Charles Bukowski (August 16, 1920 – March 9, 1994), was a Los Angeles poet and novelist often mistakenly associated with Beat Generation writers because of alleged similarities of style and attitude. Bukowski’s writing was heavily influenced by the geography and atmosphere of his home city of Los Angeles. He wrote more than fifty books and countless smaller pieces. He is often mentioned as an influence by contemporary authors and his style is frequently imitated.

Also may relate to a stoner rock band Bukowski http://www.myspace.com/bukowski666

With a nod and a wink here comes Woofit with a further cautionary insight on Tarmacian life exclusively for the benefit of his esteemed and erudite last fm brethren. Tarmacians only see art as function, only in relation to add to status, bank balance or room layout. It must not challange, or worst of all, mean anything (although they will expound at great length to tell you it does). Banality is king on planet Tarmac. Woofit implores all solipsists of the world to unite.

You can so hear him in Tom Waits, especially when he's giving interviews. They have the same sort of wit and demeanor, the same drawling voice

The first Bukowski book I read, factotum, I was like 12 years old, it was pretty mind-expanding.

Yeah that was killer. I believe the name of that poem was "Dinosauria, We" and the DOOM song was "Cellz" if anyone wants to check it out.

MF DOOM sampled his reading of 'Born Like This' on his new album. Pretty cool...

Meeen! I love "BORN INTO THIS", "Bluebird", "Roll The Dice", his book "Ham On Rye", and almost all that he create. Poetry, alcohol, sex.
