version of that third one appears in The Roominghouse Madrigals though, with the word "shit" in the first and next to last line replaced by "kid". Another John Martin Special?

Here's a tip. Look up the poems in the database on this site. Some of them are among the earliest poems Buk ever published. But: do it AFTER you've read the book. You might be be surprised.

...could some merciful moderator please correct the header of this thread to: his wife, the painter - now with paintings! please!

So I last time I read this poem (yesterday) it suddenly hit me that I had never looked up the three paintings (etching & paintings) mentioned in it. In this modern age it was fairly simple finding these on the web. So here they are. Now look up the poem (page 4 in Pleasures of the damned) and...

Strange. I swear to goD. I was thinking to myself the other day: "I sure wish the database had a function that could select poems that had appeared only once. You know like the poem "a need for glue". Well, well. I guess that goes to show that everything is connected after all... Looking forward...

2. The Singing Detective (BBC) 3. Pennies From Heaven (BBC)

So, in Canada, there's a campaign to save Al Purdy's home, just like they did with De Longpre. I bet Buk & Al are having a chuckle over a cool one down in hell. Here's an ok podcast from CBC about it: Al Purdy's house. You might want to skip past the monologue in the beginning... There's also a...

I lift my alcoholic beverage in honour of this site and the visionaries behind it!!!

1. The Wire

Yesterday this poem popped up on my MPJ3-player during shuffle mode. It struck me that Buk predated Dylans's song Everything is Broken (1989) by almost 20 years here. Wonder if Bob ever read it. Searching the database I find "a need for glue" was only printed once in Pulse nr 4 1971. Does...

The Genius of the Crowd ... on the dance floor...
