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

    Yeah, I know, and he's played on loads of jazz records as well. Just imagine coming from all those rocksteady sessions on Jamaica and being booked as the resident guitarist at http://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/about/ jazz club in London. And isn't that his guitar on Not to mention . What a...

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

    Artist: Ernest Ranglin Track: Psychedelic Rock Album:Sounds & Power I am completely hooked on Ranglin now-a-days. He has such a wide variety styles. On each album I find tracks that surprise me and sound like nothing I've ever heard before! And he has tons of backlog albums which should make...

    The Singing Detective

    Ditto on "Blue Remembered Hills". I recently saw it and found it just as strong as the Singing D, in its own way. Its a bit strange at first, with adult actors playing the roles of small children, but quite compelling when you get into it. I find myself thinking of it often while observing my...

    YouTube Video - Dinosauria, We

    The music is simply horrible.:eek: Horrible. There's something about videos. There's something about the sense of sight. When you're looking at pictures & films (tv, internet) your thoughts get pacified. The music does the same thing. Buk's words are supposed to make you think (I...

    Bill Nelson from Be-Bop Deluxe is still compulsively churning out CDs. There's plenty of talent left too. Check im out here...

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

    Great!:) If its nearly as good as Portions we're in for a treat. By the way: you mention that Portions was successful, could you give us some details on how successful? How many copies have been sold so far. Were the foreign sales good? I at least got our local library here to order one!

    Will it make my iPod?

    The sound level's a bit messed up, but what a great song! I've been singing it in my head for years, but only recently discovered the name of the artist. Oh! the wonders of the brave new digital world!

    Where Bukowski "Nailed It" (for me) ...

    No risk at all friend. Posts dealing directly with Bukowski's words are always welcome and often come from newcomers. We oldcomers tend to run out of steam, on the subject of Buk's words that is... The more I read Bukowski the more I understand the amount of thought that lies behind all the...

    We Do Our Work - Vagabond 4, 1967

    Yes, many thanks! Not one of his best though. Could have used some more "work", in my opinion. ;)

    Richard Dawkins

    Agreed. I like Dylan's approach better. In the recent Rolling Stone interviews he critisizes ORGANIZED religion. Smart guy. (Most of the time...)

    YouTube Video - One for the Shoeshine Man

    Man I just hated those Valerians in the latest Star Trek movie. They just Quantumsuck. :-P

    Ignus Fatuus

    Well, I just heard this, for the first time. Greatly impressed. Then I looked it up in the database and was surprised to see that it hadn't been printed since it's one and only appearance in Ferment no. 6 1965. Could it be so? It rings like a distant cousin to The Genius of the Crowd. And I see...

    Help with a poem

    I like the line: Its got that masterful blend of seemingly simple bar-talk and originality that Buk does so well.

    Knut Hamsun online

    Sorry folks, havn't read "Sult" in english, but Bly's translation is frm 67 so it isn't the one Buk read. Bly has also translated Nwegian poets Olav H Hauge + Rolf Jacobsen, both fine poets. By the way, Ive been reading up on Ezra Pound & its funny how his war record resembles Hamsun's. Pound's...

    Last night in Milwaukee? Well, well, well. They played at Roskilde on July second to (some) rave reviews... And they're bound back for Norway on the 10th. So they're definitely a hard working band...

    3. Ronnie Hawkins & Th Hawks - Who Do You Love (Whoa! is that an injun on lead guitar? ):rolleyes: PS: Love Jimmy Cliff. He was prety militant, in his own way, wasn't he? But he had a "bright side" that set him a bit apart from Marley b& Tosh. He mentions these two sides of his music on a...
