Yup, I have the DVD version. The sound is impeccable and that, I find, is the most important thing when it comes to Buk readings. On a different note; any of you guys ever had the chance to see Buk live?

Hello again, been quite a while since I was last here. I bought Buk @ bell today and have almost finished watching it. So far I am impressed by the footage, it is way better than I feared (considering, this IS footage taken by a b/w camera way back when) and the audio is splendid. Buk's voice...

Well. That anyone actually agrees with SlowPlay here is what appalls me. You judge people by what they wear? Bukowski would laugh right in your face. So what if he's sporting a swimming tee? So what if he is under forty years old? You only judge people by what they DO. If the guy wanted...

Arrgh! Small-pocks-smiley-face-disease! Other than that, your post didn't make any sense to me. Oh, and hello everyone. I've been MIA for a while, hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive that.

Personally I care a great deal about language. When it comes to poetry I call for consistency. Buk either used commas, periods etc correctly, or he did not use it at all. The destruction of the english language is a sad thing, and I think everyone who gives a rat's ass should help out by not...

Not this one I write here, oh no, but the one I am going to quote. I mean, what in the hell do you say to this: I really don't know if I should reply or not...

Awww. That's just adorable man. Congrats in a big way. Or as we say in the icy north: Gratulerer så mye!

So you're saying the plural form is spelled without the apostrophe? I'm norwegian, so I never got my head around that. BTW: How do I write in property form? Is it: 'The dog's girlfriend' or 'The dogs girlfriend' ? This has bugged me for some time. Oh, and the music industry doesn't pay very...

Ah, Erik, my fellow Ryge (western Viking): As much as the Roman empire, the Greek empire, the Ottoman empire etc used techniques wich today might be called propaganda, I would have to disagree that they were. The statues you are reffering to are similar to the French courts use of...

Hey. I may be scolded for this, but my favorite poetry collection is, WITHOUT A DOUBT; The days run away... It was one of the first things I read of buk, and it has stuck with me. So I have to say his early stuff.

I agree totally with the above post. Also; here is a fun fact: I admire Goebbels. He was the inventor of Propaganda, or at least the first guy to make good use of it. Using speeches, movies, posters and radio he spellbound an entire people into utter dogshit. You have to admire that. Now...

I see. No probs, I did not consider the fact that other people might have gotten the dvd from other sources than cirerita! I have to say, though, the dvd kicks ass as it is. Great stuff. The pamphlet that accompanied it was also a classic. A big thank you to cirerita.

Eh..I did not find any extra material on the dvd. I just found this private reading og buk, bono and Waits reading a poem each (not penn). The french tv show (that's a classic !!) and a small interview with Linda. Someone explain?

I just have to say this: MYTH BUSTED! (From the acclaimed tv-show 'mythbusters' on Discovery Channel) Also, man, It's so very cool to be a part of a forum that actually holds an average age of more than 12 yo. Rekrab; I'd love to read your stuff, where can I find it?

Hehehe. Great stuff. You can't see? Man, that's even more drunk than I get. And that's saying alot these days. Got shitfaced yesterday. Lost a couple of friends. So now, now I got alcohol, and that's about it.

What I am wondering is this: Did you write this post to stir up a controversy around here? Did you do it to feed on much needed attention? Or are you simply a tad simple? Well, in case you did it for attention, I shall adhere. I shall comply, and I shall do so since I too am a sucker for...

Hehe, I actually cannot remember writing that post. First saw it now. Either that says something about me having alzheimers at the age of 25, or it says something about how drunk I was at the time of posting. You guys decide...

yea. But these look like the Ecco ones I have? (At least most of them). Are they hardcover, is that the thing?

Okay. And what am I to draw from this? Did I say anything about music? Hm? Did I? No. I wrote about literature. There is a difference. And I did say 'implies'. Not 'huge sales MAKES it great literature.' I did read the book and found it to be good. That last paragraph of yours... what the hell...

No. I never said anything about a books sales being the only qualification for great literature. I do, however, claim that huge sales implies great literature. But Fante's work can surely be great without many readers. A tree that falls in the forest DOES make a sound even if nobody is around to...

Sorry MJP! I of course meant Bukfan. And I did not mean what I wrote as an insult, I am just debating here.

Hey, chill out. I was only kidding. Just as you were only kidding when you pointed out the homo thing. BTW, what is Mea Culpa?

Seriously MJP, do not judge a book by what others say. It will only make you look ignorant. To judge anything by hearsay is pointless. It would be like me going 'Leonardo Da Vinci is a poor painter. I say so because that dude over there happens to be a curator at the London Museum of Modern Art...

What is great literature? Is it that of which the higher educated academics all agree are of 'high literally quality'? Is it that which sell in high numbers? Is it totally up to the individual? As far as saying TDC is a great piece of literature; I still stand by that. I am of the firm...
