The beat on track eight is no different than what is heard on
any
mainstream radio station. The swingin' sounds are reminiscent of any
Cherry Poppin' Daddies or Big Bad Voodoo Daddy tune. But when the
lyrics
start 30 seconds in, it becomes apparent that "Asshole Man" won't be
racing up to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. "I'd walk a mile for your
vertical smile / yeah baby I'm addicted to crack," sings Vinnie Spit.
And Mistress Jacqueline entices horny listeners with the next
grade-school
verse, "milk, milk, lemonade / around the corner fudge is made." Yum.
Ladies and gentlemen...Callner Music proudly presents for your
listening pleasure, Porn to Rock! Question: What do adult film
stars do
in their spare time? Answer: They show off their oral skills in other
ways. Porn to Rock is a compilation of the "musical talents" of
13
XXX-industry actors and actresses. From old-timers like Ginger Lynn to
hot
young blood like Chole Nichole, they all get their money shot on the
45-minute disc. The album's vibe is as varied as the performers' ages.
Vinnie and Jacqueline's swing attempt will leave listeners with a
not-so-pleasant taste in their mouths. And while Chole's crash-and-burn
"Harder" could find its way onto the club scene, the song blatantly
rips off Trent Renzor's sound. Though her excessive moans and screams
are
the main attraction, the music itself could be sampled from The
Downward
Spiral.
But fear not, timid listeners. Porn to Rock also caters
to the
faint-hearted. Johnny Toxic eases in with the poppy, Weezer-like
"Happy."
"Everything makes me happy / cause I'm so happy, I'm fine," he chrips
on
the non-exotic anthem. Also weighing in on the cheesy side, accompanied
by
stilettos and synthesizers, is Ginger Lynn. Her tame number "Fantasy
World" sounds like it's straight out of the '80s. Oh wait, it is. The
dusty 1985 track screams Velveeta, and it becomes apparent she should
stick to her day job.
In concept, Porn to Rock is brilliant. With the aid of
scantily
clad pictures in the liner notes, the album is bound to sell. A fan
should
get a handful before the music even starts. And to top it off, a
revealing bio is included about each artist. The info about Candye Kane
is quite descriptive: "This singer, songwriter, activist, former porn
queen and mother of two plays piano with 44G boobs!" The album meshes
two
ideals many people hold close to their hearts - sex and rock 'n' roll.
Only one thing's missing - drugs, or whatever listeners should consume
to make
Porn tolerable to hear. Musically the album is poor at best, but
it
wasn't created to win a Grammy. In spirit, Porn to Rock could
make
people rise to the occasion. After a few listens, though, that
excitement
will wane, and the same person will just be left flopping in the wind.
