Happy Birthday !

The Joshua Tree by U-know-who... and the Stones "Tattoo You".....or.."Darkness On The Edge Of Town" by Bruce McJersey ShoreDidSell Out

Fourth Of July Creek by Smith Henderson. It's the story of a social worker in rural Montana trying to help folks who really don't want his help. The protagonist has problems of his own and things do get a wee-bit melodramatic in spots but the story is well-paced. There is also a fascinating...

Might have posted this before here somewhere.,, so please forgive me oversharing one of the sexiest/slinkiest chord progression ever written:

Thank God (and the BBC ?) that this footage survives. I love the outdoor theater staging here with background props at an actual train stop. Mum - was this when creative television production got killed by the pound sterling ? Why do we have to follow the Americans EVERYWHERE ?

Brandy usually shows up 17 minutes before the liquor store closes.... she owes me 50 dollars...

Maybe you're thinking of this play ?

Judging from this NYT review, the new Amy Winehouse doc sounds worth a look. The filmmaker had the co-operation of her two best childhood friends and her manager, plus access to home movies and concert footage. I've heard Tony Bennett was especially kind to her during their recording sessions...

Tampa was a pretty tough opponent though and those games were competitive. But to bring it all back to music, Stephen Stills is a Tampa native. And his hockey team had to Go Back Home.

The illustrator Paul Bacon has passed away. "Catch-22","One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and many others.

d gray for the win !

For that early 70's brassy swing and cheesy mixed choral group effect, try this. The bass line is pretty sweet though. Off Topic: Most of Chicago will be calling off work tomorrow or coming in late. Plan accordingly.

I thought it was her Aussie voice that beguiled me. Turns out it's her hazel/blue eyes. BONUS VISUAL: Try to name the books on the shelf behind her ?

I can't say that I'm extremely familiar with Coleman. But I know a groundbreaker when I hear one. And you can bet your squealing alto that music (not just jazz) is better off because of him. He was an innovator and those guys always get jeered at/discredited by everyone. I heard some interview...

Whoa... I remember this on AM radio in the States circa 1970 -!972 ? As boys we would sing this when we got a peek under a girl's dress on the staircase. How clever ! It was our secret code and the authorities never cracked it. Stupid authorities.

I've always been charmed by an Aussie accent and this songwriter delivers some great lyrics in that lovely lilt. Aside from the accent itself, her phrasing just kills me - kinda breathy and vulnerable but without the "Please rescue me" vibe. That being said... I WANT TO RESCUE HER !!! Here's...

Yes - don't let my "YA novel" tag deter you or anyone else from reading it. If I could re-write my post above I would leave that comparison out. Something I also should have mentioned was the structure of the novel itself - 13 Parts which contain Chapters of only 2 to 5 pages each. It's great...

Just finished "All The Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr. This is more or less a YA novel with the teen male and female characters working their way through a complication that adults have imposed upon them (Nazi occupation of France). He's an 18 yr old German radio/electronics whiz kid...

WELL DONE ! And welcome to bukowski.net....please don't be a dick... there's a history of newbies on this forum looking to "flash their jewelry", then cop an attitude, and disappear. R.I.P. to Hollywood Park - a victim of the inevitable changes in the gaming industry, and perhaps, a bit of poor...

At the keyboard, pounding out some work with a charming little teapot/cup/saucer combo filled with vodka and ginger ale. And no, it's not THAT gay. It's a little chipped and rough around the edges like a real man's teapot/cup/saucer combo should be. And it has shamrocks on it, which makes me an...

Pogue Mahone - Springsteen also discovered he had signed a very bad deal with his label early in his career. His share of "Born To Run" sales was pretty weak and his lawsuit took years to correct that. So I don't blame him for having a bad attitude about official releases, bootleg releases, or...

This was a fun thread that I had completely forgotten about. Thanks for the reminder of some past regulars who don't come to this "bar" anymore. And tonight it's hot tea for me so if anyone needs a ride...
