Bands that drop Bukowski's name or reference his work...

Ignorant to deny, edit/delete how a specific band dropped Bukowski's name or reference his stuff because they have a vendetta against 311 or to what you call "kiddie rock". If they didn't "reference his stuff" then I must obviously be as wrong as you claim me to be... Messengers don't like being shot...
Sorry for being an idiot, angsty and worrisome for you. I'll try harder next time, mommy dearest.
Internet insights can be greater than or equal to post counts.
I've always liked this forum and hope you'll all still have me.

I see. If they were referencing a Bukowski poem in those lyrics, I (um, I mean ed) misinterpreted your post. Mea culpa.

Catégorie Bukowski, a song from Vincent Delerm, a French singer belonging to what is called "La nouvelle scéne française" (an expression designating nowadays' artists perpetuating the tradition of "chanson française" )

rapper MF DOOM's latest cd is heavily influenced by Bukowski.
rappers seem to take a shine to Hank.

sorry Ambreen im confused. there is a Nick cave n the bs song with a buk ref. i cant think of the name but the line is ''bukowski was a jerk..'' weird story; i had received a gift card for borders and picked up ''dig lazarus dig'' and on my way out spotted the docu ""born into this'' which i had to pay for with real money. when i got home and heard the line, after drinkin some beer and smokin some pot i was pleasantly shocked. at the coincidence of course

Hey Mikeypants. I believe that Nick Cave song is "We Call Upon The Author." Its actually discussed at great length in another thread somewhere in this forum, I just can't remember where. I also cant tell if it's a Buk insult, or just a line in a song. I am a big fan of both Buk and Cave, so hopefully not meant as an insult, but whatever, I still like them both.
Yeah nervas, i think that's right. I doubt it was an insult. I like buk but he sure comes off like a jerk sometimes. He'd probably think it was a compliment.

If he's "another unknown frenchie", he couldn't be Nick Cave ! :D
Nervas is right, the song is We call upon the author.
It has been discussed here : https://bukowskiforum.com/showthread.php?t=5069&page=2
You can listen to it again here : ttp://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=212434537
I believe he wouldn't even give a damm.
Thanks for the links Ambreen
There's a track by Fila Brazillia on their 1st album Old Code New Chaos in which Buk reads his poem The Light of Jesus.

I saw them yesterday as a supporting band. I thought it was an umpteenth Myspace band when they came on stage, was expecting to get bored as I often do when hearing a supporting band but these kids turned out to be a very good surprise, I even happened to find their set too short ! They seduced me with their music reminding me of the Strokes. While looking at their Myspace to know more about them, I had another surprise : a famous picture of Bukowski in their "Influences" section. Definitely good kids !!!

This is new to me. My mom actually attended Fairfax High with 3 of the 4 original members of the RHCP. Their music also introduced me to Buk back in 91, but someone on wikipedia wrote about Anthony Keidis: "As his musical tastes expanded and his outlook on life changed, and he matured, he began writing songs about a wider spectrum of subjects, his main literary influence is Charles Bukowski who touches on many of the similar issues and like Bukowski, Kiedis focuses on life in the city of Los Angeles and the state of California.[6]" The reference points to Anthony's auto-biography Scar Tissue as the source. I think I've read it twice, but now will have to re-read it to see if he actually mentions Buk, but I really don't think he did. Anyway, just saying and in any event, Anthony Keidis rocks as do the Chili Peppers!

Just noticed this post and listened to the band.
Gingham is a type of fabric, something like the french tablecloth, with squares.
I think that she says Wide Weave Bukowski Gingham.
What does it mean in this song, I am not sure. Let's say you can only imagine what's on the blanks.
