"Yes, I had to come back to Mike Daily’s book and double-CD ALARM, because I know this release was the release highlight of 2007, and yet I’ve only considered it in one or two of its numerous aspects. I’m pretty convinced that Mike Daily and his band O’Grady have no real understanding of the groundbreaking intellectual, emotional and PHYSICAL force of their art."

Daily's Note: I recently wrote "Gagaku Meat: The Steve Richmond Story," a 19,000-word journalism piece about poet Steve Richmond for Buk Scene #1, a new Charles Bukowski-based magazine edited by Jan Hallers in The Netherlands. I interviewed 25 poets, writers and publishers including Gerald Locklin, FrancEyE (Frances Smith, mother of Bukowski's daughter, Marina), Al Berlinski, John Martin, A.D. Winans, Linda King, Ron Androla, S.A. Griffin, Alan Kaufman, Mat Gleason, Billy Childish, many others. Buk Scene is a 100+ page, 8-1/2" x 11" format, limited edition (200 copies) magazine available by Feb. '09. Mr. Viced Honest (Luke Strahota, Chutz Ponderosa, Adam Hungate, Whitney Woolf, MD) recorded "Mad Poet's Garden" on 10/8/08 in Portland, OR.
