In League with Satan

There are better Bratz subway defacements at my home stop (Carroll Street F) but this is definitely my favorite. Along with the recent Die Hard defacement I saw at 14th Street I imagine we can now proclaim an actual trend of Glen Benton-ifcation to our beloved public transportation system.

Satan spawn the service disruptions this week on the G.

Unrelated: How awesome is it that both Brandi M. and Brandi C. on Rock of Love are confirmed porn stars? How even MORE awesome that neither of their real names are Brandi but neither of them used Brandi as their porn name?

Porn Rock Ball tonight!

Everyone should be coming out to tonight's rock show. Strippers, porn stars, fake boobies and Gods of Fire. This is why we started the band in the first place. To play with strippers!

And the Fulltone Wah will make its debut live appearance.

This is going to be sick sick fun. I think I'm going to try out the bondage room. I tend to do whatever women tell me always, but the pain is usually mental. Maybe I'll be a good masochist. Although...........sadism is pretty metal.

Remember ladies, it is not exploitation, it is empowerment!

Electrical Porn Company

I was talking to my homie Steve about the idea of Eon Mackaye, and how it is such a bizarre and obvious assumed porn name. We also acknowledged a twinge of jealousy that this twit with a dumb assed name is getting paid more than us to film tattooed people fucking.

So we are going to start our own porn house, Electrical Porn Company. His porn name will be Steve Albini. All films will feature the credit "Filmed by Steve Albini" because he doesn't actually "direct." He would never infringe on the actors' privilege to direct their own scenes. He will never take a cut of DVD sales or online downloads. He will charge a flat fee if using his own locations, or a sliding scale if he has to film elsewhere.

I will occasionally collaborate. My porn name? Knob Weston.

Watch out Vivid Alt, you are on notice!

Grindhouse was awesome! (mostly spoiler free)

Grindhouse was pretty great. Tarantino's film should have been first. It was much slower and had a lot more dialog. Rodriguez' film was 100% kick ass action and gore. Seeing Planet Terror before Death Proof felt like I ate desert before my dinner. But either way the whole thing was totally awesome.

The fake trailers were great too. Eli Roth's trailer was far and away the funniest. It was for a holiday themed slasher film called Thanksgiving. The 2 or 3 minutes of trailer were better than 70% of all 80's slasher movies in their entirety. Overall the whole thing was a great time, even though the whole experience hit the 3 hour mark.

Also, don't tell Heidi but I ate a Shark sandwich after the movie. And it was delicious. Sharks as food are amazing. It had the texture of tuna but the flavor of shellfish. Like a nice lobster. The next time I see Shark steak on the menu, I am so going for it.

Next week is the CRAZY JAM PACKED WEEK OF FUN TIMES (tm) so I stayed in for the evening to save cash, and build up some drinking credit with my liver. I had all these ideas for songs I would work on tonight but decided instead to catch up on TV. I didn't realize I have been spending so much time on the studio setup that not only have I not been doing any real vegging, but my DVR was threatening to erase the Stevie Wonder Classic Albums ASAP. So the TV, a bottle of Cherry Coke Zero and I spent some good quality time together.

Is anyone else watching Debbie Does Dallas Again? It is fun, but not nearly as good a porn reality show as Family Business. PT just doesn't have the personality of Seymore or Cousin Stevie. Oh Cousin Stevie how we all miss you! Is that show coming back on the air ever?

But really who the fuck is Eon Mackaye???? There is an emo pansy in LA shooting porn for vivid using the borrowed stage name of our hallowed DC legend? I'm not sure if I find this totally awesome, or just really horribly terribly lame. Sure I love Fugazi, and I love porn, but I don't know if I need those two fetishes co-mingling. With the exception of Shellac's tune The Idea of Peter North. But that goes without saying, right?

And speaking of soft-core reality TV, why is Cathouse Season Two only on like once a month? Even Lost figured out how to deliver consistent content. And those guys have to "script" a show!
