Zombie Porn Banned | Free Screening Tonight in NYC
This post is Not Safe For Work (NSFW)
'There comes a point towards the beginning of "Re-Penetrator" —like when the undead stripper starts sucking off the mad scientist who's bought her back to life and spits a mouthful of fake blood all over his crotch—when you may start thinking that the folks at Burning Angel have gone too far.' (via Fleshbot)
Apparently their billing company thought so. The video was banned from their site, but you can catch it tonight for free, and get drunk for free, at RIFIFI.

Benefit at Barbes to Purchase New Piano
Barbes needs a new piano. Badly. Not only has our spinet seen better days, but its original owner is taking it back in a couple of weeks. We are trying to raise funds to purchase a new Piano and for that purpose are holding a benefit next monday, Nov 1st, from 7 to 10:30 or so. You can help us by attending, and enjoy some great music in the process. Hope to see you there.
"GODS ARE IN THE HOUSE"
A Benefit Concert to raise funds for a new piano for Barbès
Monday November 1st 7:00pm
Featuring :
7:00 JOEL FORRESTER (Microscopic Septet, People Like Us)
7:30 JOSHUA CAMP (One Ring Zero)
8:15 DEIDRE RODMAN (Lascivious Biddies)
8:45 ANTHONY COLEMAN (Cubanos Postizos, Sephardic Tinge)
9:30 RACHELLE GARNIEZ
$15 tickets available from the bar or at the door.
If you can't attend but wish to donate, pls make out check to Vinoli, inc - piano fund, and mail to Barbès - 376 9th st, Brooklyn, NY 11215
"God is in the House is a collection of recordings made by Art Tatum at after-hour house parties in Harlem in the forties. The legendary pianist can be heard on some of the most out-of-tune, dysfunctional pianos - yet, maybe challenged by the instruments themselves, Art Tatum often sounds at his best.
Barbès' piano, likewise, is a challenging instrument often played by extraordinary pianists who manage to transcend its flaws. Most are very polite, some of them mention Art Tatum, but all long for an instrument that wouldn't always sound like it has been drinking to excess - a sober piano that could withstand the demands of pieces by Shostakovitch, Duke Ellington - or Tom Waits......
In an effort to raise funds for a decent piano, we are holding a benefit with some of the most talented musicians and pianists we know. For what will hopefully be the last time, they will extract divine sounds out of our drunken spinet. We hope to see you there"

Cat Power DVD Released
Experimental filmmaker, photographer and visual artist Mark Borthwick has completed an elaborate package including a nearly 2-hour-long film of Cat Power playing solo outdoors in the countryside. Shot from a great distance in gloriously grainy color, and recorded with all the ambient sounds of nature, this film in the tradition of Warhol and Wiseman is a fascinating document.
The DVD also includes 3 nature films set to music from 'You Are Free', and a CD including a single 18-minute long unreleased song saga entitled "Willie Deadwilder," an outtake from the 'You Are Free' recording sessions.
In a slipcase with foldout digipak and 64-page perfect-bound book created and illustrated by Mark Borthwick.
