Good boot, this one. It starts off strong with a great build up during "Astronomy Dominé," taking off pretty hard. David Gilmour's guitar is so loud in the boot, you can tell that he is playing a Fender Strat. Good show.

A very distant-sounding audience recording. Taped somewhere in the back of the hall. Still, "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" sounds pretty creepy. Even from so far away.

The boot is not as good as the night before. A muddy audience recording. One thing, with "More Blues" and "Just Another 12 Bar," Pink Floyd proves that they were not a jam band. No free form freak outs here. Just standard bar band blues jamming. Kind of comforting, in a way.

Great sounding boot, this one. At one point, David Gilmour laughs while singing "Fat Old Sun." I'm not sure what he was laughing about. During "Green is the Colour," somebody is having horrible technical issues on statge. The buzz on the boot was so bad that I covered my head because I thought the sky was falling as I was walking down Detroit Avenue, listening to the show. David Gilmour laughed again while all this feedback was happening. I am pretty sure that David Gilmour was laughing at me.

It took me a few days to get to through this show. It's a good one. This audience was rowdy and Roger Waters went at it with the German version of Smokin' Steve. Walking out of the house to the bus to go to work while listening to "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is kind of perfect.

Kurt Vonnegut - Breakfast of Champions

This book was recommended to me based on a scene that I don't think was actually in the book. And I read the whole book - carefully. It was described as a pivitol scene. Almost like a plot building device. And it wasn't there. Maybe it was in the movie. Who knows?

Vonnegut is consistently Vonnegut in all of his books and this is no exception.

Exquisite Corpse: Surrealism and the Black Dahlia Murder by Mark Nelson and Sarah Hudson Bayliss

Before reading this book, anything I knew about the Black Dahlia murder was framed by the noir vision of James Ellroy. Not an entirely bad thing, but, sometimes, it's like, enough of the tough guy L.A. thing already. This book does what it can to connect the Black Dahlia Murder with the surrealism movement in art. I guess one of the main suspects for the murder was friends with Man Ray. So, not an entirely crackpot premise. The book makes its point by mixing images, both well known and not so much, of surrealist art with pictures of or by the suspect and the crime scene. Good book, this one.

Charles Bukowski - The Continual Condition

Today is Charles Bukowski's birthday. He's been dead for 16 years. The passage of time, while unremarkable on many levels, continues to blow me away when you consider how fast it all goes down the drain. While Bukowski has been dead for some time, his estate continues to publish books of his poetry. I guess he was on a tear there, you know. Bukowski is an almost completely artless poetry writer, but they are funny and insightful and worth reading.

Here's some good ones from The Continual Condition, the most recently released volume of the never ending stream of his previously unpublished poems.

from this flag not waiving fondly

now it's computers and more computers
and soon everybody will have one,
3-year-olds will have computers
and everybody will know everything
about everybody else
long before they meet them
and so they won't want to meet them.
nobody will want to meet anybody
else ever again
and everybody will be
a recluse
like I am now.

from heavy dogs in cement shoes

I never consider a man
insane
when he disagrees or acts
contrary to
the few things I believe
have value.
I then only consider him
to be
a dull and dumb
fellow
more to be avoided
than to be
attacked.

from moving toward age 73

yes, it's true-I'm mellowing.
in the old days
to cross my room you'd have to
step around and between empty
bottles.
now after I empty them
I stack them neatly in paper
cartons.
I'm a good citizen now, I save
the bottles for the city of Los
Angeles to
recycle.
and I haven't seen the inside
of a drunk tank for a good ten
years.
(I lock the door when I drink
and only inflict damage upon
myself.)
boring, isn't it?
but not too bad, listening to
Mahler as the walls
dance.
as a recluse it's enough for

so now I'm turning the streets back

Lives of the Artists by Calvin Tomkins

Kind of fluffy profiles of several contemporary artists. The profiles matched the artists' work, which is, for the most part, lacking - both visually and in substance. Also, I think that these quicky profiles/bios do a disservice to the idea that there had to be some degeree of stuggle in creating the work, in spite of the artists' remarkable success. Although you'd never know it by the quality of his work or the size of his bank account, I'm sure that Jeff Koons spent some time looking into the abyss. The abyss was glossed over in this book.

Black Spring - Henry Miller

Continuing on with Henry Miller in chronological order. It was a weekend where I had a lot of time to read. "Black Spring" was written between the two Tropic books and is nowhere near as good. It's mostly Henry Miller spieling about whatever with no real story except for some stuff about growing up in Brooklyn and working for his dad - stories that he repeated frequently.

There were, of course, some good ones in this book. Including:

"A Coney Island of the Mind." p. 129

"Nothing has changed since I came down into the street to take a look at life on my own account. What I have learned since is false and of no use. And now that I have put away the false, the face of the earth is even more cruel to me than it was at the beginning. In this vomit I was born and in this vomit I shall die. No escape. No Paradise to which I can flee." p. 166

"Burroughs Adding Machine." p. 188

Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis

I thought I read this book just after high school, but I did not. I read "Bright Lights, Big City" instead. The problem was that I saw the "Less Than Zero" movie but, go figure, never saw "Bright Lights, Big City." I remember when "American Psycho" came out, people were up in arms or at least commenting on how graphic it was. I'm not sure where that was coming from as this book is pretty graphic. I would have expected it out of Mr. Ellis. Also, this book was pointless, which I guess is the point.

Fun fact: I bought this book used and the person who owned the book before me put notes in the margins. Really dumb notes for a book that is not that hard to get. They stop after a couple at the beginning of the book. I wonder if the person finished the book or if it was just to0 much to get through.

The Beats - A Graphic History by Harvey Pekar (and many others)

I had no idea that Harvey Pekar wrote this book until after he had died. It was a longer comic book about the Beats. The only thing that I would like to note is that I'm envious of the idea that the Beat Generation writers spent a lot of time hanging out and talking with each other about what they were doing.

Henry Miller Did It First

As part of my early mid life crisis, I am re-reading Henry Miller in chronological order. I just finished Tropic of Cancer. What is striking about reading it right after finishing Crazy Cock and Moloch is how good it is compared to those two first books, which were not very good at all. Henry Miller was trying to sound smart and the writing is very deliberate in how he was trying to portray himself. Tropic of Cancer, on the other hand, is very good. Twenty years later, I liked different stuff about it than I did the first time around. Also, I am left with the impression that my thoughts are not my own.

"Maybe grief makes one more lecherous, I don't know." p. 213

"Somehow in all this anguish and excitement, all the grief and histrionics, only whetted my appetite." p. 215

Henry Miller thought of this stuff first.
