I just got my package today. Thank you so much Bill, these are beautiful pieces of typography. I love the paper, the type, everything. It's a quality I haven't seen before and now I'm definitely going to start paying more attention to plates and special ephemera like this. I'm looking at your...

Yeah I got that Funhouse edition too.

Actually, I JUST typed in the url for twitter/chinaski and whattayaknow? It's a woman. Interesting...

Heh, good point. If there's one thing I realized early on, is that if you look into your favorite writer's lives too close, you might become disappointed really fast. This has been exacerbated through the phenomenon of Twitter. Although Buk did have some interesting episodes in his life...

E-mail sent! :) Thanks for this opportunity, Bill.

This article was an interesting read, especially now that I have the Bukowski Tapes on DVD to watch again.

I remember a poem which went like: "Hmmm... love iz a fat turkey and every day is thanksgiving." Not sure what book it is from, though.

For the love of God, don't watch The Mutant Chronicles when it comes out. I saw in on the internet, and it is so cheesy and plotless your mind will lock down. I mean, seriously. It's bad.

12. "" - Richard Cheese Any track by Richard Cheese, really. People equals Shit by Slipknot, turned into an easy listening lounge music track. I think even Hank would smile at that. I recall from The Captain is out to Lunch, and I paraphrase: "When you mix people you don't get salad, you...

Soul Men: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1111948/ Featuring (are you ready?) Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes and ... Samuel L. Jackson. I'd be watching my steps if I was Jackson...

Father Luke, do you have a Myspace profile then? Where can I find a sample of your poetry? Thanks. And congrats on the book from BoSP.

Here's a quick translation I did of a few short prose texts, most of them written on the street, for the benefit of anyone looking to know more. He always carried a small pocket radio tuned to a 24 hour classical music station (he had trouble getting batteries sometimes), and occasionally a...

I know this will mean very little to anyone here, but one of my favourite poets, possibly even more than Buk, was a Portuguese born poet called Sebastião Alba. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebasti%C3%A3o_Alba He was an extremely marginal poet who lived many years in Mozambique, and who...

Cave is also losing his hair it would seem... it's almost impossible to believe this is the same guy from The Birthday Party albums. I also think the bad lip-synching is probably intentional.

Personally, after reading most of this thread, I think the bungalow was better off being sold and done with, without stirring so much BS about Bukowski. The smell of money being messed around with smells too much like excrement, and I'm not a big fan of 'reconstructed rooms' either. What is the...

I see the calendar mentioning today was the date when Buk was interviewed by the FBI. Can't help think about Buk in the car and the Fed going "Hey this guy's pretty COOL!" and Buk, almost crapping his pants replying "Now wait a minute.... I'm SCARED!"

That gif was funny as hell. Thanks:D

Last good movie I saw was tonight, Gods and Monsters, directed by Bill Condon. It's the adaptation of a book about the final days of director James Whale.

I think it's a good effort, but not exactly my cup of tea. For me the electro beats distract too much from the voice inflexions and the essence of the poem. I prefer to listen to the voice alone. When you add music to it, it changes the nature of the voice, I think. It becomes... decoration...

Actually, I'm listening to some Roy Orbison right now. Good stuff.

Thank mjp, I appreciate it. Sorry for the trouble. :)

Happy belated birthday mjp! Thanks for all the hard work.

Hello, I might have forgotten my password... huh this sounds silly, but I'm wondering if there is any way to reset it, mjp? I don't know if they are still working, to be honest I don't think I ever got anything other than the occasional intelligent spam in the inbox, even though I have the...

Yeah but sometimes the random text they write on the spam can be pretty funny... I don't have an example right now, but I know of some guys who started making animations in Flash where the characters lines are taken from spam messages. You know, the kind that reads like cut and paste from 10...

I saw last week the Final Cut of Blade Runner, just out now, and the long documentary Dangerous Days which accompanies it. A definitive edition for fans.
