re: post-colonial setting.
hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,
it is week 9 of my video series promoting "A moon made of copper," and i have a book launch in my home town of Kamloops, BC.
i think hometown gigs are the toughest, because everyone is used to you and your schtick and i think take it for granted in some ways. "oh he's here, he'll be here next week," and so on. i did that once, when i was living in Austin, Texas and seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn. i was in Austin for just over a year and caught SRV in a show, but way too briefly and then he was gone. that haunts me to this day.
plus, people always want things for free at hometown gigs, hahaha, of which, i have nothing, because i can barely afford to pay attention these days. haha.
anyway, here's a no-frills video for this week, I've got to go put up posters for the reading and get some media love, which means this no make up video. hahahaha. kidding.
it's for the poem "post-colonial setting," on page 73 of my new book "A moon made of copper."
enjoy!
cheers,
chris bose.

re: leonard bukowski......
hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,
i can't believe i've never posted this link.
it's to my spoken word stuff, though i hate that term, it's lame, how about, this link is to my finished songs.
sound good? and they're free! download them! share them! burn them to discs and listen to them in the car!
good roadtrip music.
play it at night and i'll sing you to sleep.
do whatever you want.
if you make some dough, send some my way.
cheers,
chris bose.

the best comparison for the first 9 songs is music
from the bastard love child of Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Charles Bukowski.
weird eh?
leonard cohen is so damn cool
back in tha day!
fat, disgusting and probably quite smelly
charles bukowski
and some girl.
tom waits
and his infamous quote
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me
than a frontal lobotomy"
awesome.

re: words are the devil......
hello friends, fans, lovers and foe,

in the meantime, enjoy this happy little song.

and here's a funny thing about art i found on the intranet.
despite it all, i want at least one of my kids to be an artist. haha!
been sort of mulling things over, navel gazing or shoe gazing i guess you could say. i really feel like i'm just biding my time in kamloops. i feel very alone here, no fault of my own for sure, even though i am starting to do community stuff, sometimes i just feel like, i dunno. wishing my kids were older so i could go and figure my life out i guess? career wise and job wise, it's a tough go for a creative indian in this town. i'm overqualified for a lot of things, and i ain't getting any younger, which is what the world constantly wants, it sucks young blood. it feels like i don't fit in here. i've got to find out where i am supposed to be and get on with it.
which is, sadly, the road, actually, it ain't so sad! haha! i love the road.
and i'm working on new music that's gonna get me there! haha!
big love, take care peoples, buy some art, help an artist out, i've got art available right now at Arnica Artist Run Centre and The Art We Are, here in Kamloops, and online at my flickr.com site here:
contact me at: chrisbose1@yahoo.ca
if you want any art, it can be completely customized. for a price.
cheers,
