Inspiration Playlist Volume 1, Track 4: “Bukowski”

This week’s inspirational song is a wee bit darker than last week’s School House Rock jam.

“Bukowski” is probably my favorite Modest Mouse song. It also doesn’t hurt that back when I lived in Boston, one of my favorite bars was Bukowski Tavern because it offered really cheap burgers and 99 types of beer, which is pretty fitting since Time called Bukowski a “laureate of American lowlife” in 1986.

Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,
that every night turns out to be
A little more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he’s a pretty good read.
But God who’d wanna be?
God who’d wanna be such an asshole?
God who’d wanna be?
God who’d wanna be such an asshole?

The end of NaNoWriMo is in sight. Raise your glass and give a toast to inspiration.
