Okay, god damn it, I was listening to this interview with Kristin Asbjørnsen today, and they played some of her songs written for Factotum, and I have to say (in the shadow of all the truly awful Bukowski-related music we have suffered through lately) that her interpretation is the closest to the mark.
I still think it's a foolish mark, setting free verse poems to music, but I'll be damned if those tracks aren't --- well, listenable. There, I said it. Bear in mind though, this is in comparison to the utter shit produced by VALERIAN and those dinks over at RedCat recently. So maybe this succeeds due to their overwhelming failure. I don't know.
God damn Kristin Asbjørnsen. [Grumble, grumble.]
Here's a direct link if that article goes away soon. Skip ahead to the last quarter of the show.
