I can feel the danger of change within myself, and the eyes of others already lost? As when the note goes flat causing every witness, at once to remember thoughts, and shift their weight anxiously, in a coordinated movement. Or could it be true, that we may survive intact, retaining...

with his better self, a jockey in position amongst the sad animals, 20 in hand, escape inevitable.

I appreciate this threads change of direction... And largely agree with the thoughts and beliefs laid out above. I am not ready to defend that my use of the Bukowski Reading necessarily disqualifies the "Track" as art, and would certainly not defend that the incorporation of Bukowski's words...

Thanks.

I am not a fan of the piano recital (Krinkski) video... ;) Yet I am a fan of Saul Williams. :D PS. Why did you edit the title of this thread to include a typo?

I feel I have been misquoted concerning the Intentions of the "Artist." I am not content with the definition that if a person calls something Art, then by definition it is... Yet, I believe this is a widely held definition, which I can easily portray through consideration of a large sector...

I admit that I am unable to define what is, and is not Art outside of referencing the intentions of the "Artist"... Thus, I am sincerely interested in hearing what YOUR definition of art is. PS. I vote against locking the thread. Outside of the pettiness and immaturity evident throughout, I...

From Wikipedia's entry for art... "Generally art is a (product of) human activity, made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind; by transmitting emotions and/or ideas. Beyond this description, there is no general agreed-upon definition of art. " "The...

but for me, it was love at first sight.

Excerpt from "Post Office" "She was a good one all right, she was a good lay but like all lays after the third or fourth night I began to lose interest and didn't go back"

No, the difference is approximately the expiration date of a Twinkie last I checked. :p I'm hungry now... thanks for the bump :confused::cool::eek:

Best movie of the last year, hands down.

Mainstream rap is a joke. Here's something I find interesting... Poetic even :rolleyes: Warning: This is Hip Hop :) albeit lame edited version. http://www.musicremedy.com/g/Ghostface/videos/Yolandas_House_ft_Method_Man__Raekwon-19314.html

I feel the love :D

The same may be said for a human life in general.

Sorry for the repost.

I was introduced to Bukowski through a recommendation by a friend of mine to watch his documentary, not through reading his poetry... Although, I subsequently began collecting Bukowski's literature and have since gifted friends with copies of his work. If it weren't for the film however, I...

I appreciate your discontent with the Track. It was not my intention to disrespect the Bukowski's work in any way. I attempted to maintain a degree of "authenticity" through leaving Bukowski's reading in it's original form, completely unedited, yet believed the backing track accented the...

This is an insult. My response to the question "what is Art?" was an honest response and in no way to be taken personally, or as an insult to your inquiry or you as a person. It was a sincere and honest response, albeit metaphorical. I'm sorry you took offense.

I was not defending myself at all. I was attempting to answer the proposed question through metaphor.

What is your question? Yes, yes... That is a difficult question for any artist, of any medium or genre. Defining art to a spectator of the process, is like defining color to a blind man. Factor in attempting to establish common ground with someone who may never have created anything of...

I'd like to hear it...

One of my first experiments with this technique was based upon a Burroughs reading :)

My motivation for creating this post, was not to sell albums, represent a generation of individuals, project a political outcome, or even seek to defend my definition of what is, and is not art. My motivation was to share, with this Community, a little something that I enjoyed creating, and...
