Mainliner - Mainliner Sonic!

Here's another loud one from Kawabata Makoto & Co. -- the follow-up to Mainliner's legendary debut Mellow Out. And if Mainliner Sonic isn't quite the unquestionable classic that its predecessor was, it still rattles the fillings of most any other rock band you'd care to name with startling ease. Originally on Charnel Music. Play loud.

Eire Apparent - Sunrise!

Here's a great record that went under a lot of people's radar -- Eire Apparent's one and only album, Sunrise (1969). Jimi Hendrix produced, sang and played on some of the songs (notably making his guitar 'laugh' at the end of "The Clown") and Wikipedia suggests even Noel and Mitch were on the album. More details here and here.

Sorry I've been posting so little lately. My life is really upside-down right now and I'm exhausted much of the time. Hopefully, this will make up for it, at least in part. Enjoy!

January Is Milk Month!

All this month I'll be posting milk-themed photos at my Sleazy Meanz tumblr site -- a variable mammoth milk 'n' mammaries explosion!

What is it about milk that makes it so erotic? Other than the obvious connotations of breastmilk or "man milk"? Milk is form-fitting and tends to show off a body's natural curves to nice effect. It's sticky too, which means a bath or shower is likely in your future if you're covered in the stuff. Speaking of baths, milkbaths connote luxury, self-indulgence, relaxation - all good things.

So go here for January 2011 and luxuriate in the porny pics I'll be posting throughout the milky month.

Four Corners #1 Toronto Band Show For 2010!

Local lens lady Ivy Lovell has very graciously ranked the first Four Corners show (which we took part in, along with Ancestors, Teenanger and Anagram) as the #1 Toronto Band Show of 2010! And this ace photographer knows from shows. Take a look yourself as she runs them down at her blog, Ivy's League Photos.

And if there was any doubt the Four Corners concept has taken the city by storm, witness the second show in what is hopefully a series: this January 14th at the Steelworkers Hall (25 Cecil St.), this time featuring Rituals, Sun Ra Ra Ra, Quest For Fire, and Lullabye Arkestra. Food at 9, all bands at 11. Six bucks.

Every Ho I Know Says So!

Interesting video from the Australian Scarlet Alliance on what sex workers would like their partners to know. A voice we almost never hear, speaking here loud and clear:

"EVERY HO I KNOW SAYS SO is a response to the total lack of accessible online resources for people looking for advice on how to be a good date or lover or partner to a sex worker. We want to support our lovers to continue unlearning the internalized stigma against sex workers, especially in intimate relationships. We think that sex workers themselves have valuable advice and direction to give to people who get into intimate relationships with us."
