sweet. if after Harvest you still have the jones dive then into Dain Curse, more great Continental Op. still a lot more 5 star explosives in the Hammett cannon to explore if you're diggin it. if converted, then pick the library of america short story collection...or any of the other short story...

haha. yeah, Sleng Teng was out of control. wholeheartedly agree about the 80's degradation as digital / ragga took over. I don't consider Briggy in that school, yeah there's some dub effects on the LP, but full band playing throughout. Strength in is Jerry's songwriting / flow, and not the...

if you don't like great, soulful, original, badass, killer music -- please try not to discover and enjoy one of the all time great (and undiscovered / forgotten) 70's masters - Paul Pena. A treasure trove of excellent tunage. ok. this is my last post on Pena...moving on.

Hammett is incredible. Worth discovering or rediscovering if you've only read TMF. So much substance, suspense, and humor in his writing. He was an innovator on so many fronts: he virtually invented the modern mystery novel, created plot points and characters that have been infinitely copied...

double down: music: 1.) paul pena - [S/T, New Train]. a lost great who deserved to share the pantheon as one of the best of the 70's. his story is the classic "screwed by the biz" tale...signed a bad contract and petty disputes kept his albums unreleased and he was unable to record more...

Outtasite cirerita. this one touched me. my girl just turned one on Saturday. I know just what you mean when you mention the concept vs. experience. as said, i'm well aware that this is no place to pimp our writings (so please let this one slide :). in keeping with the subject i thought i'd...

it's been said, but Mitch Hedberg was something fierce. If you can, find his indie film "Los Enchiladas"...lots of really funny ad-lib craziness. Bernie Mac (old school) Denis Leary's 'no cure for cancer' and not stand-up but funny as hell: -Tenacious D -Mr.Show (Bob Odenkirk & David...

Hell yeah, Descendents are killer! They never get their due respect. Last bought: Books: Confederacy of Dunces (John Kennedy Toole), A Spaniard in the Works (John Lennon) Music: Rubber Factory (Black Keys), The Rolling Thunder Review Live "75 (Bob Dylan), Liquid Swords (GZA), Fever...

NW Maui Napili Bay in Maui, Hawaii. (Lahaina County) Best beach in the world.

The Doors - 'Morrison Hotel' while eating french bread (dipped in Cholula hot sauce) and sipping a Dos Equis XX (green bottle). Love that track 'Peace Frog'.

This line from 'Notes' always leaves me with a shit-eatin grin: "the ass is the face of the soul of sex"

Song 8 08. Black Flag- TV Party

someone mentioned jodorowsky. great filmmaker, weird stuff. if you found El Topo interesting, try Santa Sangre. Equally weird, but more watchable with less religious overtones. His other film I've seen, Holy Mountain, is one of those movies that is more over-the-top than El Topo, and you'd...

just had to say that the above quote, and Father Luke's below are 2 of the most 'right on' Buk assessments I've ever read. Well done and well said. --- 03-20-2008, 10:10 AM #6 Father Luke "What strikes me is that Bukowski broke open everything he knew about what poetry was, and made it his...

haha. I know...too many questions in one post. :o This site is amazing! Very interesting about HWM. Didn't know that some of those were older 70's stories. There is so much valid discussion about what Buk did for poetry, but I've always been so enamored at how he worked the short story. I...

I had some questions about the original City Lights edition of Buk's short stories 'Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions and General Tales of Ordinary Madness'. This is hands down my favorite single collection of Buk writings. I know that later printings of this book (after '78?) were...
