    Yeah thought so. Who else ordered the Backwards release coming out? I hope I actually get the CD I paid for.

     

    I ordered a CD. they supposed to ship out in early october I believe.

     

    I live in the states though so I have no idea how long it'll take to get here

    Finished Cities of the Red Night by Burroughs. It stays surprisingly cohesive for most of the book (though still difficult to follow), though the further you read into it the more it blurs and by the end little makes sense.

     

    I read the 2nd in the 'trilogy' (The Place of Dead Roads) first which I didn't know much about at the time and it was hard as hell to make sense of anything (but still loved it).

     

    This time around I knew more of what I was getting in to and it makes it a slightly easier read. I particularly liked the occult detective story portions of the book, which were also the most straight forward.

     

    Burroughs is a mad genius for sure. Not sure if I'm ready to tackle some of his more cut up works (Naked Lunch etc). The first few pages of that just made my head hurt.

     

    You might want to check out The Process by Brion Gysin.

    Is marijuana use an unspoken rule for posting on WATMM?

    If you want to write the next Great American Novel, you need to hit rock bottom with krokodil in order to have that gritty, worldly experience that you struggled to overcome. You will know true pain and yet also true love and when you get on that motorcycle on 3AM on meth, you're living life in the fast lane playing by nobody's rules, man. Go to an old school diner with a pack of cigs rolled up in your sleeve and call the waitress "honey". She'll see the world weariness in your eyes and try to fix you. It's like this every night. Small town after small town and nowhere to go. Everywhere is nowhere when you're a delicate genius teetering on the brink of destruction. When you ride away on that motorcycle and don't look back, the waitress will step outside and watch you leave, wondering about what an exciting dangerous life she could have lived instead.

     

    Krokodil

    Great Russian Novel, you mean.

     

     

    just replace every instance of 'motorcycle' with 'troika'

    Finally got around to watching Venture Bros. season 6 episode 1... Man, such a dense wooooorld... Fucking genius series. Love it.

     

    agreed, this show is incredible! I need to start watching it again too.

     

     

    But it's fucked up, cuz you have to know tons of pop culture references... It's like if you didn't grow up in the 80's, you can't enjoy this series to its fullest. (Same with old school Family Guy, I suppose.) So it takes some 25~30 years of life experience to actually get this shit.

     

    I started watching this when it first aired, and it was genius from the start (and just got better and better). It's the kind of series that I wish I could share with friends who don't know about it, but it's almost like if they don't already know about it, they're not gonna get it. It's some sort of destiny series in TV, where the people who were meant to watch it, will. Are there deeply hidden messages in it for the chosen ones? Is The Venture Bros. animated series some sort of guide to reveal a world that only those who can perceive it will be able to realize? All right, enough. Anyway- SOOO GOOOD~~~

     

     

    haha, I've noticed this with The Simpsons. used to watch it tons as a child, but it was until later that I finally started to pick up on all the pop culture references in the show.

     

    I'm going to start over from the beginning with Venture Bros, it's been a few years since I last saw it.
