Ed Finnerty and I had been kicking around this theme for doing a Bukowski mix. I am posting mine. Just some songs that would have a place in some of his books. This was pretty fun to make.
Hope I did Hank some justice.

| 2 | The Minus 5 : Cigarettes Coffee and Booze |
|
I woke up today at around 2 p.m.and lit my last cigarette. Played with Sally's dog, Champ. She kept him from an ex-boyfriend that was a bouncer at a niteclub. She kicked his ass out for screwing around and kept his dog. Mean looking dog with the soul of a mama's boy. I guess I gotta go to the corner store and get another pack before I go to work at the factory in an hour.

| 3 | Sicko : On The Clock |
|
This part time job just pays the bills. I am writing another story and my editor won't quit with the phone calls. Until it comes out, I have to work here. My boss is the typical ape that everyone has. The coworkers are ok. Sometimes we go to the bar a block away and have drinks for our dinner break. Then, we go after work to unwind. Co-workers are fun to get drunk with.

Riley the bartender asks if have seen the results from the bet I put down on yesterday. I didn't do so hot. I lost 2 out of 3. Denver's Pride and Joy and Trina's Winning Hand cost me $100. The odds were good and I couldn't resist. Maybe I will have better luck next week.

| 5 | Tom Waits : Drunk On The Moon |
|
I say goodbye to everyone and shuffle out the door into the street. The moon is full and bright on my walk home. It's 3 a.m. and I know Sally is gonna be pissed. All I wanna do is crawl into bed and get a bit of her flank, and what a piece it is. She's soft in all the right places. Women...you gotta love 'em.

She's in bed when I get in. I try to be quiet but stub my to on the corner of the couch. I manage to get my clothes off and crawl into bed. I spoon up next to her and she bumps me off. Says she can smell the gin on me. I roll over and light my last smoke. I guess it's no flank for Hank.

| 9 | Nick Lowe : When I Write The Book |
|
I wake up again at 2 p.m. and stroll around the house. I make some coffee and sit down at the desk. I got some letters yesterday. One from my editor. One from a college that wants me to come and read some poems. Says it will pay my expenses and pay me $1000. Sounds nice to me. I could use that and take Sally out for a nice weekend. A couple of fan letters with flattering things to say,but it's all bullshit. Sally left a note under it and said she was going to her sister's house for the weekend. She didn't even say goodbye when she left. She must be pissed. Otherwise a productive afternoon. Got a few poems typed up and put away.

| 11 | The Reverend Horton Heat : Bad Reputation |

I get to the bar and sit down to order. There's a gal down at the end dressed up for the wrong place. She notices me and says she loves my poems. She's alright. Round in all the right places. I can't ask her name because I am distracted. Her breasts are huge and she has a fat flank. A little more to hold on to. I buy her a drink and we shoot the shit.

We close the bar down and she walks with me back to Sally's. I figure one last drink won't hurt. We get in the door and she grabs my crotch and kisses me. She likes a lot of tongue. We go at it for a bit. I see those huge tits and I black out.

| 13 | Black Sabbath : Evil Woman |
|
I wake up and the door is open. It's colder than a witches tit and my pants are pulled down. What the hell did she do? I pull them up and walk around the house looking for her and no one is home. I look at the desk and it's gone. She stole my fucking typewriter. I am glad she didn't get to the poems I have on the side. Crazy bitch. I guess I will accept that speaking engagement and buy a new typewriter. Women.

I like it. But being a Bukowski fan myself, I must contest the Sabbath and Cat Stevens tracks. The rest is awesome.
