It began as a mistake.....

I've been reading a lot of Bukowski recently so I thought I'd post up an incredible documentary on the man himself. Charles Bukowski's work is raw and brutally honest. As in comedy the best jokes are reality based, his story's are so fucking good because they scream sincerity, an attribute bukowski learned at a young age from his father who beat him every single day up until the age of 12. He often stated that his "horror show" childhood made him a very blunt honest man, this allowed him to write without worrying about how his poetry should look or what other writers were writing. As he put it "as the spirit wanes, the form appears" meaning poets with no soul would resort to form to mask their lack of spirit. The same applies to all art forms especially music, too many bands/musicians are concerned with sticking to a specific genre and worrying about what their target audience would like to hear instead of just fucking putting their heart into it and writing songs that have some fucking emotion to them.......fuck I'm starting to sound preachy. Anyway I think this poem of his sums it up pretty nicely //

there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day

and the best at murder are those who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love

beware the preachers
beware the knowers
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
beware those quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average

but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect

like a shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock

their finest art.

CHARLES BUKOWSKI - BORN INTO THIS {edit } It's fucking been taken down! I'll upload it and post it in a bit.


First, pop punk legends, the get up kids reform and announce a fucking UK tour and now sunny day real estate announce their comeback with a string of us tour dates! Surely it's not asking too much for an at the drive in reunion? please?



Koen demuynck is one AD man that even bill hicks would have to agree is truly amazing or as he would probably put it, worthy of being alive! Belgian born koen creatively blends beautiful surrealistic imagery into his design work making him unique and extremely sought after in the advertisement world.

What an idiot.

"Kimberly Vlaeminck, 18, made headlines when she claimed last week to have woken up from a tattoo session with 56 stars on her face. She said she had asked for just three small ones. Turns out though, Vlaeminck was lying. From the Sydney Morning Herald:

"I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them. But when my father saw them, he was furious. So I said I fell asleep and that the tattooist had made a mistake," Ms Vlaeminck told Dutch TV.

(Tattoo artist Rouslan) Toumaniantz - who is covered in tattoos and piercings - had insisted Vlaeminck wanted 56 stars tattooed on her face.

But he had said he would pay for half of the laser treatment to remove the tattoos, The Telegraph said.

"Kimberley is unhappy and it is not my wish to have an unsatisfied client," Mr Toumaniantz said.

But after Ms Vlaeminck's confession he had withdrawn the offer, The Telegraph said.





On the Might of Princes were a highly underrated post-hardcore/proto-screamo act from Long Island. In their short lived time together they released 3 full-lengths including a release with revelation records. Seriously if you like early hopesfall or hot cross or any bands in the early screamo vein YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS RECORD!! I'm not even kidding! This is their first record and it's absolutely mind fucking whore blowing good.

On the might of princes - where you are and where you want to be
