Also, Jet Black on this album opens with a sample of Christopher Walken from Woody Allen's <I>Annie Hall</I>.<BR/><BR/>I've seen some stuff on eMusic with Kerouac reading and *singing* stuff from his books & poetry, never bothered so far (when there's music to be had elsewhere...)gabbagabbaheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764368059568550318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305962566578166600.post-79532684022039085592008-05-05T23:11:00.000+01:002008-05-05T23:11:00.000+01:00Yea that's a Howl line.

His voice creeps me out a little for whatever reason, haha. <BR/><BR/>I have an album of spoken word by Kerouac on MP3 too, <I>Legends of the 20th Century</I>.

On a good day that intro'll send a chill down my spine because of all the good memories attached to listening to that album with people.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836975731602885685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305962566578166600.post-56754031223066710992008-05-04T13:11:00.000+01:002008-05-04T13:11:00.000+01:00I meant to work in something about the connection ...I meant to work in something about the connection between Buddhism/Hindu philosophy and American hardcore. More 80s stuff perhaps, not that I know much about it; Krishna-core and the like. I was looking at the cool picture on the Fugazi EP, you know, with Guy Picciotto doing the backflip and - you can see it clearer on the inset photo - he has a tattoo of the sanskrit eight-spoked wheel of life on his shoulder. (symbolising the cycle of <I>samsara</I>/<I>nirvana</I>).<BR/><BR/>I have to say, I'm impressed with both your reactions to the piece. For me, Zen Buddhism is both such a simple and a complex philosophy, it's amazing. It's like once you grasp it (intellectually or intuitively), nothing really changes except you <I>understand</I> everything better.<BR/><BR/>- papstar. How can I respond to that? Another hundred does seem a little daunting, but I'll keep up the writing!<BR/><BR/>- joseph. I'm not sure what poetry they're talking about, but I always liked the intro to Refused's 'Worm of the Senses':<BR/><BR/><I>"They told me that the classics never got a style, but they do, they do. Somehow baby, I never thought that we do too."</I>gabbagabbaheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764368059568550318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305962566578166600.post-57640375289096713772008-05-04T06:46:00.000+01:002008-05-04T06:46:00.000+01:00great post man...your writing blows me away every ...great post man...your writing blows me away every time. I've never really had a tremendous grasp of Buddhism, but I can relate to the philosophy of living in the present. Took me too long to realize that I need to stop worrying about the past, or future, and just concern myself with the present. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the awesome posts. looking forward to the next 100.papstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573090836538593995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305962566578166600.post-31057295426712111452008-05-04T01:43:00.000+01:002008-05-04T01:43:00.000+01:00Beautiful hundredth post, Gabba!I'm considerably l...Beautiful hundredth post, Gabba!<BR/><BR/>I'm considerably less learned in Buddhism and the like, but it's the one religion/philosophy that consistently holds my attention. I like and can relate to what you bring up about commonplace enlightenment. Once the broader concepts are grasped, scraps of it can be found in anything. Wonderful and liberating. It's also quite refreshing.<BR/><BR/>I used to listen to Refused while reading Allen Ginsberg. I guess that's somewhat of a parallel to Jawbreaker and Kerouac :PJosephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836975731602885685noreply@blogger.com
