The result of a friend sending me a video showing some rare footage - Charles Bukowski's last poetry reading - a practice he seemed to hate as much as his fans loved. Not only does the source recording provide an insight into the writer's works, which I had not read or heard before - but it is punctuated by many  asides and comments that Bukowski makes that at first seem like off the cuff grumblings of an aging charismatic artist. BUT. Many consider this to be the very essence of his expression - a performance art that is fluid and spontaneous as much as it is meticulously precise and from the heart. Much like good hiphop.
For some reason I decided to put on a Youtube mix of Special Herbs - MF DOOM's collection of instrumental versions of his numerous masterpieces. No syncing, no cutting, what you hear is the result of a normal morning listening to two youtube videos open at once. This is purely an artistic excercise. I hope this is transformative enough for fair use to apply, and I fully acknowledge that the creation of this involved much less planning and effort than even a single one of Bukowski's poems or MF DOOM's tracks. I am but a humble worm in their shadow and take no credit for the creativity outside of the very straightforward mixing of two already mastered pieces of content. But I liked hearing these sounds and maybe others will too. Thanks Chris!
