Porno Music

Right after “The Way We Live” was mastered, I started writing new songs for another album. I was, for some reason, inspired to write about some of my favorite figures in 70’s pornography and for a while considered making the album entirely about porno. This proved to be more difficult than I had expected, but in the spirit of a challenge, I did a lot of research.


In my viewings of good, bad, straight, gay, boring, and nasty porno from it’s “Golden Age”, I found a little film called “Gladys’ All Girl Rock Group” on a compilation of no budget Super 8 flicks all involving rock music called Rock-O-Rama. The content was nostalgic at best, but not really inspiring by any sense of the word, but there amid the silly dialogue and forced eroticism was this brilliant piece of music.

Amazing! I haven’t been able to find out who this is, but I keep searching. Anyone have any ideas? I can’t get over how much it sounds like a 70’s Boards of Canada.

Damn. Coolest song I've heard in awhile - so weird that it's from a 30 year old porn flick.
