    City Lights Strikes Again: New Buk Collection for 2010 - Absence of the Hero

    Maybe a "serious" title for a Bukowski-book is as shocking as it gets nowadays... :D Personally I'm quite tired of Buk's widespread "wild man" image, mainly because its misleading. You know, ppl like Henry Rollins never get past it. I think Buk is extremely lucky to have City Lights doing such...

    Will it make my iPod?

    heh heh, and he didn't even do it live. Iggy just did his part alone in his studio and sent the file over the net. O this brave new musical whirld.

    Will it make my iPod?

    Seems Iggy Pop listened to MJP's advice. He's contributed to a remix of 7. Ida Maria's - Oh My God. Way to go Iggy.

    City Lights Strikes Again: New Buk Collection for 2010 - Absence of the Hero

    OK, Rekrab, agreed, but tell me this: is shock value the most important aspect of Buk's writing, in the long run? Sure, Buk has plenty of shocking, outragious hilarious lines. He doesn't shy away from them. But standing alone they're just cheap thrills compared to his ability to see and sense...

    Knut Hamsun online

    Mysteries is good too. He wrote it two years after Hunger. Pan is good. Its sort of "Hunger in the forest/country". ;) Victoria is considered a good love story, by some. Not my cup of tea though. Growth of the Soil won him the Nobel prize. Its a good read. By the way, Paul Auster & Siri...

    What are you listening to? The world needs to know.

    I remember Bukowski somewhere saying he liked Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. Don't know if he was being ironic though. I've never been able to read it but I recently came over this audiobook that works wonders for me - in small portions. Joyce's words highten the melody of the spoken word, their...

    Bent Hamer's new film - O'Horten

    I hear Bent Hamer's latest film is playing a few places in the States now. You know Hamer, the guy that filmed Factotum. The film is alright. About a quirky old train engineer. You can read some reviews here.
